My local TRU's finally restocked with the new MH and EAH collections and what great timing too, because their having a bogo sale! I've been obsessing over Lorna for quite some time and I'm so glad to finally have her, she's so adorbs! I also ran into the Spring Unsprung girls and Briar was a instant favorite, although Cedar is up there too, and as for Coffin Bean Robecca, I found her at Walgreen's and she was a must. Something about this particular Robecca stands out a lot to me. It must be the bangs and outfit, I don't know, but she's so gorgeous for a basic doll.
I went out this morning to clean up some of the mess, restock my feeders and frankly, get muddy. I looked across my back wrought iron fence and in Fahrens Park there were pools of water with three Great Egrets wading. Got more muddy and wet, but had to get at least one good image for Rainey. I may never have to go to the NWR again! ; - ) Not a fabulous Egret image, but the fantastic thing is, it's right outside my backyard!!

The grocer who was restocking the fruit displays when I was choosing my pears probably thought I was severely obsessive compulsive. I examined each one carefully for shape, size, color, and bruises as well as the location of the tiny sticker with the UPC code - you can't get the darn things off without ripping off a piece of the flesh... And then I bought only one of each !
My husband assembled my new PVC pipe light box today based on a model we received from my flickr friend Mike Jones. You can see the frame below. It disassembles easily so I can store the parts in the closet when not in use. Total cost $27.07 - you won't find such an inexpensive option anywhere !

A contractor for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) began an extensive beach renourishment to restock a 5.5-mile stretch of beach northern Holmes Beach to the southern end of Coquina Beach at Longboat Pass in late June, 2020. The USACE awarded the project to Marinex Construction. The project will place approximately 1.1 million cubic yards of sand on the beach along this 5.5 consecutive miles of Anna Maria Island.
"This beach nourishment management program is very much like a roadway or other such infrastructure, as in once it is built, it must be maintained," said Charlie Hunsicker, Manatee County Parks and Natural Resources Director. "The work you see is maintenance that will help ensure continued presence of a sandy beach and storm protection for the upland, as well as provide important nesting habitat for endangered sea turtles and shorebirds."
The awarded project cost is $17.3 million. The federal cost share is $8 million. The State of Florida is contributing $4.6 million and the County is contributing $4.6 million in tourism tax revenues.
The sand will be delivered by barge from an offshore borrow area about 2,000 feet offshore of the north end of Anna Maria Island, near Passage Key. The sand is dredged from the offshore borrow areas by a hydraulic cutter suction dredge, then pumped through a pipeline to the beach as a water/sand slurry. The submerged pipeline comes ashore onto the beach at a designated landing location, and connects to the shore pipeline, which runs laterally along the dry beach. The sand slurry is discharged from the pipeline and bulldozers work the sand to fill the designed construction template.
The dredge is brought into safe harbor when swells are predicted to arrive from hurricanes in the Gulf of Mexico. As the seas calm down and the contractor determines the conditions to be safe, they return the dredge to the sand source and resume beach construction. Completion of this type of production certainly depends on the weather!

We bring some sold-out items back, there were Omega helmet, Colt helmet, Fives helmet , Deviss helmet and 212th trooper helmet(from left to right). Hope you like it.
This dolls will be restocked soon, so it is about time I do a review. This is the first NuFace doll in open edition (basic) doll series IT is doing. I really hope we will see a variant color Eden next year, as this Lilith is absolutely gorgeous!
Makeup & Hairstyle - This is only a fourth doll with this screening so far, Gretel Eden being the first, Hard Metal Lilith the second and Changing Winds Eden the third. In 15 years of NuFace line history that is not too much. For me, this is the first twin with this screening and I am mesmerized. She has beautiful eyes and eyebrows Screening is quite modern, having in mind how old it is. Eyeshadow colors are beautiful, you have to see her in hand to really appreciate it. Lovely soft peach below the eyes combined with fading light blue above them and delicate gold accents make her eyes look both natural and elegant at the same time. What makes her eyes screening special to me are small reflection dots in her eyes - four on each eye. Changing Winds Eden do not have that and IMO that makes her look totally different. I am not sure about those details in the center of her lips, but I can live with them. She has beautiful long, raven, not heavily rooted hair. 10/10
Outfit & Accessories - Other dolls from these series come with a swimsuit, but this Lilith comes in a yoga training outfit. As it often happens, I didn't like the outfit on promo photos, but in real life I actually like turquoise color. You can easily mix and match top and shorts with other items you have in your collection. Outfit does not have closures, so be careful when you put it on. She comes with a simple shoes with straps, very simple earrings and a ring. But, having in mind this doll is just below $100, I would say outfit and accessories are not that bad at all. 9.5/10
Overall: This doll is a must have for all FR and NuFace collectors, she is really beautiful, affordable and without any production issues that I noticed. 10/10
so TRU finally restocked yay, not only that they have moved everything around, and MH got another shelf yay so more stock, I picked up Catty I did see the Fright-mares they are tiny and a little overpriced I also saw Astra-Nova in person but waiting for the price to drop, didn't see Rochelle but hopefully soon, I went into Argos for new catalogue day but sadly no Ghoul Fair Heath I knew this would happen they only had 2 both Elissabat and I was so annoyed, I hope he's not hard to find I don't want this stress, and no FDC Clawdeen but I got Twyla the only one they had in stock so it's not a total loss, if I had the money I would have got Sasha, and they also had no Alistair, Faybelle, Darling or Rosabella, but one Bunny I pass for now but will get her later, it is first day so more stock should come in soon I guess.
