Moja pierwsza MH - Lagoona oraz kilka kreacji z przeszłości, z których jestem szczególnie dumna.

 

 

Little things

Sometimes, it's little things that matter in life, like a big mug of tea on the terrace after a day of hard work.


Well, probably as many doll collectors, I 've got that thing about small things like pieces of doll-scale furniture, vessels, etc.  I guess these will be the best souvenir for me. :)

The nicest mug from Cyprus I could find. I've seen many different colours and dozens of little plates.

My favourite mug from Crete. It comes with a little plate. There was also a porcelain spoon but it was out of scale so I didn't buy it. It has a little magnet.

All we've managed to collect till now.

On the Island of Gods

I enjoy my stay here more and more, the time passes so fast, and it's nearly the time to move on. I have my small pleasures: long walks along the seashore or up in the hills, watching animals and listening to cicadas, or in the crowd in the old city. I love to try new foods, especially exotic fruit and sweets.

I kind of regret bringing along so many dolls. I didn't even have time to take them out of the box, poor things, but for a short glance. Only Lagoona takes her rightful place at the side of my bed, despite any comments. I made only one new dress for her and took her for one solitary walk.

My slimy Thumbelina :)

The dress she is wearing is not the latest one. Actually, it's the first dress I made for Lagoona.

Hey, I'm a water creature, this sun does me no good!

Get me outta here this instant! There are spikes here!

Thank you. I like it better here.

The other reason I regret bringing so many dolls is that during my walks in the city I found a really nice toy shop, particularly one with quite many collectible dolls and some really nice playlines. They have loads of Monster High, Paola Reigna and Stardolls. Finally, I could in person asses the latter, since from the photos I could not make out, whether I want them or not. Well, now I know, I definitely do. It cost me 20 euros and three rounds around the Old Town, struggling with thoughts, if I could spend that money, but I have the Fallen Angel. It's going to be a pain looking for a body for her, but who cares... And another pain to fit her into my overloaded luggage. ;)

Mediterranean me

I've been silent for a while. The reason is here - I've moved to that dot on the map below (hope its working).

Pokaż Rethymno, Greece na większej mapie

From my point of view it looks more like this:

 

I'm going to stay here for about a month and then move on to another, preferably equally interesting, dot.

 

 Of course, I have some of my girls with me and I hope to be able to introduce them to you, but my company here is not really doll-friendly (and that's just one of their flaws...) 

I couldn't decide to take just one, though. Packing up one's life into a never-big-enough suitcase is one of the hardest tasks ever... I've packed some dolls, than unpacked them, packed yet another set, chosen some clothes for them, then had to reduce the amount by half... In the end, I've left behind the MZ Flaunt It girl. And lucky I did, because my luggage was grams from overwieght.

Meet Lagoona

This is Lagoona Blue. Although Frankie came first to live with me, Lagoona is number 1 from the start for many reasons. She was simply a little harder to get. I will probably come back to all the reasons of her supremacy, for now, lets say, we instatnly made friends, so I decided, that she'll accompany me in my first trip to Crete.

She proved to be a good, however demanding companion. She brought her original clothes, but she quickly demanded a dress suitable for the warm mediterranean spring. I didn't have time for sewing before we left, so she made me take all supplies with me. Lucky I didn't need much clothes for me this time.
I actually made her two dresses, but she refused to change on the beach.
