Treasure Hunt. Bij verschillende strandopgangen in Den Haag vind je panelen met diverse voorwerpen die op het strand gezocht en gevonden zijn. Deze panelen zijn redelijk groot en hebben twee ronde gaten waar volwassenen en kinderen hun hoofd kunnen steken om dan een mooie foto (selfie) te maken.
Een mooie herinnering voor later van een fijn strandbezoek.
Ik weet niet of dit een Haags idee is of dat dit in meerdere badplaatsen te zien is.
We have visited Edinburgh many times but had never visited Calton Hill. It was a beautiful morning and the view from the hill is stupendous but hidden from this viewpoint. This is 7 photos stitched together in Lightroom. Fife can be seen across the Firth of Forth.

These steel storage towers caught my eye when we stopped at a petrol station in rural Castilla La Mancha
BCC Treasure Hunt Theme 44 (November) Flickr Colours (Blue and Pink) Photographers love Flickr so why would we choose anything else from a packet of Bassett's Liquorice Allsorts.
Having not been out on our bikes for 12 days, we decided to brave the South Downs again. Heading on tracks further from the car parks (which shouldn't be being used, but are), and only met a couple of walkers, although there were a few other bikes around.
I call this track the Rollercoaster. It runs from Canada Barn near North Stoke (the Canadians were camping here in 1944 prior to D Day) to Wepham Down. You can see the way we should have come stretching to the trees in the distance. Sadly, we made the same mistake that we did several years ago on the same ride, and ended up down on Peppering Lane. An extra climb later, we were back on track behind the first hill Dave has just come up.
It was a beautiful sunny day, but there was a biting North-easterly wind on the climbs!
I hope you will agree with me that these are Leading Lines, implied perhaps, but still leading you over the rises...
Treasure Hunt 42: Leading Lines
After a lovely day wandering around Whitby and the Abbey, we went back up to the Abbey as the sun was about to set. I felt happy to pop my drone up, keeping away from the Abbey grounds.
Few Drone options this month due to hign winds and rain.

I was looking for something else in T K Maxx and spotted these shocking pink shoes. At £5 I couldn’t resist them to replace my recently deceased mules :-)) Sorry Nick, still not your size ;-) For Treasure Hunt 47.
Another lunchtime walk presented this exteremely funky fence plank. I loved the rippled textures which were brought to the fore by a little bit of sun.

In March of 2023, my sister and I were given a HUGE haul of 166 dolls. Since so many of the dollies were in great condition, I decided not to film a transformation video featuring all of them. So we made this haul video so you could still see them all.
***I made a few mistakes in the video--we got Sun Sensation Ken (not Hawaiian Fun). One of the Disney Store Jasmine dolls is actually a 2015 JC Penney Wardrobe Set doll.

Secondhand shopping can be very hit or miss. Sometimes people have very unrealistic expectations--like you'll get lucky and find boatloads of awesome stuff every time you go shopping. In the past few weeks, we didn't have much luck at the flea market. One weekend got rained out, the next Sunday was BEAUTIFUL...but we came home without a single thing in hand (literally, there was nothing despite how packed the flea market was). The weekend after that, Colleen found just two dolls. This Sunday seemed like it would be another bust. As we were wandering down one of the aisles, I spotted a large container on the ground. I seriously think I have doll "spidey" senses, because somehow I knew there was good stuff in the container. Sure enough, there was a cluster of dolls and some random furniture. Initially, I didn't think we'd buy the lot despite the fact that Colleen was intrigued by Dance Club Devon and I was fixated on Jewel Secrets Whitney. The seller wanted $20 for the group, which seemed a little steep. There were tons of random body parts, practically no clothes, and a few newer dolls/furniture pieces mixed in the bunch. So we walked away to mull it over, figuring we'd return if there was nothing else to buy. Secretly, I had this feeling we'd come home with this lot. I felt terrible about the number of decapitated dolls. Surely they would get thrown out if someone didn't eventually buy them. Plus, how many people could properly fix some of these dolls when there were missing neck articulations, broken necks, and scary looking heads with matted hair?!! Sometimes, Colleen and I will adopt "special needs" dolls because we know if we don't, they will end up in a landfill somewhere. These dolls especially pulled at my heart strings since the 80s is my favorite decade of Barbie.
Sunday was a great day for this sort of lot to turn up, because there wasn't anything else of interest to purchase. When we doubled back, the seller bartered with us and knocked off two dollars from the lot. Of course, he wanted to keep the green container the dolls were in. That's why we always take a stash of reusable shopping bags with us whenever we go. Seriously, men ALWAYS are more interested in their valuable plastic containers than the dolls inside them (I've literally saved $5 off lots before by letting the seller keep the container the dolls were in).
The seller gave us a little back story on these dolls, which is a rare treat when you purchase secondhand items. Apparently, he and his wife tried selling them at a yard sale a few years ago (I'm guessing that the 80s Barbies were probably from their children growing up). The reason there were practically no clothes on the dolls was because a little girl with special needs undressed them all at the yard sale. His wife let her have all the clothes for just $3. Apparently, the little girl was fascinated by the clothes, but not with the dolls. I don't blame her, because dolls from this era can look intimidating if you didn't grow up with them. As a kid from the 90s, I was always a little shocked by secondhand 80s Barbies we got growing up (although I did warm up to them obviously). Although it's disappointing that the dolls were mostly naked, I'm glad that their outfits made someone else so happy.
We did get some really awesome furniture pieces. We even saved a few random odds and ends (like the store racks) that were made for other toys. They'd be handy for photos! Colleen and I dubbed this group the "Rolling Heads Lot." Normally I'd have denoted it by our favorite doll (like Jewel Secrets Whitney or Dance Club Devon). But the decapitation was so rampant with this group, that it makes this lot memorable. I should also note that two of the bodies were just as they are--no heads at ALL! The Skipper body had a head with a pixie cut. It turns out Tropical Barbie also had a mangled haircut, so she couldn't be saved. Luckily I have oodles of her already, and this body will go to use (bodies are like gold). At first I thought poor Rocker Derek didn't have a head...it was buried at the bottom of the container.
Everyone else is already doing much better, even though I'm currently not done their makeovers (I'm presently at the dressing, hair styling, and head reattaching phase....plus Diva needs another zillion boil washes).

