January 28 E-BAY BUYSGOT SOME OF MY DOLLS FROM E-BAY, ONLY THE ONE FROM AMERICA TO COME. HOPEFULLY THAT WILL COME NEXT WEEK AND I WILL ALSO GET MY CAR BACK EARLY IN THE WEEK. OUT OF THE THREE DOLLS I GOT TWO WERE VERY NICE BUT THE THIRD WAS A MODERN PORCELAIN BABY SO IT WAS A DISAPOINTMENT AS I DO NOT COLLECT MODERN ORNAMENTAL ONLY PLAY DOLLS. I DIDN'T PAY A LOT BUT WILL HAVE TO BE MORE CAREFULL IN FUTURE AS I'VE NOT MUCH MONEY.
THE COMPOSITION DOLL IS REALLY NICE AND NOW SHE HAS HER HAIR CLEANED AND AN OLD, VERY NICE DRESS,IS LOOKING VERY LOVELY AND THE PALITOY IS A NICE EARLY CELLULOID.
EVEN THOUGH I DIDN'T GET TO THE TOY FAIR IT'S BEEN A VERY NICE DAY, I WENT FOR A WALK THIS AFTERNOON, THE COMPANY MADE THE WALK VERY SPECIAL! GOT TO GO AND SORT MY TEA NOW, VERY HUNGERY! January 27 GEORGE CARNELLHI, CANT GET TO GEORGE CARNELL, BORROWED CAR BUT THE FAIR IS FULLY BOOKED SO I WONT BE THERE.
WE WENT TO THE NORTH WEST DOLL CLUB MEETING TODAY, THE NEW VENUE IS NICE, IT'S ST CHADS ON MAULDETH ROAD MANCHESTER FOR ANYONE INTRESTED IN COMING TO THE NEXT MEETING, THE LAST SATURDAY IN APRIL. THERE ARE SOME NICE STALLS AND WE ALL BRING A BIT OF FOOD, MEMBERSHIP IS DUE APRIL, £4.00 AND ENTRANCE 50P. YOU GET A CLUB MAGAZINE 4 TIMES A YEAR AND GET TO MEET UP WITH FRIENDS WHO ARE INTRESTED IN DOLLS, TEDDYS ETC. THERE IS A DISPLAY OF A MOST RECENT ADDITION TO COLLECTION AND A COMP. FOR MAKING AN EASTER BONNET. January 25 STILL NO CAR, BUYING ON E-BAYHI, THE CAR IS NOT FIXED YET SO I'VE NOT BEEN TO ANY FAIRS. IT'S THE NORTHWEST DOLL CLUB MEETING ON SATUDAY AND GEORGE CARNELL TOY AND TRAIN FAIR ON SUNDAY, I'M BORROWING MY SON-IN-LAWS CAR AT WEEKEND. THEY'L USE SARAS'. LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING OUT!
MY SON BID ON A FEW DOLLS FOR ME ON E-BAY, I'VE NOT SEEN THEM YET, WILL ADD PICTURES WHEN I GET THEM.
SARA AND SI ARE GOING TO SEE THE WHISKEY CATS IN HUDDERSFIELD TOMORROW SO I'M LOOKING AFTER JOE. WE ARE GOING TO PICK UP MY DOLLS AND PUT A FEW ON E-BAY OURSELVES, PEGGY NISBIT, SHALLOWPOOL AND MAYBE SOME OTHERS.
MY DAUGHTER JUST ARRIVED, SHE WANTS TO PUT SOME MUSIC ON DISC SO WILL HAVE TO GO. January 16 PAPER DOLLSHI, NOT GOT MUCH THIS WEEK AS I NEED MY CAR TO GET TO CAR BOOTS. I MIGHT BE MENDING A TEDDY FOR A FRIEND SOON, I ENJOY MAKING TEDDIES BETTER BUT DONT LIKE TO MAKE THEM LOOK TOO NEW, THEY NEED TO KEEP THEIR AGE.