Sunday actually turned out to be a pretty good flea market morning, even though the weather was quite chilly and dreary. Everything you see here came from the elderly couple we normally buy dolls from, except the Cabbie. They must have restocked their stash of dolls, since there were quite a few new faces on Sunday morning. I was especially excited to find two Descendants dolls in the pile. Most of my Descendants dolls have come from these sellers. They always make a point to buy the "weird" looking dolls since they know Colleen and I enjoy them. I'm guessing they find most of their stock at places like the Salvation Army, based on the price stickers we sometimes find on them. Anna and Elsa were both intriguing. Colleen vouched for them too, even though she usually passes over Disney dolls when looking at their booth. I was so excited when I identified them as being from the Birthday Party line. The 2002 Princess Party Disney collection was one of my absolute favorites growing up. It's so cool to see Frozen characters in a birthday theme too! Heidi was at the same booth, but in a different spot. I was actually consulting with the seller about some other dolls she had (she wondered if I knew anything about them), when Colleen spotted Heidi. Dad bought her Fern from this series at KB Toys years ago when we were kids. She played with Fern SO much...well actually she used her stuff all the time. I've always hoped we'd find more dolls in the series that were affordable. We've encountered others at antique stores for too much money. This Heidi was only $6...just what we wanted to pay.
As for the Cabbie, he was located at one of the last booths by the exit. I spotted him on a blanket, but was planning on walking by. Colleen always has to inspect EVERY Cabbage Patch doll thoroughly. She was intrigued by his overalls and newer styling (he's from 1987, so a little newer than most of our collection). When she found out he was only one dollar, she insisted we buy him. The seller told us he had a bunch of Cabbage Patch dolls the weekend before, when he was set up at a different flea market. Someone else bought them all...but he had somehow missed this little guy when setting up before. I'm glad Colleen talked me into getting Patrick, since it's so heartbreaking knowing he was split up from his family by mistake!

A continuation of the restock of Frozen merchandise online by the US Disney Store Frozen page that originally happened just after midnight on Wednesday, October 1, 2014. Either this morning (Saturday October 4, 2014) or yesterday morning, the Arendelle Castle came back again, and the mini doll set with all 4 main human characters is back after a long absence.
The Arendelle Castle Playset is back. Also the Frozen mini doll set, with Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Hans, is back. Classic, singing and Animators' Anna and Elsa dolls are also available.
Another midday restock of Frozen merchandise, including toys, on the US Disney Store website. It was at about 11 am PST on Wednesday June 4, 2014. It was also announced on the Disney Store's Facebook page.
As of 6:30 PM PST, the only only toys still available are the Olaf figure, the Frozen Figure Play Set, and the Disney Infinity Frozen Toy Box Pack.
The filter to show only Frozen Toys wasn't working properly, so I took the entire Frozen merchandise listing and cut out the sections that contained toys.
When I went to my local Disney Store on Monday, June 2, 2014, they had just received a supply of Elsa singing dolls. They had about a dozen of them left when I visited at noon. The CM there said that they expect more Frozen items to start coming in soon.
Its hump day, though when retired every day is hump day, I guess.
And at eight, Jools was off for Qigong class, which she has been doing for several months now. Which left me home with the cats and a fresh cup of coffee.
I messed around online, then sat outside with Scully after filling up the feeders, watching the butterflies, bees and wasps buzzing round, generally collecting pollen and nectar.
The rewilding, and planting more insect friendly plants has been a huge success.
Unbeknown to me, Jools then went to the beach for a swim, and was sidetracked by a Spanish galleon arriving into port, with tugs spraying water as a form of welcome and celebration.
The plan had been to go to Biddenden to the cider place, to restock further for Jools. I called Jools, she had not been swimming yet, but was coming straight home.
