August 29 E-BAY AND DOLL FAIR, 10,000 HITSNEARLY 10,000 HITS ON THE SITE NOW! JUST ABOUT 10 TO GO SO BY TONIGHT MAY BE OVER 10,000.
I HAVE LISTED THE DOLL FAIR ON E-BAY, HOPEFULLY THE NEXT FAIR ON 13TH SEPTEMBER WILL BE THE BEST. WE HAVE LOTS OF NICE STALLS AND I HOPE TO ADD TO MY COLLECTION AS WELL.
IT'S MUMS BIRTHDAY TOMORROW, SHE'S SPENDING THE WEEKEND AT THE FARM, THE FINNISH LAPHOUND PUPPYS HAVE GONE TO THEIR NEW HOMES EXCEPT MIA OF COURSE, SHE IS STAYING.
NEXT WEEKEND MUM IS COMING DOWN FOR THE WEEKEND, WE ARE GOING TO ECKINGTON TO SEE WERE DADS MATERNAL FAMILY CAME FROM, HIS PATERNAL FAMILY CAME FROM WHITEFIELD. I'LL GET CHANCE TO ASK HER MORE ABOUT HER FAMILY WHILE I CAN GET ON LINE, I CANT GET ON TO THE INTERNET WHEN I'M AT HERS.
I FOUND SOME RELATIONS OF MUMS THROUGH ANCESTRY LIVING IN ROCHDALE, MUMS GRANDDAD WAS BORN THERE TO A SHOPKEEPER WHO WAS BORN IN LAURIESTON, DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY, WE NEVER KNEW MUCH ABOUT HIM AS HE DIED WHEN GRAN WAS A BABY AND HER MUM DIED WHEN SHE WAS NINE, WE KNEW MUCH OF THE FEMALE SIDE BUT NOT THE MILLERS.
I AM STUCK ON SOME BRANCHES AS I NEED TO GO TO PLACES AND UNTILL I RETIRE IT'S HARD. WE HAVE A GEORGE HEBDEN, BORN IN APPLETON-LE-STREET TO A WELL-OFF FAMILY BUT I FOUND THE FAMILIES BUT NOT WHICH ONES WERE HIS PARENTS, TOO MANY GEORGE BORN AROUND THAT TIME, 1790 ISH.
HOPEFULLY I WILL GET IT SORTED ON DAY, THAT AND MY OTHER PROBLEM ON MY MATERNAL GRANDFATHERS SIDE, HIS MOTHER IS MEANT TO BE THE GRANDCHILD OF A MARRIAGE DISOLVED THROUGH THE MARRIAGE ACT 1836 BUT I HAVEN'T FOUND THE RECORD YET
CAN'T WAIT TO RETIRE! SO MUCH TO DO AND NOT ENOUGH TIME!!!
August 23 SINDY AND RIVINGTON.August 17 BRITISH COMPOSITION DOLLS AND HONGKONG CLONE DOLLSI'VE BEEN SORTING SOME OF MY CLONE DOLLS, BARBIE, SINDY ETC. CLONES, I'VE STILL GOT ONE TO PHOTO, WENDY THE DOLL YOU LOVE TO DRESS! PICTURES OF DOLL IN WEEKENDERS, PINK PYJAMAS, DRESS LIKE SUMMERTIME AND A TENNIS OUTFIT IN BLUE, THE DOLL IS MADE IN HONGKONG FOR WF AND IS IN A WEDDING DRESS, I WILL PUT THEM IN AN ALBUM AND ADD THIS ONES PHOTO TO IT AFTER. THERE IS GLORIA THE GOLDEN BRIDE, ANOTHER WF DOLL, BARBIE THIS TIME. SHE IS CHEAP PLASTIC WITH MOULDED EYELASHES AND VERY WELL DRESSED WITH A WEDDING DRESS WITH EARLY SINDY TYPE PRESSTUDS. BABETTE IS A BARBIE CLONE, THE BOX IS SIMILAR TO THE EARLY BARBIE BOX AND SHE COMES IN A PINK SUIT, AGAIN WITH THE EARLY SINDY TYPE PRESSTUDS, MAYBE THIS EXPLAINS SOME UNIDENTIFIED SINDY OUTFITS! THE OUTFIT IS LINED. THE DOLL IS LIGHTWEIGHT PLASTIC AND MARKED MADE IN HONGKONG ON HER UPPER BACK. HER EYES ARE PAINTED WITH A HEAVY BLACK LINE ABOVE. MISS GERALDINE IS A SINDY TYPE, ANOTHER WF DOLL. SHE IS SLIGHTLY BETTER QUALITY AND IS MARKED MADE IN HONGKONG ON HER LOWER BACK, HER ANORAK HAS A REAL ZIP. SUZETTE IS SUZY'S LITTLE SISTER, BOX JUST SAYS MADE IN HONGKONG, SHE IS LIKE