Blythe Doll Blog

I am in love with the fall season.  It is truly a special time of year to me.  Being that I'm a valley girl, we have a lot of amazing trails and wonderful historic sites in my area too, and I have utilized this in my Blythe doll photography also.  I was specifically at a heritage site late September of this year and took some pretty amazing pictures of my BASAAK fake blythe doll.  Blythe plus amazing scenery doesn't take an expert in photography to get some gorgeous results.  This post is especially for Hecktor who was asking me about dark haired blythes with shoulder length hair.  I immediately thought of my little BASAAK fake blythe girl Yolandi that is featured in this blog.  Though her hair is longer she is a good doll for customizing and costs usually around $24 US plus shipping too!  The trend right now is to actually to disregard the body the doll came with for a flexible pure neemo body blythe size for ...

 I finally got a chance to go to IKEA last night in North York Toronto.  You know the place where the IKEA Monkey Darwin was found.  Anyways, I hit the toy section with my Sophia Rouge Noir EBL Blythe doll and had some fun! My husband did his usual oh you're going to do that now bit and took off lol  I hate when he leaves me alone because he's embarrassed over me taking dolly pictures.  He seems to forget that I'm a doll person that loves to take pics of her dolls in public every now and then.  Not trying to embarrass him on purpose or anything :)  So anyways I was loving all the new toys so much I decided to test them with my dolly.  I had a couple of kids run over and try to pick Sophia up but they backed off when I was like, "oh no, honey"  They were great about it and then left me alone.  Yes their parents were looking at me like I was missing something upstairs lol   Being creating and having fun is...

sweetteddydoll   Is the creator of two gorgeous pieces featured above   You Can Also Learn Yourself with Ravelry.com  Recently I have seen a lot of knit and crochet fashions go for A LOT of pretty pennies!!!  It's amazing how much people are willing to pay for them!  It's none of my business and I am happy for them.  I feel that if you are willing to spend that much and don't ever care to learn then go for it.  I do like that look too and I have made a few crochet and knit fashions myself for my dolls and friends but I have never used a pattern.  They were cute and I sewed on beads and used ribbons to make them look so cute.  It was a bit ago but I think I have pics on my old laptop somewhere.  I should dig it up and post.  I also hand sewed and machine sewed dresses and coats and hats.  It was fun but so many cute fashions for a great price go up on online auctions, Etsy and Artfire all the time.  Then you ca...

Four weeks ago I was in the Annex area and just before Honest Eds I happened upon some really beautiful street art that looked like Blythe dolls!  ^o^  Two weeks ago I decided to bring one of my own blythe dolls that looked similar to one of the graffiti dollies and had a photo shoot! My husband was so patient lol  He was like, "I'm going to the car because I forgot my laptop".  He was scheduled for a change in less than an hour and would have to work from the patio during dinner.  Yay!  Anyways, I had ample time to take what I believe to be were some really great shots!  The first set was before dinner and was a little too bright but I went back and took more and it wasn't as blinding out. I also love that area because of the amazing history and historic buildings.  I read this amazing book when I was a child titled Booky by Bernice Thurman Hunter .  Beatrice, the main character, a little girl's story of life during the grea...

So I was watching Travel Channel's Toy Hunter season two episodes this morning on my droid tablet whilst working out and was so pleasantly pleased to see that Jordan finally came through!  I was patient all last season waiting for him to find my favorite vintage dolly to appear but sadly she didn't :( Well in the 2nd episode titled "Toy Lovers", at approximately the 10 minute mark, my wait was over!  The doll is even cuter than I imagined!  I wonder if this is the same doll that Jordan told me about on the phone cause he said that he found the doll and not his friend Steve lol  Maybe there is another dolly ;)  Ya right lol I bet he was just trying to help his friend Steve find a buyer quick because he knew how much I like Blythe dolls.  I did notice that Steve was asking $200.00 less than what Jordan offered me lol  Sheesh... talk about taking a bit off the top.  Well he is a toy dealer, maybe he left room to haggle, and what a total Jersey B...

Okay... where to begin!  Let me start with the part about the Blythe doll first ;) Jordon Hembrough, aka The Toy Hunter, called me and told me that the Virginia Toy Museum closed down but he purchased all the stock and it included a Blythe doll!  I was over the top happy for him and I really hope that he will feature the doll on his 2nd season. He asked me to be an expert on his show but I consider myself more of a dolly dork than an expert so I wasn't really into it.  Then he said that he was coming to Toronto and would be at the Toronto Toy Show.  There are so many toy shows and stuff here in Toronto but I think it was the one this past January.  I didn't make it but I'm sure that Jordan would find someone who knows all the exact details about Blythe dolls.  I mean he has his Kenner Toy connections so I'm not worried. He also asked me if I would be interested in styling the dolls hair how it was originally in the box and maybe even purchasing the d...

On one of the Blythe facebook groups I used to run one of the member asked what was written on the backs of the new RBL Blythe doll heads.  I unfortunately do not have any new RBLs, I only have one original Aubrey Prima dolly.  I think to keep my collection in check I can't have more than 25 neo (full sized) Blythe dolls at any one time. I wish I had 500 or more at times but I wouldn't really enjoy my collection then.  It would probably be so overwhelming to me!  I hate selling them too so right now I'm not buying.  Now I can't promise anything for the future.  If I see a dream doll RBL, my favorite reproduction mold, then I'm biting! Anyways, back to the question.  It stemmed from the issue of fake Blythe dolls being sold as authentic Blythe dolls.  There is so much confusion going around and since I have nothing to compare it to I figured I better ask around.  Not surprising I could not find too many that offered information until af...

Instead of taking new pics I went to my Flickr for existing photos of My Maria Kenner Blythe doll with thick and curly, medium brown hair.  Why?  Well February mostly reminds me of Valentines Day and since the dress my vintage 1972 Kenner Blythe is wearing is so perfect to represent this very special month because it's pink and red with heart buttons. I love Daniella's creations very much and have already purchased yet another outfit.  They are so well made, for a fair price, with fair shipping, and come in a reasonable amount of time via airmail too.  You can ask for different shipping rates, I have never had a problem but if you want insurance you can certainly ask.  I love the wonderful scent card that comes with the dress.  If you are allergic please request that no perfume be sprayed.  You can find Sting Pink on Etsy and Facebook.  Definitely worth taking a look.  I think the best place for more information and site URLS...