Camera battery charged, car packed. We set off, Jools crocheting as we went, up the A20 to Folkestone, then on the motorway to Ashford, where I took the wrong exit, so we had to take ten miles of back lanes to get onto the A28. That's what the sat nav told me.
Through High Halden and keeping going, before turning north west towards Tunbridge Wells.
Kent is much larger than it appears, and it can take over ninety minutes driving from Dover to leave the county, depending on which direction you go.
Anyway, turned off the main road, turned off that onto Gribble Bridge Lane and into the cider farm.
We bought cider, of course, some beer, cheese and crackers, and a bottle of apple juice for the journey.
A short drive into the village was the church. Which is always open. Except this day. Open for coffee Tuesdays and Thursdays, apparently.
We walked back to the car.
Next off, something that becoming harder to say: a new Kent church.
To get there we would have to drive through Goudhurst, the highest point in Kent, and hope of ancient road that is not wide enough for two modern cars to pass, in places.
Lots of nice places to shop and eat and drink there, but we must press on.
We crawl through the village, which looked very different in the bright summer sunshine, rather than the heavy winter cloud and halflight as it was when I last called at Goudhurst.
Down the hill onto the Weald, and finally onto the Hastings road, before turning off into Lamberhurst.
Down church Lane, past huge houses and mansions to the end of the road which terminates in a sort of car park.
I get the camera, not really believing the church would be open. Up the narrow path between hedges, into the churchyard and round to the porch, where ancient doors said the church was open, turn the brass handle. Hard.
The door swung open, and once through the inner glass door, the church revealed itself.
Its a fine mix of ancient and Victorian, with memorials, hatchings and quite the largest Queen Anne coat of arms I have ever seen.
I got the large lens out to record the Victorian windows and other details.
Back outside in the bright sunshine, and an amble back to the car. We set sail for home.
Soon we came a small service area, so we stopped for sausage rolls and a Cornish pasty. Which we washed down with the apple juice from Biddenden.
Onwards towards our last stop, Matfield, which was part of the Lamberhurst benefice. And the mother church being open, I hoped this former Chapel of Ease would be too.
We found the church, I parked and walked through the neat churchyard to find the door from the porch locked. I tried it again to be sure, shrugged and walked back to the car for the long drive back home.
The sat nav took us the same way back, though traffic through Goudhurst was easier late in the afternoon and then through Biddenden to Ashford, onto the motorway and back home.
The feline welcoming committee was there, so the cats got fed and we made a brew before I prepared Caprese for dinner.
The evening slipped by, all the slower for there being no football.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Built between 1874-76 as a chapel-of-ease to All Saints, Brenchley, Matfield's beautiful little sandstone church was designed by architect Basil Champneys and cost £2,000 to build. It consists of a nave and chancel with a narrow three bay south aisle. The moulding of the arches replicates the Early English style of the 13th century. He was commissioned by his uncle, Francis Storr. He was the Vicar of Brenchley who installed his son, Charles, to be the first Vicar of the new church. Rev. Charles Storr (died 1922) and his wife Katherine (died 1900) are commemorated with a pair of unusual memorial tablets on the north wall. The church is dedicated to St. Luke, and a small statue of the patron saint has been built into a niche in the north wall of the chancel. By using local sandstone Champneys created this church in a similar style to the medieval churches of the Weald of Kent. The design also foreshadows the Arts and Crafts movement that began ten years later. Entered through a stylish half-timbered entrance porch it very much resembles a church of the 1890s/early 1900s. Inside, there is a line of central piers supporting a tiny south aisle. The tracery around the windows is reminiscent perhaps of the Decorated period of medieval architecture. In front of the west window and enclosing the font are the wooden columns that support the belfry. Hanging down from the ceiling is a beautiful piece of glass sculpture designed in 1991 by local artist Jenny Clark of Horsmonden. The east window, depicting the Nativity was manufactured Kempe and installed in 1893. Two other stained-glass windows were made by Kempe, including the north chancel window depicting the Annunciation, added in 1904. This window has a flamboyant tracery pattern which is really quite unusual. Kempe & Co. also made the window featuring St. Luke and St. John, installed in 1923, while the window depicting St. George and St. Louis, was made by Powell & Sons in 1916. The dado panelling in the nave and the open backed benches are late Victorian, while the altar and panelled wooden reredos dates from 1926-27 and was given to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the church. The organ, manufactured by F.H. Brown of Deal, was installed in 1892. St. Luke's is a tidy and well-cared for Victorian church, quite unlike many of its contemporaries. In 1965 a sympathetic extension was joined onto the south-east to house the choir vestry. The church is regularly found open.
My TinyLiving etsy store has finally been restocked. Thank you to everyone for all your lovely comments on my previous photos. It's been a pleasure making more of these fashions :D
