Doll Fair, Hannover

Breakfast @ Lilly's café.


As you can see, my 70s Pinkys arrived here last week. :) The need to have proper pictures taken, but unfortunately the sun has been hiding today.

After breakfast on sunday we went to the Puppen & Baren Market (Doll & Bear Fair). I wasn't particularly excited because honestly, most of these antique doll scare the hell out of me. Ok, not so - I am not that squeamish to be scared by a piece of plastic/resin, and I also respect other people's tastes and passions in life - but to me some of these dolls are creepy and downright ugly.

To my surprise, they didn't have only antique dolls, but also loads of clothing, wigs, shoes and 1/12 antique furniture to sell. Everything was so tiny, perfect - and expensive. And even some of the old dollies were really cute.

This one below I would have brought home with me - she is some sort of old replica of an old british type of doll, and in fact is a vintage wooden ball jointed doll. Lovely, but 180 euros was more than I had in my wallet.


Sorry about the blurred/dark photos, but the light was poor inside the place and I was a bit shy. I really don't like to take pictures in expositions because some of the people can be really rude if they don't like to have their merchandising photographed... more on that later.

You can find more pictures here. :)

I wonder what kind of crop it would be?


This little tractor is the exact model that the British Boy used to drive when he was a kid. It was the first thing he drove.
Bonus silly picture that won't make to Flickr:
