Went to a small doll meet yesterday at the Paddington Reservoir Gardens. This was my first time testing out these eyes in the wild! What I didn’t notice until I was editing the photos was that Artemis was in fact cross-eyed the entire time.

Happy New Year, although it’s past Easter now =w=
Had a small meet yesterday at the Royal Botanic Gardens. I tried to edit the photos to look a bit more like film this time.
I’ve also opened an Instagram account, let’s give it a try (https://www.instagram.com/moonteahouse/). It seems like it compresses my photos, but I see more and more people using it, oh well >-<
Doll Meet
A small meetup held on the weekend. The stained glass window photo was taken at Queen Victoria Building, and the rest of the photos were taken at The Strand Arcade. Both are very beautiful old buildings in Sydney. Usually there are no lights on the handrails, but they have been put up for Christmas :)
Meet at Annual Doll Fair
Went to a traditional doll fair yesterday to see if there was anything interesting to buy. The only thing I ended up buying were eye sizers which I’ve been looking for anyway. Still it was a large fair and since there were many stores selling antiques there may be something that catches my eye next time.
We took some quick photos before leaving on the front lawn. The two silk dresses worn by Mami and Lieselotte were actually bought at the fair. They were made for traditional porcelain dolls but fit surprisingly well.

Blue Mountains Botanic Garden
Small doll meet at the Blue Mountains Botanic Garden yesterday. The Garden mocked my complete lack of preparation for nature by throwing giant bugs at us all day. But other than that the garden was beautiful and the weather was absolutely perfect!
This morning when I unpacked my Aika I found her hands and wrists were stained ;_;
For some reason even though I know BJDs stain, even though I know DDs stain, the thought that Azone might stain never occurred to me.
