Spring!

The weather has been beautiful here and I'm hoping that spring really has sprung already.  I went for a walk on the beach with my friend and her dog and decided to bring along a doll to photograph.  My friend Julie isn't a doll collector but she does seem to take an interest in my dolls and often says she'll make some knitted items for them.....I'm still waiting Julie!!! 😉

So it was the turn of Neele, my one remaining Wichtel doll by Rosemarie Muller.  She's a cute little thing and I thought, with her big wide soled sandals, she'd be a good doll to take to the beach as she'd hopefully not fall flat on her face in the sand!!!  

 Neele has her bucket but she doesn't have a spade, so I need to find an icecream place that serves their desserts with those spade shaped plastic spoons because I think it'd be the perfect size for her!  And what a good excuse for an icecream!

My friend Julie then set up this pose with her dog, Louis....I definitely think Julie has an eye for doll photography, I may have to lend her a doll to take out with her when we walk the dogs again next time!!! 😉

And here's the end result, I think you'll agree a cute shot!  It helps that Louis is a very well behaved boy, my dogs would probably have dragged my doll face down through the stones!!!

Apart from that, my selling has continued and several of my dolls have found new homes.  A few are still waiting to be adopted, including two previously brunette bald Sashas,  a bald Gregor and two brunette Gregors, one of which was rerooted by me.  And also my first blond Sasha, Millie, who has beautiful hair and who's eyes were repainted by Shelly of Sasha Dolls UK.  She is actually already on Ebay, if you're interested.

If you look at all my listings you will see the other dolls I currently have listed.  If you're interested in any of them, please contact me and I can sell them off Ebay if you'd prefer it.

Before I go, I thought I'd share a few other photos that I've taken recently of various dolls of mine.  I'm doing a 'doll a day' with a couple of friends via email, I'm enjoying it because it's making me take photos of my dolls when sometimes I just can't be bothered!!!  

Here is Anais (Irrealdoll Annic in Truffle skin) with her new bike which I found on Ebay, it's the perfect scale for her and so nicely detailed.

 

And here is one of my first Blythes, Hershey who is a Simply Chocolate Blythe that I customised some years ago....

And finally, a photo of Anuschka, one of my Zwergnase Juniors.  She is from 2006 and her hair is made of mohair and has got really tangled and messy recently.  But these photos don't show that, so I was really happy with how she looks.  She has such a great grumpy face!! 😊

Well I hope you all have a great week and that the weather is good wherever you are!

Big hugs

Some of my dog photos....as requested by Ronny of Simply Sasha!

Ronny is giving me stick about not sharing more photos of my dogs, so here you go, specially for you Ronny, some photos taken today and yesterday, of my little girls and boy!!!  Not great photos I'm afraid, they move too quickly for me to get good shots!!! :)

Lucy, Miniature Pinscher, enjoying the sunshine!

Yoda does one of her Yoga stretches!

Kara, my littlest Chihuahua!

Yoda and her shadow!

Suki checks out the plants...and wishes she'd remembered to wear her sunglasses!!

Choco says "Speak to the tail....."  

"Is this my best side?" asks Lucy!

Kara, the smallest of our dogs and Lucy, the largest, sunbathing in the DIRT!!! 

Choco, once again showing us his best side!!! NOT!

Ah, finally we see Choco from a more 'polite' angle!

Choco, looking very suspicious of the camera!

Well Ronny, I hope you've enjoyed seeing my furry babies again, I will try to take more photos...more often!!!  :)

Siesta time.....and another beautiful sunset!

No dolly news again today, although there are several packages waiting for me at home, so there will be lots to 'show and tell' once I get my hands on those.  So I thought I'd share a few photos that I took yesterday.  We had another beautiful sunset....I hope no-one's bored with sunsets, but I can't resist running outside with the camera when I see such gorgeous colours!  But prior to that, I actually managed to get a photo of all 5 dogs looking at the camera!!!!!  So I just had to share that here too....it's not often I can get all of them to look at me at the same time! 

Poor hubby, he is the human cushion, which is, according to dogs, the best cushion of all!!
