Wandering with Wren at Shanklin Beach

Wren enjoys a wander at Shanklin Beach today.

There are some commemorative plaques that have some interesting historical information on them

She shows the other one too.

Sitting and watching the sea

Balancing.

A lovely day was had.

Wandering with Wren - Freshwater Bay

Wren enjoyed a lovely wander along Freshwater Bay on Saturday afternoon.

She enjoyed sitting on the beach quietly contemplating to the sound of the sea lapping the shore.

Staring out to sea.

Some more sitting...

 

Wandering with Wren - Life in Miniature Dolls' Houses

Yesterday Wren wandered over to Ryde to see a Dolls' House exhibition of one lady's collection.

A little note about the collection.  

There were also sheets to read about each house which was really interesting.

Wren was amazed at all the detail in these little houses.

Such a lot of work went into them.

This was unique!

She loved the toy shop.

and the sewing and wool shop.

These was a fun house too.

I liked this older style house, it has a certain charm.

Wren really enjoyed these houses and hopes that we have got some inspiration to work on ours at some stage.  

 

Well that was Christmas 2022!

Well here we are, the last day of 2022 and I have finally uploaded the photos of the Christmas dolls in their finery.

I won't worry about who is who, unless someone specifically wants to know...please ask if so.

This was the little Nativity Scene that the various dolls opened for Advent last year.

The Sasha dolls adorned their usual spot on the dresser.

Another group here...

A mixed group here...with sadly my Waldorf Inspired doll missing...seems she was busy elsewhere when this photo was taken!

The bigger dolls

And that was Christmas.

We didn't have a large tree this year due to the puppies and the fact they would have got up to too much mischief with all the decorations! 

I did daily Advent openings on my YouTube Channel and the playlists of both of those can be found below:

For Sale: Nancy Ann Storybook Dolls

I've decided to sell a lot of my doll collections. After the loss of our dear Percy in June, dolls just don't seem so important to me anymore. I'm starting with my Nancy Ann Storybook Collection dolls. I still need to add prices, but please feel free to make an offer as you can probably grab yourself a bargain as I just want them gone. I would prefer payment as F&F or Buyer pays fees, as I am willing to let them go for very good prices. You can contact me via my email address on the 'For Sale' page (I will be transferring these to that page) Please check back in the next few days for prices, or send me an offer :) I really will be very negotiable as they HAVE to go!
