15 octobre Collectable Dolls Online Shop - GroovyCart - Collectable Toys & Dollsa rival to e-bay? Collectable Dolls Online Shop - GroovyCart - Collectable Toys & Dolls Miss Potter - Awesome StoriesSTORY OF BEATICE POTTER HILLTOP, BEATICE POTTERS [MRS HEELIS] HOUSETOOK MUM FOR A RIDE IN THE LAKES ON SUNDAY, IT WAS RAINING ON THE WAY UP BUT WAS A LOVELY DAY IN THE LAKES, THE AUTUMN LEAVES JUST CHANGING COLOUR AND NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC. WE STOPPED AT HILLTOP, SOMETHING I'D WANTED TO DO FOR A BIT BUT HADN'T HAD CHANCE. MUM STAYED IN THE CAR AND READ HER BOOK AS SHE DIDN'T WANT TO COME IN.
THE HOUSE AND GARDENS ARE LOVELY, YOU COULD IMAGINE PETER RABBIT IN THE VEG GARDEN AND THE MICE IN THE DOLLHOUSE. I SPENT AGES LOOKING AT THE DOLLHOUSE, IT'S LOVELY, FULL OF REALLY NICE ITEMS. ON TOP IS A GLASS CASE WITH TINY GLOVES, BRUSHES, TOOTHBRUSH AND FANS IN. WANTED TO BRING ONE OF THE FANS HOME FOR MY KESTNER DOLL!
IN THE OTHER BEDROOM THERE IS A CASE WITH 4 DOLLS IN, 2 PARIAN, A LARGE FROZEN CHARLOTTE AND I THINK AN ENGLISH ONE, THERE ARE NO DETAILS ABOUT THE DOLLS THOUGH.
I COULDN'T TAKE PHOTOS INSIDE BUT GOT A COUPLE OF POSTCARDS WHICH I'VE SCANNED. I ALSO BOUGHT CHRISTENING PRESENTS FOR THE TWINS, MY NIECES BABIES. JEMMINA PUDDLEDUCK AND PETER RABBIT FOR PHEOBE AND JAMES.
  ABOVE ARE TWO POSTCARDS OF THE BEDROOM OF THE HOUSE AND THE DOLL HOUSE IN THE OTHER BEDROOM

I MANAGED TO GET SOME PHOTOS OF DEXTER, SARASNEW CAT, HE IS A RESCUE CAT AND WAS IN A HOUSE WITH LOTS OF CATS AND IT HAS TAKEN HIM A BIT TO GET USED TO ADULTS AND A CHILD PLUS 2 DOGS, 3 WHEN BOOTS VISITS, BUT HE IS SETTLING IN NOW AND VERY LOVELY AND ELEGANT WITH VERY LONG LEGS!     5 octobre COBHAM ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE DOLLHOUSE FAIRWE HAD A LOVELY DAY ON SUNDAY, SET OFF TO COBHAM EARLY MORNING AND STOPPED NEAR SILVERSTONE FOR A BREAK, GOT TO THE FAIR ABOUT 12, I'VE NEVER SEEN SO MANY ITEMS FOR SALE IN ONE PLACE, LOTS OF FURNITURE AND SO MANY HOUSES I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE TO LOOK FIRST! THERE WERE ALSO SOME DOLLS AND OTHER ITEMS INCLUDING DOLL FURNITURE AND ACCESSORIES.
