Today at the market, at the ladies knitting, I accidentally found this doll. At first, I thought it was a vintage Stacy from Mattel, but it’s a Lucky doll from 1995 made in China by an unknown manufacturer with a rabbit logo.

From Mariupol, my mom and dad moved my straw paintings to Lviv. And this summer, Rostic and I moved them to the Netherlands. They were only in old frames that my grandfather Vanya made from available materials. It’s clear that these frameworks didn’t harmonize with each other. But then my parents came to visit, and Dad offered to reframe my paintings and make identical frames for them. A week of work, and the art gallery above the staircase is ready. Thank you so much to my dad!

At the doll and miniature exhibition, Anya found two soft Barbie dolls—Bedtime Barbie from 1993 and Slumber Party Barbie from 1994—a California Girl Beach Surf Barbie from 2003, and an old Barbie with a 1976 mold and a 1966 body. And also the Na doll! Na! Na! Surprise Juli Joyful Panda from the fourth series, but without clothes and a cosmetic bag. And we also bought a small vintage Monchhichi from the 80s by Sekiguchi (series 4). But the thing that surprised me the most was the little old man baby from Mattel Sunshine Family Little Sweets, made in Taiwan in 1973.

In the second-hand shop today I found rare little dolls from Mattel—Liana, Keeya, Becky, and Kelly. I got them all in order, and they settled into my collection.

At the doll and doll miniature exhibition, I bought a brand new baby Kelly from the cartoon “The Princess and the Pauper.”

Finished another autumn project for school. This time, I cut out leaves and umbrellas and covered all the school windows with them. Very tired, but I like the result!

I prepared a poster for the wall for Children’s Book Week. The teachers took photos in costumes of different professions for the quest. And I framed them and put them together in a poster. I also fashioned a mailbox for completed questionnaires out of old books. The children liked it, and the teachers did too.

A new series of Mattel’s Harry Potter characters has been released. I bought Harry and Hermione for myself. They are so cool! They have large heads and anime-like faces. And I also found a cute house-elf named Dobby with a sock.

Masha received a gorgeous, fully articulated doll with an anime-style face for her birthday. I put a new wig on her and dressed her in a Bonnie dress.

Today is Masha’s birthday! She is already 10 years old! I still can’t believe it! We plan to celebrate this date in style. First with the neighbors, then with her school friends, then with her grandparents and our family friends.
