Sindy!

Last week I won my first vintage Sindy on ebay for a reet bargain price. Having identified her, I would say she is more 'retro' but she is very sweet and I can't wait to give her a makeover!

At first I thought she might be pop star Sindy from 1985 (I'm still not sure if this is an actual doll or an outfit set!) but from the way her hair is rooted and her overall look I think she is most likely Sunshine Sindy.

I originally intended to re-root her in a natural hair colour. Maybe a nice chocolate brown or a subtle red. After holding up several of my Blythe dolls next to her face I was surprised to find I much preferred her with a fantasy colour. I'm not going to say anymore until the hair arrives but it is going to be quite the transformation!

Hopefully I don't become totally obsessed with these dolls but you can pick up some great bargains, they make a fun project and lastly, they are so cute!

I was going to do a different post today but having seen a link from ericahduh's twitter feed to the final design pics of Raspberry Sorbet I knew I had to post about this beautiful new Blythe!

I was all up for ignoring her release but now it might be a little harder to pass her by. Her stock is some of the best in a long time, in my opinion and could be very versatile.  Her little pink coat and her beret are my favourite pieces and look great with her special brown chips. Dolls with fringes do appeal to me a lot and when you add blushy cheeks it just melts my heart. You can read her official description here.


All in all, I'll probs hold back because I think I'd be tempted to re-root her to a more fantasy colour (my poor Very Vicky is awaiting this fate at the moment) and FBL's are more interesting to me at the moment. I'm sure she'd be a great addition to any collection especially for the cute box. It's one of my favourites with the cute illustrations and layout (below) which really shows off the doll and her stock.


Good times at CWC!