After a stunning morning at RSPB reserve at Titchwell we went to a very wet and muddy Thornham Harbour. No doubt this old boat by the coal barn has been photographed many times, but I do love a bit of decay and rust. Treasure Hunt, wreck.
For the treasure hunt. The mermaid at the Students' guild at the University of Birmingham and behind her is an aerial. Any extra points for the Chinese lanterns?
The woman with the hoards of Kelly dolls returned on Sunday! Of course I made sure to have extra cash with me so I wouldn't have to go to the ATM in case she was there. We perused the rest of the flea market before purchasing any Kelly dolls though...on the off chance something better was there. I found Happy Family Midge first, in a small basket with some other Barbies. I recognized her straight away as the Caucasian Happy Birthday doll. I had the African American one growing up (actually, all my Happy Family dolls were the AA variants). I always regretted passing this doll up when I first encountered her years before at the same flea market. I wasn't going to miss out on her a second time. This gal cost $3, but had a spare dress stuck to the inside of the clone gown she was wearing. In the last aisle of the flea market, I spotted a boxed Britney Spears doll on a table. I was nervous about inquiring the price of her. Last year a man had oodles of Britney dolls but he wanted $80 for some of them...way too much money for me! This wonderful Britney was easily the best deal of what we found...she too was just $3. I was excited that she came with a spare outfit, since I have some other Britney dolls who don't have proper attire.
After procuring Midge and Britney, we double backed to the Kelly woman's booth. I picked out another ten dolls...why not when they were five dolls for $20?!!! It was still overwhelming as there were SO many choices. Some I was already planning to get because I was torn over them the Sunday before. Colleen picked a few of her favorites too, like Genie Jenny, Jester Jenny, the Cute as a Bunny dolls, and Cowboy Tommy. The rest I vouched for. The only doll I technically already had was Pumpkin Deidre. The Jenny sold in the same costume was also present...but I had her too already! In the end, I really wanted the cute outfit, so I chose Deidre (because she is a hair cuter than the adorable Jenny). My favorite is probably Pumpkin Kerstie...she has AWESOME hair!!! How did I not notice the orange and yellow streaks in it before?!!! But I also am immensely fond of Tiger Melody...she might not be remotely versatile because of her cat face paint, but she is such a sweetie pie.