SKIPPER. HER BACK IS MARKED MADE IN HONGKONG ON HER LOWER BACK. SCAMP IS A FAIRYLITE DOLL, EMPIRE MADE. HONGKONG ON HER NECK AND MID BACK. SHE IS MORE LIKE PATCH BUT SLIMMER AND A BIT TALLER. THE NEXT THREE ARE LINDA DOLLS, A SINDY CLONE WITH HER SWIMSUIT PINNED THROUGH HER BODY AT THE BACK AND MADE IN HONGKONG ON HER UPPER BACK. THE LITTLE ONE IS LIKE PATCH BUT VERY CHEAP, MADE IN 1972 IN HONGKONG, SHE IS STILL IN HER PACKET SO I CAN'T SEE IF SHE HAS ANY MARKINGS. THE LAST LINDA DOLL IS A PENNY BRIGHT CLONE, A BIT BETTER QUALITY BUT STILL IN PACKET SO I CAN'T SEE IF SHE HAS MARKINGS. THERE ARE SOME OTHERS OUT OF THE PACKETS SO I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE, ONE IS BY EVERGREEN, IN PINK DRESS, SHE HAS MOULDED EYELASHES AND IS A BARBIE DOUBLE, HER BACK IS MARKED EVERGREEN BRITISH COLONY OF HONGKONG, I DON'T THINK THE DRESS IS ORIGINAL. THERE IS A PLAYMATES BARBIE CLONE, IN THE WHITE DRESS AND SLEEVELESS COAT, SHE HAS THE MOULDED EYELASHES, HER BACK IS MARKED PLAYMATES HONGKONG. THE ONE IN THE BLUE SUIT IS MARKED MADE IN HONGKONG ON HER UPPER BACK, THE OUTFIT HAS A LABEL, MADE IN THE BRITISH COLONY OF HONGKONG. THE ONE IN THE SAILOR OUTFIT JUST HAS HONGKONG ON HER LOWER BACK, HER EYES HAVE HEAVY EYELINER ROUND BUT SHE IS MORE LIKE SINDY THAN BARBIE. THERE IS A TELSADA DOLL WITH A FACE LIKE ACTION GIRL AND BALD HEAD WITH 3 WIGS, HER NAME BEGINS WITH T AND ENDS DY I THINK, SHE IS JUST MARKED MADE IN HONGKONG ON HER UPPER BACK. THE KEN DOLL IS COMPLETLY UNMARKED BUT HE LOOKS VERY LIKE KEN. THE LAST ONE FOR NOW IS A TAMMY CLONE, HER OUTFIT IS A COPY OF ONE OF TAMMYS. SHE IS MARKED HONGKONG ON HER UPPER SHOULDERS AND TWO RAISED DOTS HALFWAY DOWN HER BACK ABOUT HALF INCH APART. THERE IS ALSO A ROW OF DOTS ROUND THE BOTTOM OF HER HEAD. I'VE BEEN BUYING MORE BRITISH COMPOSITION DOLLS, I NEVER REALISED HOW MANY DEANS MADE, I ALWAYS THINK OF THEIR CLOTH DOLLS, I'VE A FEW NOW BUT THIS ONE HAS A REALLY SWEET FACE. I ALSO BOUGHT A DOLL OF E-BAY, THE OWNER SEEMS TO REMEMBER HER BEING CHAD VALLEY, I LIKE HER MOULDED HAIR! THE BND COMPOSITION BABY IS VERY LIKE THE HARD PLASTIC ONES, I'VE PHOTO'D THEM TOGETHER SO YOU CAN SEE.
I JUST ADDED THE LAST PICTURE OF MY CHAD VALLEY VINYL DOLL TO COMPARE WITH THE COMPOSITION DOLL.
August 04 FINNISH LAPHOUNDSI MISSED THE KENDAL CALLING FESTIVAL AS IT WAS SOLD OUT, I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO IT BUT I SHOULD HAVE GOT A TICKET IN ADVANCE.
ON SUNDAY I SET OFF EARLY TO GO TO CARBOOTS BUT TWO WERE CANCELLED. I GOT TO THE A6 AT MILNTHORPE CARBOOT BUT DOCK ACRES AND BILSBORROW WEREN'T ON. THE ANTIQUE FAIR AT BARTON WAS ON AND I BOUGHT A LOVELY DOLL BED WITH ORIGINAL STRAW MATTRESS. I ALSO GOT A PIED PIPER BOOK BUT NOTHING TO SELL ON E-BAY. NOT THAT MUCH IS SELLING AND THE FEES ARE QUITE HIGH BUT I WANT TO HAVE MONEY IN THE ACCOUNT TO BUY WHAT I WANT. |
