Autumn Yeti...

Dziś spontaniczna sesja Tuli. :)
Coraz bardziej lubię tę lalkę, fajnie pozuje, mam na nią masę pomysłów, ale wkurza mnie robienie zdjęć. :)
Byłam na spacerze w parku, było bardzo ciepło, więc Tula w końcu się doczekała zdjęć. :) 
Yeti w jesień? Czemu nie? 
Bardzo pasują mi do niej ubrania nieformalne, nie widzę jej w jakiś sukniach czy eleganckich zestawach. :) 
Kończę dla niej szyć bluzę i koszulki. :) Mam nadzieję, że do skończenia całości uda mi się od kogoś wyżebrać lepszy aparat lub chociażby blendę! :)
Trzeba korzystać z pogody póki jest tak pięknie za zewnątrz! 
Piękny sweterek wydziergała balantyna.

Do zobaczenia już wkrótce. :)

Today spontaneous session of Tula. :)
I  like the doll more and more, cool poses, I have a lot of ideas for her, but it pisses me off to take pictures. :)
I was on a walk in the park, it was very warm, so Tula have her first pictures. :)
Yeti in the autumn? Why not?
I think a casual clothes very fit to her, I don't see her in some dresses and elegant sets. :)
I allmost finish for her to sew hoddie and few shirts. :) I hope that by the end all I can beg from someone better camera, or even blende! :)
You have to enjoy the weather while it is so beautiful as the outside!

Dolls Collectors Of The World 2.

Hej! 
Dziś wspaniała osoba, z którą mam dobry kontakt. 
Uwielbiam jego zdjęcia i blog! Zapraszam do czytania! :)

_____________________________

Hey! Today, a great person, with whom I have a good relationship. 
Lots of us know his blog: http://fashiondollchronicles.blogspot.gr/.
I love his photos and blog! 
I invite You to read, watch and mail me with your collection here:
marshalka@wp.p







1. Please, introduce yourself - name, place of origin / residence.

I am Stratos Bacalis, I come from Greece and live in Thessaloniki, its 2nd biggest city.

2. How long do you collect dolls?

I started in 2000, when I bought a Sandy (Grease) Olivia Newton-John doll from Franklin Mint.

3. Since when you did your passion?

I have always been fascinated with dolls, ever since I can remember myself. Fashion became a huge interest in senior high school and I managed to study fashion design and pattern making along with my university studies.

4. Favorite doll company - why exactly this?

I think most of my dolls are Integrity dolls, I love their style and they are within the price range I can still afford. I also love Syarites but their price range makes them unattainable for the time being.

5. Your doll No. 1. Has she always been the first one?

If I have to pick only one, which is very difficult, it would have to be my first one, my Olivia Newton-John as Sandy from Grease from Franklin Mint. In fact I own three of them!

6. Have you achieved everything in the collection? What are your plans for the future?

A collection is never finished! There will always be new exciting dolls waiting to become a part of it. I do have some plans for the future but they are still a bit secret so I cannot tell!

7. What do you like most about your hobby?

Photographing the dolls of my collection is my favourite part.

8. Do you sew, taking pictures, creating furniture?

I take pictures.

9. How many dolls are currently in your collection?

Around 200 I think, I have never counted them all.

10. Did you attend conferences / meetings / doll convents? If so, what do you like most about them?

No never, they usually take place in the US and so I cannot afford the expenses. I would need almost half my yearly salary to do it.

11. If you have a blog/ page etc how long are you writing?

I do have a blog, it started in March of 2007.








Thank you so much STRATOS for sharing your doll story with us! I love your blog and your pictures!

Dolls Collectors Of The World 1.

Hej!
Postanowiłam zrobić dla Was serię o lalkowych kolekcjonerach z całego świata! 
Zapraszam do czytania, oglądania i zgłaszania się ze swoją kolekcją na mój mail:
marshalka@wp.pl

______________

Hi!
I decided to do it for You a series of dolls collectors all over the world!
I invite You to read, watch and mail me with your collection here:
marshalka@wp.pl





1. Please, introduce yourself - name, place of origin / residence.

My name is Tina Turner although I am not the rock singer with the same name.  I am from the western USA in the state of Utah.  

2. How long do you collect dolls?

  I was seven years old when the first Barbie was introduced to the world but my parents never purchased one for me.  I bought my first at the age of thirteen and had to “play” dolls with the younger girls on my street.  I lost interest after a year or two and Mother gave my Barbie (a platinum short-haired American Girl) to the granddaughters.  In 1997 I saw a beautiful Barbie on HSN, a cable channel at the time, and bought her.  Her name was “Rose Barbie”.  Soon I became obsessed with buying these dolls.

3. Since when you did your passion?

 I have collected Barbies since 1997, at first through the classified ads in the magazine, Barbie Bazaar and later thru Ebay.

4. Favorite doll company - why exactly this?

No answer.

5. Your doll No. 1.  Has she always been the first one?

 Question 5 is difficult to interpret.  I don’t have a Number 1 Barbie, but I do have a favorite—Gold ‘n Glamour.  It took me many years to find one that was in perfect shape and that I could afford.

6. Have you achieved everything in the collection? What are your plans for the future?

  I have limited my collecting now to Vintage Barbies from the American Girl Era and previous Barbies.   I am still interested in several fashions but I like to find                                                                 complete outfits in wonderful condition.

7. What do you like most about your hobby?

 I enjoy being able to look at the dolls in my collection instead of storing them unseen in closets and boxes.  My husband is very supportive and helped me to set up display cabinets for this purpose.

8. Do you sew, taking pictures, creating furniture?

 I am a very good seamstress but the only doll fashion outfits I currently purchase are the original ones from the 1960’s.
9. How many dolls are currently in your collection?

I have about 175 Barbies, Kens, Midge, Allan, and Skippers.

10. Did you attend conferences / meetings / doll convents?  If so, what do you like most about them?

I have not taken the opportunity to attend a convention yet, but would love to do so!




Thank you so much Tina for sharing your doll story with us! 
You have really pretty collection!