Sunday was yet another prosperous day of flea market shopping! I think our luck might finally be turning around. Until last weekend, we were coming home entirely empty handed almost all the time (and with gas prices that really sucked). Anyways, there were THREE American Girl sellers this week. The same girl we bought things from last Sunday returned. I smartly decided we should walk around the entire flea market before double checking her wares. My reasoning was that I only carry a small amount of cash with me, and I didn't want to blow it all right away on scrappy clothes we picked through last week. I first found this amazing Asha doll boxed, for just $5! Oddly, the same seller wanted $5 for some of his loose, raggedy dolls (that's why I didn't buy any of those). I have the first edition doll from this same collection, who I found a few years ago (also boxed!). Asha's hair was a beast, but luckily it was easy to sort out.
The second booth we came across that was of interest had Molly's Velvet Theater Seats. Colleen and I have looked into buying these online in the past. They actually can be quite affordable to get on eBay/Mercari, but we hoped to get them for super cheap. The seller was eager to unload these seats, so she discounted them to $10 right away (I guess originally she wanted $20). I'm so happy for Colleen...it's not all that often that she finds something for Molly she doesn't already have! This seller had other American Girl goodies too, but her prices were a bit higher (not unreasonable, but like I said, I had limited funds to spend). On the last leg of the flea market, there was yet ANOTHER seller with AG items. She actually had been given the doll stuff by a friend, and didn't even want to be selling it. Her items were fairly cheap. I got all the outfit pieces you see here for $10. I was excited by the Girl of the Year garments...there were others too (like Lanie and Jess clothes I already owned). She is supposed to return in two weeks, so I'm hoping to pick through her booth again. I made the mistake of grabbing the wrong bottoms to Kanani's Beach Outfit...I'd like to see if the seller has the right ones. This stuff was in impeccable condition too...it looked like it was barely played with! This little girl had quite the cool collection (there were larger things at the booth too, like Kanani's Shave Ice Stand).

This video includes two very special dollies my sister and I received for Christmas from a family member, as well as a few Salvation Army rescues who were in desperate need of a new home and some love! Colleen and I would like to thank our family member for these beautiful dollies--we love and appreciate them with all our hearts!
Video:
We weren't planning on popping into the local Salvation Army today. But we decided to when we were on the way to visit our aunt. Lately, the toy section has been barren, as our store has been doing some rearranging. Ironically, today I told Colleen that we weren't going to find anything...and then we struck gold! I am a sucker for Disney dolls, and I just couldn't resist this Anna when I spotted her donning this coronation dress. A moment later, her Kristoff counterpart turned up too...we just couldn't separate the couple now could we? The boxed dolls were just $5.99 each, which was a bargain considering they are collector dollies. I of course wanted Reba, since I specifically love any kind of celebrity doll (despite not being a celebrity person). I was also intrigued by this Western Chic Barbie...in a strange way, she reminds both of us of our childhood Santa's Helper doll (it's the eyes). The pair seem to be impeccable quality too! As for the Monster High dolls, they were of course my favorite score. Perri and Pearl were a duo that we had hoped to get sooner than later--we had to pass an overpriced set of them at the flea market a few years ago, but I always debated whether or not I made the right choice. For a dollar per doll though, how could you go wrong? Clawdeen goes with my "Emoji" Lagoona, who I rescued from the same store a few months ago. It looks as though she's never been played with. Viperine caught my eye when I saw her bedraggled body on the shelf in a cluster of other dolls. I've been wanting her for a while as well. Sadly, someone gave her a bob hairdo, but it's salvageable. The best part is, none of these dolls need limbs, and they all have their original ensembles. I'm so excited to clean these ladies up and to add a few new interesting faces to my collection:

Another in my occasional series of exploring curves. By coincidence the curves could read 99 to match the day number.(I do have a vivid imagination)
Holy crap, I cannot believe the luck Colleen and I have finally struck! Our good luck seems to run in streaks--we'll go a few weeks without finding much of anything, and then all of a sudden, we'll hit several bins in a row! If you don't know already, hoarding lots of dolls is our very favorite thing. It's so much fun making over someone else's entire collection, and piecing all the dolls back together. This was not only a massive haul of dolls, but also the cheapest group we've ever purchased (except of course "Free Friday Finds"). Believe it or not, we got 73 dolls for only $5, with oodles of clothes and accessories (plus some playsets). Apparently, the sellers were trying to raise money to enter a competition, and wanted to sell stuff at a really cheap price, to ensure they could raise enough money. When I spotted the lot on Sunday, I was intrigued as it was a very deep container, that was overflowing with dolls. Quite literally, the dolls were about three inches above the rim of the container. I thought that there would be a lot of filler stuff, like kids clothes and other junk. Of course there was, but I had no idea that there were 73 DOLLS in this haul. Then, five minutes later, we spotted a small broken cardboard box on the ground, loaded with a few dolls and tons of clothes. We always are looking to add more clothes to our collection. This lot also coincidentally cost $5 (the dolls it contained were quite a bit older and junkier). So for $10, we got almost 80 dolls and a container stuffed with clothes, plus lots of plastic stuff. The container in this picture is filled with all the clothes we got on Sunday--they were cleaned already by the time this picture was taken, thus why they are quarantined separately. There was a miscommunication between Colleen and I--when I asked her to get some containers to sort the stuff into, she thought I meant soak it all...so that's why we had to wait to film the rest of the video and take this picture (the clothes needed to dry which took forever). Anyways, we additionally found a Harry Potter figurine--Colleen has been collecting these since 2002, and rarely stumbles upon one she doesn't already have. I found Alice and Wendy still boxed in the last aisle of the flea market. There were other dolls that were tempting, but I didn't want to spend a ton of money. I'm so excited about making over my new, stinky friends. They REALLY reek of filth and I also detect a faint nicotine odor. Stay tuned for a transformation video of these dolls if you are interested

