Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

First Order for 2016

Okay, I actually placed the order on the 28th December, but I count her as the first order for 2016. :) I don't know how many of you have seen these dolls, but they have the most wonderful faces, full of expression and when grouped together they really do look like a bunch of little kids.


Expected delivery date is around the beginning of April. I think the name Tuppence suits her and you can bet your boots she won't be the last from this artist, providing all runs smoothly. I am definitely going to need a Penny or a Ha'penny, and maybe a Shilling or a Thruppence . . . oh dear, where on earth will this end?? :)


You can see more of his YOSD sized dolls here, but I found it difficult to join the website. So I just emailed the artist directly with my order, he responded quickly and let me know via email that he had received my payment successfully. His English is not too bad, understandable and extremely courteous.


There is also a discussion group on DoA here and a waiting room here.

I am also waiting on two PukiFees from Fairyland (ordered in November), a tan Cupid and a normal skin Zio to use as a fairy sister for Wi and Pi. They should with luck, arrive at the beginning of February.
