Dolly encounters of the continental kind...

What is nicer than to spend a day browsing the continental market?

'Not much' I say! We had a great time sampling Japanese Teriyaki Chicken and dumplings, French Macaroons, Turkish delight, German Sausages and Dutch Pancakes... and yes, we did feel sick by the end!

Luckily though, I was still mobile enough to drag myself to a lovely Matrioshka stall, and this is what I saw (apologies for the poor camera work, but it was pretty crowded and I was pretty self conscious :/)



Beautiful though they were, the Matrioshkas were a little bit outside my price range. I did manage to adopt one new dolly though from the British Heart Foundation charity shop. She will be introduced to you tomorrow when there is more light :)

Love, Holly & the dollies xoxo

P.S. I hope you like the new bonfire night banner :)

New Petite Poupee dolls from Caya's Creations

I have been an admire of Caya's beautiful bears for some time now, but recently she has branched out into the most beautiful folk dolls.

Petite Poupees measure only 6 inches high and are hand drawn with watercolour pencils and have beautiful Tibetan lambswool hair.

I find them enchantin, like illustrations come to life.
