I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  1. What a great way to share your collection and hobby! You have been soinfluential to me, fortunately many of the same dolls and clothing are still obtainable from ebay. I have gotten Fashionista Raquelle (a favorite for her facial expression and abillity to pose) and two of the Basics dolls. Recently I acquired some new items never featured on your site: a teal colored fashion fever clothing pack and Modern Circles Ken 😀

    • Glad you enjoy it. My sister has a Modern Circles Ken. One day I may ask her if I can feature some of her dolls as she mostly collects male dolls. There are many Fashion Fever outfits that I was never able to buy because they were not sold near me and I truly could not afford to buy everything they relieased at the time but every now and again I come across a set on eBay at a good price. Fashion Fever was fantastic. I still have a few sets I have to photograph for the blog too.
