Sindy in the Sixties Exhibition

[Vintage Sindy Gal]

Hi,

To be honest it never actually occurred to me to join a forum and now I'm thinking what took me so long. My mum thinks I'm mad, but it's nice to be surrounded by people who get my love of collecting Sindy's. I love dressing them in vintage clothes and outfits that my friend makes for me.

I'm going to share something with you that only Sindy fans will understand. I have a flickr and I was doing a photo shoot in my mum's garden with my Sindy's, using props and back drops. I shot one balancing on a photo frame, which was suspended in the air. I felt like a proper photographer, positioning the girls in there poses. My mum looked at me like I was crazy, but I'm really pleased with the results ;D.

Recently I was lucky enough to interview Helen Carter who has a Sindy in the Sixties exhibition at the Museum of Childhood. I'd advise any Sindy collector to check it out if you can.

Take care

Hi there!

Welcome to the forum. I read your article, congrats on that,it's a good little read. I'd love to visit that museum one day. They did have a few Sindy dolls on display in the museum here in Sheffield last year though, 1970s/80s ones I think and also there was a Space Fantasy Sindy on display when they had a space themed exhibit on.

Hiya, and welcome to this very friendly forum. Taking photo's of Sindy, especially in the garden is great fun isn't it! Think my neighbours got worried when I did it though - their house is up for sale now !

Look forward to chatting some more soon.

Hi,

Thanks so much for leaving your comment on the site Lisa, it was much appreciated. ;D It really needs to be seen, it's amazing and it's put together in a way that really shows just how fabulous she is. It's set up in little scenes, set on the back drop of images that reflected the 60s.
I know I can say this to you fellow Sindy fans, but since doing my article, I'm really loving and appreciating my vintage Sindy's now. I still get really nervous and my heart starts beating real fast and I still have that sick feeling when I'm bidding on a Sindy I really want. Can anyone else relate?
