March 29 LAKELAND PLANGON, DOLL CLUB,WE HAD A GOOD MEETING AT THE LAKELAND PLANGON CLUB, PLANGON MEANS DOLL! THE NEW VENUE AT THE BECK CENTRE, HERON HILL, IS NICE BUT COULD DO WITH A BIT MORE PARKING. COULDN'T TAKE THE DOG THOUGH! THE OLD PLACE WAS GOOD FOR THAT BUT HAS GONE UP IN PRICE.
THERE WERE TWO DISPLAYS, ONE FOR SPRING ITEMS AND THE OTHER FOR "MOTHERS LITTLE HELPER" ITEMS. SOME VERY INTRESTING THINGS WERE BOUGHT TO THE MEETING INCLUDING AN OLD STOVE AND A LOVELY TRIANG WASHDAY SET WITH MANGLE, THERE WAS A LOT TO LOOK AT AND THE COMPETION WAS FOR A KITCHEN DISPLAY, THREE ENTRIES OF A VERY HIGH STANDARD.
THE TALK WAS ON EARLY GERMAN KITCHENS, SOME PHOTOS OF VERY NICE ONES, I'D LIKE ONE BUT DONT THINK I COULD I AFFORD THEM.
I BOUGHT A HUEBACH BOY DOLL IN LOVELY OLD VELVET SHORTS, MINT OLD LEATHER SHOES AND A MOHAIR COAT AND HAT. HE IS LOVELY BUT HAS HAD AN ACCIDENT, HIS FACE IS ALL CRACKED. I WILL LOOK OUT FOR A NEW HEAD BUT HE IS VERY SWEET ANYWAY AND THE CLOTHES ARE LOVELY.
I'M HOPING TO GET THE KITCHEN FLOOR TILED THIS WEEK BEFORE ALL MY FRIENDS COME FOR A DOLL MEETING IN MID APRIL. SHOULD BE A VERY BUSY DAY.                         March 28 LAKELAND PLANGON DOLL CLUBIT'S THE LAKELAND PLANGON MEETING TOMORROW, WE ARE AT A NEW VENUE IN KENDAL NOW, A BIT FURTHER FOR US, IT USED TO BE NEAR MILNTHORPE AND IS NOW AT THE HERON CENTRE AT KENDAL. THE TALK IS ON OLD GERMAN TOY KITCHENS AND THE DISPLAY IS EASTER RELATED ITEMS AND MUMMYS LITTLE HELPER TOYS. I WILL TAKE PHOTOS AND ADD THEM AS SOON AS I CAN AFTER TOMORROW.
ILKLEY AUCTION IS TODAY BUT I CANT AFFORD TO GO AS I'VE SPENT A LOT ON THE HOUSE RECENTLY AND STILL GOT SOME TO DO. NO MORE DRILLING INTO THE WALL SO HOPEFULLY MY NEIGHBOUR WONT COMPLAIN, IT WAS ALL RIGHT FOR HIM TO BE DRILLING INTO THE WALLS UNTILL 10 AT NIGHT BUT HE COMPLAINED WHEN WE WERE ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON, WE WERE BUILDING A BROOM CUPBOARD, IT STILL NEEDS SIDES AND DOORS THEN PAINTING. THE KITCHEN FLOOR IS WAITING TO BE TILED AND THE STAIRS NEED A LAST COAT OF PAINT, I'M WAITING TO DO THAT WHEN THE KITCHEN IS DONE AND I CAN DO IT WHEN THE DOG DOESNT NEED THEM, HE ALWAYS WANTS TO GO INTO THE GARDEN WHICH IS DOWNSTAIRS!
