February 26 Talking about Sutherland The Far North West of ScotlandTHE AREA AROUND UNAPOOL WHERE MARYKS DOLL MUSEUM AND BED AND BREAKFAST IS. A LOVELY AREA. February 25 BARTON DOLL TEDDY AND MINIATURES FAIRJUST OVER A WEEK TO GO TO THE FAIR, STALLS ARE FULLY BOOKED, IT SHOULD BE A GOOD FAIR, I'M HOPING I'LL FIND SOMETHING NICE TO ADD TO THE COLLECTION, I USUALLY DO FIND A FEW NICE THINGS.
I HAVE BEEN SO BUSY ON THE HOUSE RECENTLY I HAVEN'T HAD A LOT OF TIME TO SORT THE DOLLS OR DO MY BOOK. STILL GOT MORE TO DO BUT THE MAJOR WORK IS DONE UNTILL I CAN AFFORD TO TILE THE BASEMENT FLOOR. THE ROOM IS LOOKING NICE AND I SHOULD BE ABLE TO MOVE THE DOLLHOUSE INTO IT, THEN I'LL BE ABLE TO SET THE TRAIN SET AND FLORAL GARDEN UP ON THE TABLE IN THE CELLAR. I'VE BOUGHT MORE IKEA GLASS CABINATES FOR THE DOLLS SO HAVE BEEN REARRANGING UPSTAIRS AS WELL. I WISH THEY DID ADJUSTABLE SHELVES ON THEM AS SOME DOLLS DONT FIT. THEY ARE NICE CABINATES BUT HARD WORK TO PUT UP ON YOUR OWN!
HERE ARE SOME OF THE DOLLS ETC. I HAVE BOUGHT AT BARTON, NOT ALL OF COURSE, SOME I HAVEN'T TAKEN PHOTOS OF YET.

February 17 Talking about Roberta's Doll House - Porcelain dolls, antique dolls, china dolls, kestner, german dolls, bru, kesthttp://www.robertasdollhouse.com/index2.html JUST FOUND THIS SITE, AN AMERICAN DOLL SHOP WITH MY NAME! NO RELATION! THE DOLLS ARE LOVELY, SOME THAT I'D LIKE VERY MUCH, THE KAMPKINS AND JUST ME DOLL, ALSO THE SMILING GIRL. I WONDER HOW LONG SHE HAS BEEN SELLING AS ROBERTA'S DOLL HOUSE, MY ROBERTA FAIRS HAS BEEN 20 YEARS NOW AND THE DOLLS I USED TO MAKE WERE ROBERTA DOLLS.
