Welcome it’s been a while Things have changed a lot I am now retired and a doll collector. The stories below this one are all old stories but welcome to read if you like. I decided to start blogging again because I now do stories with dolls and looking for interested people to read them. It started a few years ago when I found a doll in the charity shop boy doll he was different fully articulated found he was a Liv doll. I had to find out who he was and then ended up buying more of the dolls. They all have names and personality’s my boy was called Jake the girl dolls was Hayden, Sophie, Alexis, Katie. The girls have wigs that you can change came in handy if you want to make new characters and I have. My story if interested is over on m y doll page @sunnyteddy_dolls when I first started collecting dolls was when I renovated them to sell fell in love with the large 60s dolls. Then a few years ago started collecting new dolls and my collection has grown. I also started on TikTok can’

That Doll part 3

That Doll part 3 I removed the dress and booties from the doll pretty cotton dress lace blue ribbon and lace detail. Hard to say how the dress came to be on the doll mystery you could say the dress was handmade and fit the doll perfect ? When looking for dolls like the lady who she belonged to normally old dolls are missing there clothes and have to find new ones or make them this is the case with this doll. How long she had the doll is a mystery made in the 80s most dolls are girls. Looking in to the history Peggy nisbet made dolls of the royals small hard plastic dolls in traditional royal dress not a lot of information about the bigger fashion dolls made later by the house of nisbet. Only information I have is from three I found sold these dolls are hand crafted and made them unique even the clothes are hand made had white socks and plastic Cinderella ( make) shoes. I can only find the HRH Prince William but I do believe one was made of Harry to. Mystery still goes on and I a

That Doll part 2 Yes that Doll I decided wasn’t over keen on the lips I had repainted and the paint was still wet so removed it. The doll was still on my mind I listed it on Etsy still not sure where she had come from ? I was sure I had seen a doll like her when looking through vintage dolls. Trying to list her wasn’t easy kept saying error finally Listed I looked at the pictures it was late pictures looked fuzzy something was telling me It’s not right you know when you get a feeling about something and it won’t go away till you sort the problem that was this doll. Ok so I had to search it was late but wasn’t going to give up as By magic it took me straight to the doll in sold on eBay but it wasn’t a girl it was a boy doll that explained a lot. My pretty girl doll was a boy but not any boy he was made to commemorate the birth of HRH Prince William during the 1980s. This inspired the house of nisbet to produce a collection of dolls called royal babies. The letters on back of nec

That Doll

- January 22, 2020

That Doll Beautiful Dolls I was lucky enough to find some vintage dolls on the car boot sale . They didn’t seem to want this one go for a low price said it came from an old lady who had passed away leaving a collection of vintage dolls. I bought a couple from them the week before then had gone back following week this doll was still on the stall looking at me saying buy me. Very dark eyes Pale skin and blonde hair. I had to have her even though she had a big pen mark at the side of her face near the eye. After a haggle they let me buy her the dress she was wearing was lovely cotton and lace with blue ribbon trim blue buttons. Renovating dolls is a new thing for me but had removed ink before so knew I could remove the ink from her face. So pleased when the ink came off I sat her on my shelf in the craft room she was different her hair was quite short mmm had it been cut? They did say she was from the 70s so a lot of dolls had shorter hair but I wasn’t sure. All clean and

Hello Well I had a walk the other day ! I am only a small distance away from where I lived as a girl and my hubby lived just in the next street when we was courting but that’s another story. I had to go to the post office with a parcel bit of a walk not sure they like their jobs as they never look happy, I always thought you greeted customers with a smile well that’s how it was when I worked in a shop but that’s another story. Walking back my leg was aching but had to go to doctors not for my leg they said that it could be osteoporosis just gave me pain killers to go with the high blood presser not good but that’s another story. I decided to walk by where I lived as a girl I remember playing handstands on the wall the houses where quite new when we moved in, my friend Jackie broke her collar bone doing a handstand but that’s another story.
