Hi everyone just joined the forum so I will tell you a little story about how I come to collecting sindys. I have never owned a sindy doll All I wanted as a little girl was a sindy, never got one for christmas or birthdays. Why I dont know. All my friends had them so I used to play with theirs, they didnt only have one sindy but two and three, so one day I had a plan. My friend and I were playing with her sindys in the garden, I stuck one of her sindy dolls up my jumper and said, clutching my tummy, that I had to go home I had tummy ache. I ran across home with the sindy feeling really guilty then tried to convince myself that I was rescuing sindy from having to stay in the outhouse another night (this is where my freind kept her sindy dolls) I told my mum the next day I had found the sindy doll, but as mums do she saw straight through me and made me give it back........ Then last week I was in a charity shop and picked up two sindy dolls for £1.00 I thought I would sell them on ebay. When I got them home and took them out of the bag I couldnt beleive how lovely they were. So they are not going on ebay but are the start of my collection. So I finally own my own sindy doll after 28 years so look forward to talking to everyone soon Dawn x

Hi Dawn! Welcome to the group ...Wow that's a great story; you've wanted a Sindy for so long! Congrats on treating yourself to the dollies you've always wished for. I think you will have a wonderful time here . Hope to chat with you more soon about your new and soon to be growing Sindy collection. You'll soon discover that once you have one or two Sindy dolls, they tend to multiply!!!! Best Wishes, Frances!

Hello Dawn,
Welcome to the forum, I liked your story. I never had Sindys, as I'm only 13. But my mum strated collecting a couple of years ago and thats how I started! Lucky you finding 2 Sindys at a charity shop. Love Alice

Hi Dawn & welcome to this very friendly & helpful group We'd love to see your dolls and don't forget to take before and after photos .. (something I have to force myself to remember to do) I'm always in such a hurry to get my poor bedraggled Sindy's into a hot bath that I forget to take pics most of the time ;D

You lot are so friendly looks like I'm gonna make loads of new friends on here. Before and after shots of my dolls never thought of that, that will suit me down to the ground as my other hobby is photography especially macro Dawn x
