An old school friend sent me some splendid gifts in the post a while back, including a squeaky baby and a Sindy pamphlet from 1986 which brought back lots of fond memories of the Television Studio playset. I’ve scanned the little booklet for others to enjoy, but you’ll just have to imagine what the baby sounds like!
Probably for the first time ever, all the dolls bought over the last couple of weeks will be resold. My best find was the 1970’s Sindy “Camping Scene”, which held extra delights inside too!
Doll finds this month so far include Barbie aplenty, Disney Princess, my first Hairdorables, Highschool Musical, a super rainbow-haired LOL Surprise, a Monster High doll for my own collection, Shimmer & Shine and Sindy.
February was a good month for dolls! My favourite find (quite literally), was a naked Doctor Who “Sec Hybrid” doll in the bushes along my road! He had been there unclaimed for a couple of weeks, so decided to rescue him from the spiders and give him a new home (and clothes when I find something fitting).
These are my dolly finds from the end of November. I’m keeping the Wonder Woman DC Super Hero Girls (I’ve found four of these dolls so far), but the rest will be added to my shop in due course. Finds include a vintage Tiny Blessings doll called “Christopher” Sindy, Rosetta (from Tinkerbell), Rapunzell, Belle, singing Doc McStuffins, a bunch of little Bratz, What’s Her Face, Inside Out “Joy”, Equestria Girls, LOL Surprise, Lots To Love baby doll and the super Molly & Friends large “Evie” doll. I also found a few odds and sods, plus a large broken vintage doll called “Rosebud”.
What did I buy last week? Vintage toys include a View Master with three reels, a Troll wearing inline skates and a super 1970’s doorbell! I also found a few Barbie dolls, a Sindy and Littlest Pet Shop Blythe doll, a modern Popples and Cabbage Patch Kids, Zelfs, two FurReal Pets and a Zhu Zhu puppy, a Cupcake Surprise with extra hat, three Palace Pets with extra tails and crowns, several McDonald’s Happy Meal toys, a little Lalaloopsy doll with spare head, Zomlings, Fingerlings, Pingu’s igloo (which goes with the three figures from the previous week), Transformers and a few other little figures. I bought a couple of baby dresses to have a go at making doll dresses from too.
I found three excellent 80’s things this week; a whole bunch of charms, a Sindy doll and a Flower Fairies annual! I also found Moxie Girlz, Barbie, Bat Girl, Snow White, Cinderella, a My Little Pony headband thingie, “Haircutting for Everyone” and two baby dresses for the fabric.
The Classic Toys stamps were released in August 2017 and feature ten different British toys, many of which I owned (a few I still do).
