Vintage Sindy Carboot sale bargains!

Vintage Sindy Carboot sale bargains!, originally uploaded by NaughtyPixie / Forest_Blythe.

Had an amazing day at the car boot sale today.
I have started a dolls house so I am anxious to start filling it, ideally with vintage Sindy.

So, what was the first thing I found at the carboot sale?
A box of vintage Sindy furniture for £3!!

I've been looking at this bureau on Ebay, now if I could just find the dressing table, room divider, clothes rail and kitchen dresser.

I also got this lonely Sindy doll for 50p but don't tell my husband, I don't need another collection lol. Check out my Flickr to see my other bargains and some piccies of my Dolls house in progress.
I'm going to make a blog post about it soon.

Happy Carbooting!

Finally finished! And a car boot find :D

I have finally finished that blasted "Ornithology" collection I started months ago.

I had planned to list them all at once but I was so SLOW I've sold half of them already.

With Blythecon UK approaching and the need for stall stock, not to mention the fact that I had started and just about finished another collection entirely, I thought it was about time I finished.

So, 27 dresses later (27!! what was I thinking?) here it is! I was so inspired and proud of this collection when I started and one or two of them I think work really well. The next collection "Stitched by Pixies" is only 18 dresses and much more varied design wise so it's kept me inspired and interested all the way through. Incidentally, lol that collection was finished at the same time lol. A lot of these are sold already but the rest will be at Blythecon UK and the remainder will be back on Etsy, possibly in a sale.

CAR BOOT FIND!

I picked up this cute little locker for 50p on saturday. I didn't even pause to think if I wanted it or not at that price. It's real metal but none of my girls are into pink (yet).

I thought someone in the community might like it or perhaps I could paint it.

BUT! I decided it would make a PERFECT toy cupboard :D

One day I want a dolls house, I've been getting inspired looking through Flickr and browsing ebay for Sindy houses. One day.

My dream girls.

My Blythe itch seems to take about 2 or 3 months to resurface after adding a new doll to the family.
The addition of these dolls would make my perfect Blythe family, not too big not too small.

In no particular order:


#1} is a Raven haired Kenner (of course, I'm sure every Blythe fan's dream). She would be my Wednesday Addams girl and occasional mini me :D


#2} ADG Pleasant Peasant. I would love a blonde girl, to dress up girly, wear pink and bake cupcakes. I'd go for ADG to complete the collection, I have a CCE so thought it would be interesting.


#3} Dear Lele Girl. I just love her to bits! She is so beautiful, I love her stock, she'd fit in well with Forest and Mervin and I just love her crafty story and aesthetic.


#4} Gentle River. AAAAAAARG! She is just too beautiful for words. Before I even owned a Blythe I wanted her. I love that she is a beauty competition winner, designed by fans :D Everything about her is perfect, her face, hair, stock, box, story, name, just everything.

Thankfully no new Blythes are tickling my fancy, just for fun I would add Precocious Candy's Mush Room to the list as I love her hair, box, story and outfit. But Pixie is enough red head for now lol.

I finished customising the Barbie carry case I bought for 50p a while ago. I bought some Plasticote clear sealant to finish the red spray paint with. What a waste of time, I promptly scratched it. I'm sure it was sturdy enough before the sealant.

I love the "I play with dolls" decal though, I want to stick them on everything :D

I plan on making a liner for it, like a sleeping bag to protect the dolls, it fits 3 :D I'd also like to make little drawers to put in the storage compartments so that all the stuff doesn't fall out when you open it. But for now it looks good from the outside :D

Pixie is posing for size comparison.

Today is my Birthday :D so I am off to indulge myself in some dolly dressmaking.

Last week's car boot bargains.

Vintage Sindy boots from the sale next door for 50p a pair.
I was so pleased to find them and was rummaging round the tub trying to find a nice clean pair of white ones that I didn't notice that I had got an odd pair lol. The boot on the left is larger lol.
I left one boot in the tub, boo.

I had a great day at the car boot sales on Sunday. I went to two and I'm so pleased as I nearly didn't go to the second one :D


I got the Pedigree Sindy Greenhouse and a couple of accessories from the Funtime Sindy Country Garden set! I am soo pleased with this as I stumbled accross it on Ebay one day when looking for Blythe things and totally fell in love with it for NaughtyPixie, she loves gardening :D





It still has the pond/rockery and a watering can. I haggled with the lady to get the dresser thrown in free as it was the last of my money and late in the day. It also came with two plastic play mat things and some cardboard garden back drops but they don't appear to be from the same set.

Still haven't taken piccies of the vintage sindy boots I got at last weeks carboot sales!

Today's car boot finds

Stuff for the girls, originally uploaded by Gypsywildflower and NaughtyPixie.

I am mad on car boot sales.
I collect just about every toy from the 80's and go mad at car boot sales.
My house is next door to a car boot sale (that is one reason we bought it, that and walking distance from a pub lol.)
I even joke that we bought the house at a carboot sale because we saw the sale bought after being at that car boot.

So £1.35 later and this is what I came home with today for my girls :D Take a look at my flickr for the 80's toy goodness I found.

Last week I got a bath and a side table thing for them (also see Flickr). I am really looking for a house now, I still cringe when I think of the vintage Sindy one for £5 that I turned down last year :*( because of Space. If only I had Blythe then.

Today's shop updated.
