We chat to Sindy collector Cathy Palmer. Cathy's images have appeared in many issues of Mam'selle and this month sees the first instalment of her Doris and Buddy stories. Read on to find out more... When did you start collecting Sindy and why? How do you find the Sindy collector community? I started collecting in 2018, initially to replace my childhood Sindy's! We all say that, then more creep in. The Sindy collectors/family are all so friendly and supportive, and I’ve formed some great friendships. What is the most prized/treasured piece in your collection? A Lovely Lively from 1975 purchased last year at Dollycon. What is missing from your collection or, what are you lusting after? A 1968 blonde Side-Part Sindy and Crown. Are you an out-of-the-box or mint-in-box collector? and why? Definitely an out of the box collector. I adore setting scenes for them. What's your favourite Sindy year? and why? 1975/76 that was the first time I saw her aged 8, and
I
thought she was the prettiest doll I’d ever seen - I just adored her face.