My sister and I never anticipated that we'd come home with another massive lot of dolls this year! As it was, we already had scored several lots of Barbie dolls (two of them happened to be from this same seller). But for $15, we couldn't say know to a bunch of mangy Barbies who were in need of a home. We already had most of the dolls from this lot, but there were a few who I had REALLY been wanting, like Hollywood Nails Teresa. I used to have a Hollywood Nails Teresa when I was younger--she was also a secondhand doll, who came without her original outfit. But sadly, when I was about eight years old, I gave away many of my Barbies, and Miss Teresa was one of them. I've been trying to track another one down ever since, and I finally got the chance on Sunday. We decided to name this lot after her. Most of the dolls did not have clothes on when we got them, but there were a few outfits (we undressed all of the dolls for identification, thus why they are nude in this photo). In all, we got 64 dolls in one lot. We also got a container stuffed with tons and tons of Barbie shoes from the same seller, but I didn't picture it here, since there was no room!
That's right, we also found a second lot the same day, which was in a pink, metal trunk. The trunk contained about nine 80s Barbies (sadly, 3 of them had horrible haircuts, so they became body donors). Despite the hair cut situation, these 80s dolls are really nice for their age, and if you don't know it already, the 80s is my favorite Barbie decade to collect...that's why I have to hoard them. #SelfieSnaps Photobooth Cloe I purchased separately from the same seller I got my Martina McBride doll from last weekend. She was wearing her full outfit when I found her (but like I said, I undressed the dollies for inventory purposes and baths). It's so sad to see that some of the 2015 Bratz have already been cast aside by their original owners...I also spotted some Study Abroad dolls at a different table.

After seeing Nuala's incongruous doors, I was reminded of the lovely wooden ones at the old entrance to Horsham Hospital. I've given them a few filter treatments in Perfect Effects 8.
Treasure Hunt # 22 Doors.
On Veterans Day (which was last Wednesday), Toys 'R' Us ran the most incredible sale on Bratz. ALL Bratz products were 50% off!!! I've been really "good" with Bratz stuff for the most part since they came back this year, because I've been waiting to catch sales. Plus, the shipping was free if you spent over $19. I had no idea TRU was going to run such an awesome sale, which is why I ordered the Storytime Princess Collection pack the week before (which was also on sale with free shipping). I try to wait to buy a lot of stuff in stores during the majority of the year, because I find that things go on amazing sales when the holiday season begins. Since I don't do Black Friday shopping, this was my substitute I suppose. I am SO excited about all these new goodies!!! I've been dying for more Bratz stuff, but it's just so expensive on a regular basis. I feel bad for my new dolls though. Apparently the mailman dropped the box off late yesterday, since it wasn't on my front steps when I brought my sister home from work. So when I went outside this morning to empty out my bucket of used guinea pig hay, I saw a huge box on my porch. The dolls were freezing cold since it was 23 degrees Fahrenheit last night.
I'm not sure what I'm most excited about, because these were the items that I wanted most. I was really tempted by all the Bratz stuff, but I prioritized by what I "needed" and what I had really been wanting. I collect fashion packs in particular since I buy so many second hand, nude dolls, so I was more than happy to snag all the fashion packs while they were on sale (except for the one Deluxe Fashion Pack I already got for my birthday in August). I wasn't actually planning on getting the Shoefies unless they went on sale, so I was thrilled. Plus, even the limited edition pair of shoes that was originally available with pre-orders was on sale! The Study Abroad line has been one of my favorites since it came out, and I've been so tempted to buy at least one doll for ages now, but they are very pricey cuties. I've also been looking for Raya and Cameron, but I haven't seen them at any stores since they came out (not that I go to many stores on a regular basis though). I'm still shocked that TRU ran such an awesome sale!!! My Bratz heart is very content. The only other dolls that I definitely will eventually get this year (sale or no sale) will be the Sleepover Party dolls (all but Sasha who I already have).

