Cyprus again

 I've been traveling for work recently. It got somewhat complicated nowadays. My little companion doll didn't even leave the hotel. We had only a few minutes between meetings and managing a toddler (yay for working moms!), but I had to document a successful travel in Covid-19 times.

Podróżowałam ostatnio w celach zawodowych. Zrobiło się to nieco skomplikowane. Moja mała lalkowa towarzyszka nie opuściła nawet hotelu.Miałyśmy zaledwie kilka minut pomiędzy spotkaniami a ogarnianiem przedszkolaka (hip hip dla pracujących mam!), ale musiałam udokumentować tę udaną podróż w czasach Covid-19.

My stay in Cyprus is coming to an end. In two weeks I'll be home. I wonder if my collection will be like a new discovery to me. Because, as I now think of it, I realize that I have dozens of fabulous dolls. And of how many have I forgotten?

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.

Accidents happen

For the first time since I came to Cyprus I decided to go public with dolls. We went to an aquarium near Agia Napa. There is a garden there, so I pulled out Lagoona and tried to take some photos. It was noon, rather warm, and the contrast of sunlight and shade made it very difficult to take any decent photos. Actually, I made one. My company was growing impatient, so I grabbed Lagoona and while tucking her into a bag, noticed that she'd lost a fin. Went back looking for it and, hurray, found it in the sand! I happily put it into the bag with Lagoona and hurried away. But at home I couldn't find it! And it's gone for good. :(

Last moments of Lagoona being complete.

She doesn't seem to despair, so neither will I.

She snatched boots from the Fallen Angel Stardoll

 Or, I've moved again and landed in... the middle of nowhere, as it seems at the moment. I hope to find my way around here soon.

 

What can one do at night in a hermitage like this, but to howl to the moon?
