Agnes has a visitor.

Agnes really wished her visitor had got dressed out of his sleep wear before coming to see her!

It's a party...

The Dreary's Party is in full swing...although again it seems like Skelly is already past standing upright!

Although we don't celebrate Halloween, three of my girls  want to wish all our friends who DO, a Happy Halloween.

Too much....

Hey there guys, I hear there is a party going on?

What is this?  Agnes (2) is thinking?  I hope 'it' doesn't get too close to me...  It is well,  Green!

So what do ya say Skelly me old boy?  Feel like a party?  Oh I see you have already been partying.. what's that you've been drinking..

Agnes, Viktor and Agnes are stunned at this intrusion... They haven't even sent out any invitations yet, and this little interloper certainly wouldn't have received an invite.   Any way it seems he can't stop talking!

Preparing....

With the cooler weather and darker nights and days fast approaching there is movement in the Dreary household...with the disappearance of sunlight comes a time for brewing potions, lotions and other such things...a time to catch up with gossip, arrange parties and other such delights...

and the reason Skeleton looks so relaxed....

...he drank too much of the home brewed spirits!

Tonner 12 inch dolls.

A new to me Marley Tonner doll has arrived - 'Violin First Chair'  she will join my other Marley doll

Well being musical how could I not?

I quite like these dolls - I like the pre adult shaped body - not young children, but not adults either and that appeals to me.  I have had my 'journey' with collecting adult dolls - Palitoy Tressy years ago now and all but a couple of that collection have now left for other homes.

I first discovered these dolls by chance when browsing Dolls 'Ending Soonest' on Evilbay - I saw the most unusual and strangely very appealing doll, who I discovered was 'Agnes Dreary' - I just had to have her.  Maybe I recognised something in her...

Well I then discovered she had a brother 'Viktor Dreary' Maestro - a musical theme?  Well of course he had to come to live here.

Somehow Agnes doesn't seem as pleased to see him as one would have imagined...

Marley was next in a wonderful Agnes Dreary outfit.

That was it for my little Tonner collection...or so I thought until I saw this wonderful Agnes in 'Minor Conundrum'

Well what a superb outfit - just had to have her!

So now I have two Agnes Dreary and two Marley dolls - plenty for me to be going on with.  Perhaps after my School Uniform commission I will make each of them a uniform as well as they are upper school age.