Today was an absolutely gorgeous day outside, so I was FINALLY able to go to my local flea market. My sister and I haven't been since late October, which is why I haven't posted any flea market hauls in ages. Technically my local flea market opens the first Sunday in April. But this year it snowed, and then the following week, it rained. I had a good feeling about today, but I never anticipated getting SO MANY DOLLS!!! The first thing we found was a suitcase stuffed to the brim with random 80s and 90s Barbies. They were $2 each, so Colleen and I opted to just pick out the ones we wanted, figuring a package deal wouldn't work. After spending at least fifteen minutes hogging all the real estate in front of the suitcase, we picked out ten dolls we wanted. When we approached the seller with this massive handful of dollies (which looked larger because of their crazy hair), he laughed and said we should just take them all for $25. Well, he made us an offer we couldn't refuse...he joked that he should have asked for $30 because we said "yes" so fast. I thought maybe there were fifty dolls counting the mutilated ladies that would meet Mr. Trash Can and the knock off dolls that we'd donate. But boy was I wrong. What you are looking at here is 86 Barbie dolls and various Disney people (not counting Courtney and Lindsey). Yes, I said 86 dolls...that has to be a record even for us. There were probably more like one hundred originally, but several had unsalvageable haircuts and there were a few really cheap knock offs we weren't interested in.
I would have uploaded this photo hours ago but I identified ALL of them first. I must say, I've gotten a little too good at doll identification...it scares me sometimes. A few minutes later, while hauling this massive suitcase behind me, I saw Lindsey standing next to a Josefina doll on another seller's table. She was a really good deal, but I was feeling temporarily frugal, so I played the "I'll walk around first and think about it" game. Before I was even done walking around the rest of the flea market, I had to ask myself, "Shelly, why on earth are you rushing through the rest of the aisles so you can go to the ATM after? Why not just go now and secure Lindsey???" So I rushed off to the ATM (where some guy commented on my orange hair), procured the funds for Miss Lindsey, and then promptly returned to the seller's table for her. I never planned on getting a Lindsey doll being that I've seen two others in person (not for sale obviously) in the past, and I didn't find them all too cute. But this girl is to die for, and she's in amazing shape. She looks a lot like my Grace doll. After snagging Lindsey, we found Courtney crammed back in her box on the last leg of the flea market. The seller thought she was from the 70s, but when my sister showed him the 1989 box date, he was willing to practically give Courtney away. Colleen has a problem saying no to Skipper dolls.

MOST INNOVATIVE GAME SHOW
Treasure Hunt (United Kingdom)
U.K.: Channel 4 / Thames Television / ITV
1982–1989
Based off the French show La Chasse au Trésor, created by Jacques Antoine, Treasure Hunt is time sensitive game show broadcast on a variety of networks in the United Kingdom during its entire run. A team of two contestants in the studio had to use a library of maps and reference materials to solve up to five clues, and communicate instructions via a radio link to a skyrunner (Anneka Rice) who had the use of a helicopter. Although viewers could see the skyrunner, the contestants could not, and all communication between them was by audio only. The contestants were given the first clue for free, the solving of which would lead to the location of the second clue and so on until a trinket or other significant object was found by solving the final clue. The contestants won a higher cash prize each time they solved a clue correctly. Once the contestants had solved the final clue, the skyrunner still had to confirm they were correct, by reaching the final target. On a few occasions, the contestants solved all five clues with time to spare, in which case, a bonus clue was given to the contestants.
1983 Episode (Early in the series)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMqIZqRc7fI
According to a "making of Treasure Hunt" programme, Anneka Rice was confined to the hotel on the day that the camera operator, video and sound recordist; and helicopter pilot undertook a rehearsal (typically the day before the programme was recorded), so she had no advance knowledge of the locations. This did not stop her carrying out research about the general area in order to have a stock of facts to fill in any silences that might arise while the contestants were thinking.
1988 Episode (Later in the series)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAYZ53XHb0Q
The skyrunner and helicopter did not have freedom to fly and land anywhere they wished. Although the pilot could to an extent request permission from airspace authorities to fly off-course, as happened on occasions, landings needed to be agreed in advance with landowners of a suitable location near the clue. On occasions the helicopter would land in a clearly marked out area, especially at public places. Kenneth Kendall always stressed that he did not know the clues and locations in advance, and any help that he gave the contestants was from his own knowledge.
