A Girl for All Time Lydia, looking for a new home! SOLD - Thankyou!

I recently showed this sweet girl on here, she is Lydia from the British company, A Girl for All time.  Unfortunately, although I think she is very pretty and very good quality, she just doesn't fit in with my other dolls.  So she is looking for a new home!

Lydia will come with her complete stock outfit.  She is lovely and clean with no bad smells or damage.  Her outfit is also in great condition.  I have added extra blush to Lydia's cheeks and made her eyebrows slightly darker.  She has lovely black hair which has a slightly lighter shade of dark brown (if that makes sense!) highlights running through it, and very deep blue acrylic eyes.  Lydia is about 16 inches tall and has additional joints at her elbows and knees.

Lydia retails for about £90 but I'm asking £70 (approx $100) or near offer plus postage.  I will ship worldwide.  I do not have her original box but would wrap her well for her journey.

Please email me at dambuster0662@gmail.com if you are interested in giving her a new home!

Thanks for looking!  Have a great weekend everyone :)

THANK YOU, LYDIA HAS NOW FOUND A NEW HOME!

A Girl for All Time Lydia...

I never really had any interest in purchasing one of the 'A Girl For All Time' dolls but a lovely lady in France asked me to do some work for her and wondered if I would like to trade for her A Girl For All Time Lydia.  I had heard that the dolls were well made and being a UK company, I thought it would be nice to see for myself.  For those of you who don't know of this company and their dolls, more information can be found here on their website:

A Girl For All Time


So the doll arrived yesterday and my first thought was "maybe she's not for me" because she came in her original outfit which, although very well made and containing many pieces, it just didn't seem to suit her.  It is lemon for a start and I felt if made her look a bit washed out with her dark hair and dark blue eyes.  But also because Lydia is the company's Georgian girl and I'm really only into more modern dolls to be honest.  Here is a photo of Lydia in her default outfit, not my photo because I forgot to take a 'before' one!

However, I'm always willing to give things a go, so I undressed her and had a look at her face which I felt was a little bit pale for a girl who's going to be living quite an 'outdoors' life here in Spain.  So I added a bit of colour to her cheeks, some blush to her nose and chin and I filled her eyebrows in a little with black watercolour pencil.  Then it was time to find some clothes for her to wear.

Well it seems that Lydia is no shrinking violet and was not prepared to put on a dress, oh no, this young lady tells me that she is a thoroughly modern miss and wanted to wear jeans, but not any old jeans, oh no, she wanted to wear these torn jeans!  So on they went and then it was a tee shirt and finally matching beanie hat and arm warmers!  Oh not forgetting the denim sneakers of course!  All she wants now, apparently, is a skateboard!!

Now there's a turn up for the books!

 

Lydia is about 16 inches tall and has jointed elbows and knees in addition to the usual joints at the shoulders, neck and top of the legs, however the knees don't hold a pose because they are elastic strung so they just immediately go back to where they want to be!  But she's cute all the same!

My doll shelves are starting to bow with the weight of all these newcomers!!! :)

Thanks for stopping by!
