I thought I would do a series of posts on various dolls that I will be keeping and why, or what they mean to me.
When I was a child I had a Sindy doll - 1973 Funtime Sindy with the skirt. I did have one a few years back that I bought when I was collecting teenage dolls, but sold her. Late last year I found another very much like my original doll and had an Ebay voucher so decided to spend it on her. She was missing her skirt and shoes though....but I hoped that eventually I would find those for her.

Here she is when she arrived.
She is by no means perfect, but not bad for her age!
I am sure mine didn't look as immaculate as this girl before she moved on to a new home! I think she was given away when I was in my late teens.
Eventually I found a set for her - I did have to buy the swimsuit as well, but will sell that on as I have kept her wearing her original swimsuit as I think it goes with the skirt better as it has the little orange stripe at the top which lines up with the orange in the swimsuit.
I am not sure whether I plan to get any more fashions for her, or if I will keep her as she is, or maybe sew for her. I want to keep my spending to a minimum this year so it will have to be something special if I do buy anything.
A little bit of nostalgia.
