Finally the weekend booty is revealed!!!

Sorry I didn't get chance to show you what I'd been buying yesterday. Despite it being officially daytime the sky tended to disagree and dingy photos were the result.


Although conditions aren't ideal today the results are a little better :)


In case you've been waiting with bated breath, here's what I bought at the weekend :)


pencildoll

A gift from Little Miss P :)

barbiedress

A new dress for the girls...


trollfamily

A family of Dam trolls rescued from the RSPCA shop...


folkdolltrinketpot

A cute little folkdoll trinket pot from another charity shop...

I've had some good luck finding cute items at charity shops lately, but I hear on the radio that less people are donating goods at the moment and they're quite desperate for new stuff to sell. So please, if you have any spare items of bric-a-brac or clothing, why not take them to your nearest charity shop? It's a lot more environmentally friendly than landfill too!

New paper doll outfit... St Hilda of Whitby

Whitby is my favourite place in all the world, and it is famous for more things than just Dracula alone! Today is dedicated to St Hilda of Whitby so, to celebrate, I have created a new paper doll outfit in her honour:

Cute Plushies from B E Goths...

I'm kicking off the morning with a bit of news...

I have a BE Goth doll, and Little Miss P has two, but I had no idea that they had plush creations available... and such cute ones too :)

Not only that, but over the Christmas period the price is reduced from $12.99 to $9.99!

Click on the link to visit the BE Goths store and check them out :)

Weekend slackness strikes again!

Weekend posting slackness strikes again... only it's not really so much slackness as downright busy-ness (she says, desperately trying to excuse her inaction!).


No really! I was shopping in Rotherham on Saturday, so I do have some new dolly purchases to share. Then today, after church, first Little Miss P decided to order her very first Momoko, 'Wild and Sexy Tune', with the Christmas money from her Grandma, and then we ended up in Meadowhall. I made yet more dolly purchases, not the least of which was the new 'Barbie in A Christmas Carol' DVD. Little Miss P and I just got finished watching it and it's most cute and lovely in a predictable, sentimental and sweet kind of a way :) If you enjoyed the other Barbie movies (which you'll either love or HATE!) this one will certainly not disappoint :)


Good news was, that alone the DVD is £13.99 but as a double box set you can get it with 'Barbie in The Nutcracker' DVD for only £1 more. We bought it from Zavvi but I'm presuming you can get the box set elsewhere, great value :) We also spotted the Christmas Carol Eden doll in Toys R Us and she's very cute, we especially loved her extravagant dress!






I'll reveal the dolly purchases tomorrow when there's enough light to photograph them...
I also have another paper doll half finished, and some paperdoll outfits in the pipeline.


See you tomorrow, Holly xoxo
