Sisters Across the Sea


Regular reader Laurel sent me this photo of a doll she has and remarked on the similarity to Naomi’s Amy Jayne.
Laurel’s doll has a sticker that says Maomi which may be the name either of the doll or the doll artist. The sticker on her shoe also says “Brinn’s” which could be the company that made her or could be a store perhaps.

Anyway you can certainly see a resemblance.

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. I am going to look at Amy Jayne this afternoon when I get home from work to see if she is related. How interesting.

  2. don’t know but it would be interesting, the shoes I’m afraid may be a false lead after spending hours searching on anything brinn, I did find an other doll my friend had given me to fix the body..wondering if the shoes were switched like people switch heads on Barbies..maddening..might be like anything else when I quit looking will find..plus her dress is a little big for her so she may even be redressed. Even if she is always a Jane Doe mystery I will call her Jane. I love my mystery kids, and tend to keep them longer anyway.
