I think she met the McKenzies through the craft fairs run by Trixie Thomson in the 1970s.Neale Enoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-34128250142096358342011-10-28T00:53:44.609-07:002011-10-28T00:53:44.609-07:00You can get a reminder of the dolls Neale's mu...You can get a reminder of the dolls Neale's mum made in the October 2009 archive, where you'll see the one of Tommy Small.RETRO DUNDEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07746839418666784001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1075437092819379415.post-81340760608496562892011-10-27T16:20:41.717-07:002011-10-27T16:20:41.717-07:00Oooh...Neale were they the dolls with the shrivell...Oooh...Neale were they the dolls with the shrivelled apple faces????

Lovely bloke who was a chum of my dads. It's a wonder he ever made any money as anytime my dad took me in I'd be given my pick of the arty toys.<br /><br />This is the shop that became the Apple Tree but I think it has since been renamed again.Bridiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06598011334068019011noreply@blogger.com