I'VE BEEN SCANING MY PAPER DOLLS, DO YOU REMEMBER NORA AND TILLY, THEY WERE IN WOMANS WEEKLY WHEN I WAS A CHILD AND WE SPENT THE RAINY DAYS IN THE CARAVAN CUTTING OUT THE DOLLS AND READING ABOUT ROWENA ROBIN IN THE CHILDRENS STORY. WE SPENT EVERY HOLIDAY IN OUR CARAVAN ON DENBY'S FIELD AT WRAY, ALL SUMMER, WHITSUN AND SOMETIMES EASTER, WE WERE EVEN UP THERE IN THE SNOW SOMETIMES!
I FOUND SOME KNITTING PATTERNS AND DOLL PATTERNS WHEN I WAS SORTING OUT MY DOLL PAPERS, WHEN I GET CHANCE I WILL TAKE SOME COPIES TO THE FAIRS, THEY WILL BE THE PRICE OF COPYING THEM BUT I CANT DO THEM UNTILL I CAN GET THEM COPIED. January 08 CARBOOT AND NO CAR FOR OVER A WEEKWENT TO CARBOOT AT CLITHEROE AND BOUGHT A COUPLE OF PIPPAS, ONE WAS ONLY FOR REPAIR, A MAORIE DOLL AND A NICE GERMAN PIXIE, HE IS FOR MY OWN COLLECTION. ON THE WAY HOME I CALLED AT BARTON FOR THE ANTIQUES FAIR, IT IS A VERY WELL USED VENUE, BESIDES MY DOLL, TEDDY AND MINIATURES FAIR, THERE ARE FLEA MARKETS AND ANTIQUE FAIRS AS WELL AS BIRTHDAY, WEDDING AND OTHER PARTYS. I FOUND A "KERSA" DWARF, A CHICKEN WHICH I THINK MAYBE STIEFF AND A PAIR OF ANNALEE MOBILETTE DOLLS MADE IN 1979.
WONT BE ABLE TO BUY MUCH FOR A BIT, ON THE WAY HOME I NOTICED A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL SO I TOOK THE CAR TO THE GARAGE TONIGHT, IT NEEDS A NEW FUEL TANK AND IT'S GOING TO COST A LOT SO WILL HAVE TO WATCH WHAT I SPEND FOR I BIT. THATS HARD BECAUSE IF SOMETHING GOOD COMES UP IT'S HARD NOT TO BUY AS I MIGHT NOT SEE ONE AGAIN! I NEED TO HAVE A BETTER DAY AT GEORGE CARNEL FAIR,URMSTON ON THE 29TH OF JAN.
IT'S MANCHESTER DOLL CLUB ON SATURDAY THE 28TH SO THAT WILL BE A BUSY WEEKEND. THE MEETING IS IN FLIXTON, CANT FIND THE DETAILS AT THE MOMENT BUT WILL POST THEM LATER. THE CLUB IS FOR PEOPLE WHO LIKE DOLLS, TEDDYS AND MINIATURES. January 05 TIME TO TAKE THE DECORATIONS DOWNIT'S THAT TIME AGAIN, TIME TO PUT THE DECORATIONS AWAY FOR ANOTHER YEAR. EVERYTHING LOOKS A BIT BARE WHEN THEY'VE GONE. WILL HAVE TO GET SOME MORE OF THE HOUSE FINISHED THIS YEAR, I'M FINDING IT HARDER NOW I'M WORKING FULL TIME, DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE ENERGY TO DO MAJOR JOBS AND I DONT EARN ENOUGH TO PAY ANYONE TO DO THEM. MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I'M GETTING OLDER AS WELL!
PROBABLY GET A NEW LEASE OF LIFE WHEN I RETIRE BUT I'VE A FEW MORE YEARS YET.
SARA AND SIMON GONE TO C.J'S IN LEEDS TONIGHT, THE WHISKEY CATS ARE PLAYING. I'M BABYSITTING AGAIN. THEY MUST HAVE SEEN THEM OVER 20 TIMES NOW, I'VE ONLY MANAGED 6 BUT WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO GO MORE.
NO FAIRS THIS WEEKEND, MAYBE I'LL GET TO SOME CARBOOTS ON SUNDAY AND FIND SOMETHING NICE. WILL LET YOU KNOW.
