After quite a bit of thinking and wanting to do more, I have decided to close my blogs down for a while. Not sure how many are actually reading it any more anyway and I think it is time for a break. This is due to various reasons that I don't wish to go into due to 'Chinese Whispers' and other hurts that seem to occur when things are said 'third hand'. I will leave this up for the next few days so that anyone who does will know 'where they have gone'. Maybe I will come back refreshed and more enthusiastic, maybe I will give up the whole blogging lark and dolls altogether, at this stage I just don't know...all I know is they are no longer 'bringing me joy' and surely that is the whole point of a hobby?
Hi Serenata, thank you for all of your wonderful posts and I appreciate you letting us know instead of just disappearing all together! i will certainly miss you and little Wren , but I completely understand. We all reach a point where it's time to take a break or even move on and I wish you the best of luck in all of your endeavors. Best wishes. Xo Farrah
ReplyDeleteOh, I am so sorry to read this!!! I loved reading your blogs! Your stories and pictures are wonderful!!! I hope you will decide to stay!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I recently discovered your blog and enjoy reading it but very, very rarely comment on blogs. Well, I'll miss you and your dolls but this blog and the dolls should make you happy and if they don't anymore then you should take a break. So, maybe until later? I certainly wish you all the best.
ReplyDeleteAnd by the way, I really, really, really want a Makie now and that's your doing. ;)
Linda
Thank you Linda for your kind and thoughtful comment, it is appreciated and hopefully I won't go away completely :-) I actually am really enjoying my Makies so thinking that I won't be able to stay away from posting them for long!
DeleteGood luck if you decided to get a Makie....they currently have a 25% and free postage special going on at the moment!
I know of the 25% discount. No free shipping as I live in the Netherlands but still...too tempting to resist so I ordered Juniper which I really like anyway and it was the most budgetfriendly option to compensate for the shipping cost ;). I got some extra shoes and a wig too. But as far as shoes are concerned what size shoes do they wear (as I know your Makies wear some great shoes)?
DeleteAnyway I'm really looking forward to getting my first Makie.
Linda
I'm sorry to read that you're having troubles. I've loved reading your blog and seeing the variety of dolls in your collection, so I'll certainly miss seeing your posts pop up on my feed.
