Floral Delight

Like the bionic woman, you can repair them better than before.

Actually the heads get clean rather easily but the hair, that will be another matter and it will require some very "girly" action to get those clean. To begin with, a nice shampooing.

Oh man! The carnage there must be unreal. The clean up process definitely takes a long time.

I'm sure you can handle that. If that doesn't work, re-hairing is not that difficult, we even have a tutorial now.

Give them new hair with natural fibres, will be even more realistic

I obtained a 2nd Floral Delight dress. This one from the Netherlands. America disappoints me somewhat. This dress was mainly sold in their countries (USA and Canada) and while there must be dozens of dresses lingering in attics and basements none show up on sites such as Ebay. Or here.
The Phicens are S39 and S28.

Remember the miniature dictionaries ? I found a few of them hiding in a closet.
But where are the other ones ?

Salvaged stuff. Untouched by fire (except for the smell sometimes) but often covered by a layer of soot.



Even the coffee grinder survived, needs a clean though.



Shoes for Kenner dolls, usually selling at + $20 a pair on Ebay.

Nice you were able to recover more stuff.

Another lucky find, at the bottom of a box with "ordinary" clothing I found a few special items. Such as the "Royal Occasion (1977)" dress.
Survivor and new purchase using a larger S25 and and a smaller S27. There must be a third one somewhere.

Glad you keep finding survivors.

They look so pretty!! Glad they survived. They look good on those petite bodies!

Royal Occasion #3 has been found. It needs some cleaning.

Look who is back, all the way from Malaya. And she brought 2 sisters too.

Very pretty!

The #3 dress has been cleaned. It's a little bit paler than the other 2 but the lace is rather messed up and I am very reluctant to iron the dress as it's rather plastic than textile so it could melt when heated.
Not to worry though, #4 is on its way.

Looking good! May the cleaning process all work out nicely. The golden dress looks really nice!

Meanwhile I found another survivor : my Samantha Fox cushion. Vintage 1980s. Used as decoration only to keep in good condition. As I didn't see it anymore so I assumed it had been laying next to the bed and had been burned to a crisp too. But no, it was buried under a heap of other cushions on the sofa.

The antique cash register, looks even more antique now.

Actually a pencil sharpener.

Cool register.
I thought it was some kind of Enigma-like cypher machine, and the two of them are breaking nazi codes.

Oh, I have one of those in the Ammo Arms

The Enigma machine looks more as a typewriter.

I think the period of major finds is over, from now on it's more a matter of "lost and found trinkets".
Such as this eight-pack of toilet rolls. It was already shown in another topic pre-disaster.

cool prop!

Another survivor, this very vintage 1940s-50s East-German Efzet fridge. Must be one of those nuclear blast-proof models as seen in the movies. Can still be found for a reasonable price, they must have made thousands of these.

There is no snacking such as midnight snacking.

Cool fridge.
As for midnight snacking, that's why fridges have lights in them, right?..

The Honda Elsinore motocross bike dating from the seventies is a new purchase. It replaces the survivor in the background which sustained minor yet too visible damage. Look at the front wheel.
