Suomenlinna 20th September

Suomenlinna is a fortress built in several islands and is a part of Helsinki, capital city of Finland. I went there with few of my non-dolly friends and I guess we all enjoyed our time there. The fortress itself has some parts that are great places to photograph and the islands have a lots of large rocks at the beach and wonderful landscapes around.

This time I took Tilda and Natalia with me and I think I got some pretty nice photos from both. ^^



















We had some Chinese tourists to come and chat, young woman and man, and then two guys. It was great ^^ first two seemed to know "SD" dolls which was great and one of the guys said I should order dolls from China, would be cheaper. ;) I disagreed and said they're as expensive as other countries, and really good quality too! The guys seemed a bit surprised, but if you're talking about some well known companies like Dollzone, they've come out from the very early "cheap" - I prefer to say inexpensive - stigma to very high quality and expensive company. Not to mention much wanted! Wow how much the doll companies have evolved among the hobby itself. As the doll fashion and style changes due time too. Ten years is a long time. I was introduced to dolls back at 2004 by a friend and Tobias moved in about a year after that. He is soon nine years old. I can't believe it. ^^

Anyway, it was great to photograph the girls, I should do the same with boys. Boys are in the middle of clothes change. I've sewed some T-shirts and one pair of jeans. I can't decide if all of my boys would need new trousers/jeans etc or should they dress in their old ones. Them clothes should be ironed before dressing on, I think.

Have one more from Tilda and Natalia.
