Mrs Frugal Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 ......they were much more tiny & delicate & had that wondeful long flowing hair. One of my Pippa Dolls had annoying hair that stuck up before hanging down (like she'd had her hair in a pony tail for too long!) I used to spend ages wetting and flattening it to try and make it hang properly only for it to spring up again as soon as it was dry ... Yes mine did too until I cut all her hair off ! I went through an "I want to be a hairdresser" phase. Thank goodness I didn't or I'd have been sued by now ! I loved my Pippa dolls. I had 8 or 9 I think along with the Pippa Apartment which lived on my desk in my bedroom so I had to do my homework on my knees!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, I cut the hair off mine to, and got a slapped bum for it, because Pippa and I shared the exact same shade of hair, and my mum thought I had cut my own hair!

Karen & co. Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I still have my Pippas including a travel wardrobe thing that they live in. Sarah and her friends were playing with them the other day, and her friend thought they were really cool karen x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 I still have my original Pippa and the first Rosemary I saved up the petals for, sold all the other Pippas, car, furniture and outfits on ebay and made a mint! It was such a thrill going to the toy shop with saved up pocket money and spending ages picking out one outfit though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Wow, I loved the Pippa link, thanks Kate - all those outfits! What memories they brought back. But I especially liked the customised Pippas - why did I have all boys? Do you think I could get them into playing with dolls? (more to the point, do you think OH would let them?? ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted November 15, 2006 Share Posted November 15, 2006 Got me started now! remember cadbury chocolate machines you had to put an old penny in? I remember but it was 2p when I was little. Sorry! (and you couldn't buy the refills easily either...) I bought one of these from a jumble sale years ago as I was deprived as a child and never got any overpriced plastic tat (that's what mum called it ) It is in the spare room and I tried it out the other day, Dan you are right it takes 2p pieces. I thought you could buy those little chocolate bars though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