I MET SOME OF MY INTERNET FRIENDS, IT WAS NICE TO MEET THEM AT LAST AND WE HAD A GOOD LUNCH AND THEN ANOTHER LOOK ROUND. I BOUGHT A FEW THINGS BUT WANTED SO MANY MORE. LATER I WENT TO THE CAR TO HAVE A BIT OF A REST BEFORE SETTING OFF HOME WHILE MAREL AND CAROL TALKED TO MORE FRIENDS. WE SET OFF HOME AFTER I'D HAD A CAN OF RED BULL AND FOUND THAT THE M40 WAS CLOSED J12-14, WE CAME OFF AT J10 AND CAROL DID AN EXCELLENT MAP READING JOB AND GOT US THROUGH BANBURY, PAST THE STATUE OF THE LADY WHO RODE TO BANBURY CROSS, AND UP TO J15. THERE WAS A LOT MORE TRAFFIC COMING BACK AND WE GOT BACK TO MINE AT ABOUT 10PM, CAROL STILL HAD ANOTHER HALF HOUR TILL SHE WAS HOME, I WAS VERY TIRED BY THEN WITH ALL THE DRIVING SO I HAD A QUICK TEA AND THEN WENT TO BED. I TRIED TO GET TODAY OFF BUT COULDN'T SO I TOOK A CAN OF RED BULL TO WORK AND WAS OK. NEXT TIME I THINK WE'L STAY OVER SATURDAY NIGHT THEN WE CAN GET TO THE FAIR EARLY! IT'S IN MARCH SO I THINK I NEED TO SAVE UP! IT WAS WELL WORTH GOING TO THOUGH, I WISH ALL OUR DOLL HOUSE FAIRS UP HERE WERN'T JUST MINIATURES AND DOLLHOUSE EMPORIUM! 3 octobre RIVINGTON DOLL AND TEDDY FAIRWENT TO RIVINGTON TODAY, IT WAS A BIT DISAPOINTING, LOTS OF NICE TEDDYS BUT ALL NEW, MOST OF THE DOLLS WERE ARTIST DOLLS, ONLY A FEW STALLS SELLING ANTIQUE AND THEY ALL DO MY FAIR, I GOT ONE DOLL FROM MIKE, BEARS OF WINDY HILL.
 I TOOK MAREL WITH ME AND WE MET UP WITH SHELLEY AND VIV, IT WAS NICE TO SEE VIV OUT AFTER HER OPERATION. SUSAN, BARBERA, GILLIE AND OTHER FRIENDS WERE THERE AS WELL. BOOTS CAME BUT HAD TO WAIT OUTSIDE, SOME STALL HOLDERS CAME OUT TO SEE HIM, THEY ALL THINK HE LOOKS LIKE A TEDDY AND HE MADE LOTS OF NEW FRIENDS!
THERE WERE SOME EXCELLENT TEDDIES AND ARTIST DOLLS BUT I'M TRYING TO STICK TO VINTAGE ITEMS.

DON'T THINK I'LL BE ABLE TO DO DECEMBER THOUGH AS I THINK I'LL BE WORKING THEN. 30 septembre COBHAM DOLLHOUSE AND MINIATURES FAIRI'M HOPING TO GO DOWN TO COBHAM ON SUNDAY, IT'LL BE A LONG DAY THOUGH, I THINK NEARLY 4HRS DRIVE DOWN, THEN AT THE FAIR THEN 4HRS HOME! I'VE NEVER BEEN BEFORE AND AM LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, I DON'T USSUALLY GO TO DOLLHOUSE FAIRS AS I LIKE THE ANTIQUE AND VINTAGE ITEMS, THE FEW FAIRS I'VE BEEN ROUND HERE ARE MAINLY NEW ITEMS.

WHEN I WENT TO YORK LAST WEEK WITH SHELLEY WE PICKED UP THE WRONG BAGS SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO SWOP THEM ON SATURDAY I HOPE, WE EACH GOT A ROYAL DOULTON PEGGY NESBIT AND THATS WHY WE GOT THE WRONG BAGS OUT OF THE CAR, I'VE GOT HER TEDDY AND SHE'S GOT MY ANTIQUE ENGLISH?

Vintage and Collectible Dolls - Porcelain Dolls, Baby Dollsdoll and dollhouse sale site 26 septembre BLACKPOOL LIGHTSWENT TO BLACKPOOL LIGHTS LAST NIGHT WITH JOE AND MY FRIEND MAREL, THE LIGHTS WERE BRILLIANT BUT I THINK THEY NEED TO SORT THE TRAMS!
