While at the Stamp attic I managed to nip out at lunchtime along with Sue Roddis and do a bit of bargain hunting, I found the china doll in a second hand shop and after dismantling her we found she had glass eyes… perfect!
Sue also found a shop selling the clay pipes for £1 each so I went straight down there and got myself some!

Oh and found these Dr Who toys half price, not sure how they will be used yet but had to snap them up :)

  2. It was a fun day Andy......I can't believe that doll had glass eyes that came out......porcelain dolls (at a decent price) are hard enough to find but with glass eyes....well!!
    LOve what you did with the beetle:)
