MARY'S STORY.....................................................................
THERE'S A STORY AS TO HOW I FOUND SINDY AGAIN. AFTER 34 YEAS I FINALLY TRACED MY CHILDOOD BEST FRIEND, MELANIE, IN JANUARY 2006 AND WE'VE STAYED IN TOUCH EVER SINCE, ENJOYING MANY A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE.
I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING SPECIAL FOR MEL'S BIRTHDAY AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE GREAT TO DO A GIFT BAG FULL OF MEMORABILIA. WHEN WE WERE KIDS, I HAD A FIRST ISSUE SINDY DOLL AND MEL HAD A TRESSY, SO I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE NICE TO FIND HER ANOTHER BLONDE TRESSY? MY HUBBY SAID THE ONLY WAY TO FIND ONE WOULD BE TO LOOK ON EBAY, SO I JOINED UP AND WAS ABSOULUTELY AMAZED TO FIND BOTH TRESSY AND SINDY DOLLS FOR SALE!!!!!!
I SHRIEKED WITH DELIGHT WHEN I RECEIVED MY FIRST SINDY-SHE WAS EXACTLY THE SAME AS MY CHILDGOOD DOLL, MIE 1963 WITH CHESTNUT HAIR, AND THE FIRST OUTFIT I BOUGHT WAS LUNCH DATE. WELL, I BECAME ADDICTED TO COLLECTION AND NOW HAVE A CABINET DISPLAYING MY SINDY'S PATCH AND A FEW TRESSY'S.
NOT ONLY DID I FIND MY BEST SCHOOL FRIEND BUT ALSO ALL MY DOLLY FRIENDS TOO!!! IT'S GREAT TO BE A MEMBER OF THE VINTAGE SINDY GROUP AND TO MEET LIKE-MINDED SINDY COLLECTORS. THE 60'S SINDY'S ARE MY MOST FAVOURITE, SO I HOPE YOU ENJOY MY PICS OF THEM AND ALSO MY 3 PATCH DOLLS.
A HUGE THANK YOU TO MARY FOR SHARING HER WONDERFUL SINDY'S AND STORY WITH US.
I HOPE MARY IS THE FIRST OF MANY SINDY COLLECTORS TO SHARE THEIR DOLLS AND SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR COLLECTION WITH US