WE WENT ALONG THE BACK ROADS AND STOPPED AT A PUB FOR TEA, A VERY NICE MEAL, WE PARKED UP AT BISPHAM, TOOK A BIT TO FIND SOMEWHERE. WE DID SEE THE FIREWORKS BUT THEY WERE IN THE DISTANCE, I THINK ITS THE FINAL OF THE FIREWORKS COMPETION NEXT FRIDAY. THEN WE WENT TO THE TRAM STOP, THE TRAMS WERE WAITING TO GO BUT THE DRIVERS ALL SEEMED TO BE ON A BREAK, HAD TO WAIT OVER 30 MINUTES FOR ONE TO SET OFF, A LOT OF PEOPLE GAVE UP AND WALKED! I THINK THEY LOST A LOT OF MONEY IN FARES BY NOT HAVING MORE REGULAR TRAMS. THE FARE WAS GOOD VALUE, ALL THE WAY TO THE PLEASURE BEACH, 2 ADULTS AND A CHILD FOR UNDER £5, WHEN WE GOT THERE WE HAD A LANDEAU RIDE, £25 IT WAS BRILLIANT, YOU GET A REALLY GOOD VEIW OF THE LIGHTS, SLIGHTLY SCARY WHEN YOU REALISE HOW CLOSE THE CARS ARE! THOSE HORSES TOTALLY UNFLAPPABLE!
THE RIDE TOOK US BACK TO THE TOWER SO WE WENT TO THE TRAM STOP TO CATCH A TRAM BACK TO BISPHAM, NO TRAM FOR AGES IN OUR DIRECTION AND WHEN IT DID COME IT WAS PACKED AND WE COULDNT GET ON, PEOPLE GAVE UP AGAIN, SOME GOT A TAXI, OTHERS WALKED, WE STARTED WALKING BUT IT WAS TOO FAR FOR JOE AND MAREL, JOE WAS VERY TIRED BY THAT TIME! I LEFT THEM TO WAIT AND WALKED TO THE CAR, TOOK ME 45 MINS! TAXI WANTED £8 SO DIDNT USE IT. WHEN I PICKED THEM UP THEY WERE A BIT COLD, JOE WENT STRAIGHT TO SLEEP AS SOON AS WE SET OFF AND WE FINALLY GOT HOME AT 12.30! THE LIGHTS WERE WORTH IT BUT THEY DEFINITLY NEED TO HAVE MORE TRAMS RUNNING.
THIS MORNING I WAS MEANT TO GET UP EARLY TO GO TO YORK, SHELLEY ARRIVED AT 6 AND I ONLY GOT UP THEN, WE WENT TO YORK CAR BOOT AND GAT SOME NICE THINGS, I BOUGHT A LOVELY LOWBROW CHINA HEAD DOLL WITH ORIGINAL? CLOTHES, HAD TO USE CHEQUE BOOK FOR THAT BUT IT WAS LOVELY, A COMPOSITION BABY IN PYJAMAS, MARKED MADE IN ENGLAND AND A NUMBER BUT NO OTHER MARKS, AN OLD POT HEAD DOLL, LOOKS ENGLISH MAKE. A TIN OF DOLL HOUSE FOOD, THE LARGE VINTAGE PLASTER SET, IT WAS IN A TIN BOX NOT ON SHOW, I JUST PICKED IT UP AND REALISED THERE WAS SOMETHING IN IT, WHEN I OPENED IT AND SAW THE FOOD I BOUGHT IT, NEEDS SOME GLUING AND SOME PIECES DAMAGED BUT OTHERS ARE GOOD.
I ALSO GOT SOME DOLL CLOTHES AND A CARPET FOR ONE OF MY DOLL HOUSES. WE EACH BOUGHT A PEGGY NISBET ROYAL DOULTON DOLL. I'LL POST PICTURES AS SOON AS THEY ARE CLEANED UP.                24 septembre Puppenmarkenlexikon um das Alter und die Herkunft Ihrer Puppen zu bestimmenGERMAN DOLL SITE WITH DOLL MARKS FOR GERMAN DOLLS SITE IN GERMAN BUT MARKS WELL PICTURED.
