Today’s Friday girl is a rerun. As you can see Ballerina Barbie now has a new tutu and ballet shoes and I have tidied up her hair. She’s very happy about that as you can imagine. She will be even happier when she gets her stand back but there is just no room for it on the Barbie shelf right now.

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. Oh my, what a delicate face, love her tiny nose. Have never seen this face before, it’s in between the vintage and contemporary styles. The silvery ballet costume is lovely too. Makes me think of figure skating costumes which I’m admiring while watching the winter Olympics in Korea.

  2. BTW my one and only ballet doll is Dancing Princess Blair. She was a “holy grail” doll and I love her Lea face and coloring, but not her arms.
