| Sasha #108 circa 1979-1986, redressed in a yellow floral print dress |
I began looking for Sasha's original white dress after her sister arrived in May 2014. This Sasha arrived in June 2011 wearing the missing dress that I stored after dressing her in the extra yellow floral print dress the seller sent. I thought the yellow complemented her complexion and red hair.
After three years, I wanted to redress her in the original dress, but could not remember where I stored it. I looked high and low, in every nook and cranny of the doll room, in every doll trunk where clothing for dolls her size is stored. I could not find it until the day of this post (almost a year after the search began) when I decided to store a smaller doll's clothing in an Effanbee doll trunk.

This particular trunk has always (as far as my memory could stretch) been empty. As soon as I opened the trunk I shouted (in my head), "There-it-is!"

I haven't redressed Sasha just yet; but when I am ready to do so, I will know where to locate her white dress. I have documented here and in the description column for her entry on my Excel spreadsheet where I stored it: White dress is stored in Effanbee trunk.

It literally was "The Case..." bah dum dum. (bad jokes... I'm full of them)
ReplyDeleteFrom the title, at first I thought you were going to say it was missing. I immediately thought of that overly inquisitive cable guy.
I shudder to think that something would be missing here as a result of someone actually taking it. Fortunately, it is my own forgetfulness that causes me to misplace things. This is happening more and more of late.
DeleteI wish I had your organizational skills, Muff. When I grow up, I want to be as organized as you.

Ha, this is exactly something that could happen to me too :-D. Great that you found the dress for this fabulous Sasha, she's stunning!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Night Owl.
DeleteI hate when this happens. Usually it doesn't take as long for me to "remember" where I have (mis)placed things. This incident "takes the case."

Heh, I love that feeling that you get when something turns up after having been missing for so long!
ReplyDeleteI tend to hide my doll clothes/acessories, that I want to keep, from my dautghter and then can't remember where I hid them.
DeleteIt's spelled r-e-l-i-e-f, jSarie, that feeling when you rediscover missing things.
DeleteSimsgrl, my husband will move a doll from another room into the doll room and it might take me months to realize he has done this. He did this recently. It took me a couple of days to discover she had been moved from the living room to the doll room and I wasn't happy about it either.

Yay, you found it! I do things similar to this all the time. I absolutely love when I find something that I have been searching for. The spreadsheet is a really great thing to have.
ReplyDeleteThe spreadsheet is going to be a lifesaver in many ways GG. I was recently informed that photos can be added to Excel spreadsheets. I have no plans to go back and add photos for dolls entered on spreadsheets for prior years, but I have begun doing that with my already 6 (six) entries for dolls entered on the 2015 spreadsheet.
