I sort of wish that I'd not been looking through my old photos again....my friend says that she deletes all her photos of old dolls for this very reason, but I like to keep mine. But now I keep wondering if another Himstedt would like to come and live here again? LOL......I knew it was a bad idea! <br />I would just LOVE to see your girls if you have any photos of them please!!!!! I am so tempted again, but maybe looking at your girls would make me realise that it's far better to see other people enjoying them than to go back down that Himstedt route again myself :)<br />xxxxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-12458268004650707112014-11-15T23:09:51.616+01:002014-11-15T23:09:51.616+01:00Wonderful post of your previously loved Himstedts!...Wonderful post of your previously loved Himstedts! I love them too Sharon. I have sold all of the larger ones I owned except for Kim and I have a couple of Kleines and two Tinkes that are mid-sized, red headed and just happy girls. I love seeing how you redressed them and it is wonderful. Thank you for sharing!!! :) xxxGingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05448401674397732366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-19362373037796916552014-11-11T21:09:54.392+01:002014-11-11T21:09:54.392+01:00I wish I had some pictures to show you, they were ...I wish I had some pictures to show you, they were on my old laptop and when it when wrong we ditched it...(:<br />However, I have some great memories of the many dolls I loved and lost...and I agree with you the price of shoes for the Himmies was frightening :)SimplySashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16126669877303283136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-81381844533337917312014-11-11T20:14:12.691+01:002014-11-11T20:14:12.691+01:00Thanks very much Steve, glad you enjoyed them. I...Thanks very much Steve, glad you enjoyed them. I used to love looking in the sales for clothing for them...and still have all of it in a box somewhere, except for a few dresses that I made myself, which funnily enough I put in the jumble sale bag recently! Wonder what happened to them afterwards?<br />I do believe that Pinchinhu could be the same sculpt, having just looked on a website that I like to frequent sometimes. Although Tawni is a couple of centimetres taller than Pinchinhu. I can just imagine James's face when the box arrived, I think I saw something similar pass over Brian's face when mine used to arrive :)<br />That Anna Lu was gorgeous, wasn't she! Oh and Bellis, there's one on Ebay as we speak! And oh yes, Ailien was lovely!<br />I love them all, that's the problem....where does it end!<br />I regularly like to look on this website: http://www.himstedt-dolls.com/index_en.htm<br />xxxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-64266828153677069812014-11-11T20:07:46.636+01:002014-11-11T20:07:46.636+01:00I know what you mean Ronny, as soon as I started l...I know what you mean Ronny, as soon as I started looking at my photos so it was then looking at other peoples, which was so enjoyable....and then it was looking again on ebay.....I really don't want to go down that route again, but it would be nice to have just the one, wouldn't it ;)<br />You sound like you were really overrun with them at one point....I would have loved to have seen all those, I don't suppose you kept any photos????? Plleeeeze!<br />I think all mine ended up going to the US when I sold them.....and my goodness the postage was enormous!!!<br />xxxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-75077625857668798162014-11-11T20:05:41.652+01:002014-11-11T20:05:41.652+01:00Thanks Dee and yes, you're right they are jus...Thanks Dee and yes, you're right they are just like real kids and cost as much to keep ;) Especially in the shoes I was buying for them, Spanish kids shoes, all leather and patent!!!! Crazy really but at least they rarely if ever grew out of them ;)<br />Moni was cute indeed but she had the older body which has these strange cloth parts at the top of the arms, I hated those and much preferred the later ones with the full vinyl arms. I liked them to be able to wear short sleeves you see.<br />Glad you enjoyed seeing them!<br />xxxxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-18492410647816454522014-11-11T19:37:32.797+01:002014-11-11T19:37:32.797+01:00Yep, I had Anna Lu, Tscharle, Bellis and I think ...Yep, I had Anna Lu, Tscharle, Bellis and I think it was Malawi. I was lucky to get Ai Lien a chinese girl from 2005...I bought from a doll shop for £385...and sold her for a whopping £1800!!!SimplySashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16126669877303283136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-37525123914049579132014-11-11T18:59:47.685+01:002014-11-11T18:59:47.685+01:00Love looking at your Himmie kids Sharon, so beauti...Love looking at your Himmie kids Sharon, so beautifully dressed. I love how they look so real, especially the two on the trike. I had planned to Buy more but James nearly had a fit when Tawnie arrived in her massive box, lol. so that was it no more. I think Pinchinhu and Tawnie are very similar Sharon, might even be the same sculpt. Ronny did you have any from Annetts last sculpt from 2008, I loved the two Chinese girls?

I owned 24 at the height of my Himmie collecting, they moved on from the doll room, gradually took over the upstairs landing and then some moved into the lounge. I had all the 2007 collection, which was my favourite year, some from 2005 and four from the collection from 2008. Many of mine went to Germany...the prices now have hit the roof, so unless I win the lottery I won't be collecting them again!SimplySashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16126669877303283136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-52965388533011472742014-11-11T01:03:58.462+01:002014-11-11T01:03:58.462+01:00Goodness they are so big and look just like real c...Goodness they are so big and look just like real children! They are gorgeous though. I especially like the first one and also Moni, love her and her red hair and if she was smaller much easier to find a place for.<br />It's amazing what we buy then sell then wish we had kept but life evolves and so does our collections and sometime we go back and start again.<br />Thanks for sharing Sharon, they looked wonderful but almost like real children in that they'd take over the house!<br />hugs Dee xxDeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421536902399459683noreply@blogger.com
