HAPPY NEW YEAR! (and a few more dolls)


HAPPY NEW YEAR
TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND FOLLOWERS!

LESOTHO

First I would like to thank you all so much for your support during the last year.  Thank you too, to all of you who have sent me lovely comments about my website.  I appreciate it very much!  I hope you will enjoy seeing more of my Posts, here on my blog.

I have had a very busy year this year (as I am sure you all have, too!)  I have had two beautiful family weddings, and I was very fortunate to have a wonderful holiday in Tibet and China. I was able to buy a lovely pair of hand made dolls in Tibet, which are now on my website.

I am also very lucky to be living in a lovely part of the world where I can go walking, seeing the most stunning Welsh countryside, and of course, seeing all the animals on my walks, which is an extra bonus!

I hope you have all had a good year too, and that you have been able to find more beautiful dolls for your collection.

Here are a few more dolls for you to see.  They are from The Philippines, Greece and Lesotho.
As always, you can see more pictures, and more information about the dolls, on my website, (www.worldcostumedolls.com).  Just click on the "INVENTORY" Tab on the HOME PAGE and put the code number of the doll in the box, and it will bring up the doll.  If you just put in the name of the country, it will bring up all the dolls in that country.

DOLLS FROM JAPAN,UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, and INDONESIA (Java)

Today I am listing dolls from JAPAN,  UNITED ARAB EMIRATES and INDONESIA (Java).

I would also like to show you two hats which I purchased in Tibet last September.  They are one male and one female, and I assume the only difference between them is the background colour.  The male hat is the black one, and the female hat is more colourful.

As always, you can see more photos, and more information about the dolls on my website.  Just go to my website (www.worldcostumedolls.com) and click onto the Itinerary tab across the top of the HOME Page.  Put the Code number into the search box, and they will come up.
(If you just put in the name of the country, it will bring up all the dolls in that country).
