IKEA Has The Perfect Shelving For Blythe Dolls and Other Collections!

So I decided to go to IKEA to purchase a shelf for my dolls and accessories. Went to the famous Monkey IKEA in North York where Darwin the monkey in a jacket was found. I wanted a white shelf but something that was more compartmentalized so that I could use the individual spaces for pictures like a diorama. It's like a big blythe condo lol

I fixed it up a little bit but it still needs more dolly furniture and things :) xo

This is the Kallax shelf for $129 CND plus tax. There are many different styles and colors too that I feel would suit many different collectors and their different rooms. IKEA.com for more!

I have to buy some doll stands and more dolly furniture too! I think in time it will be perfect. On the bottom of that shelf on the left I have non dolly retro vintage games. Then I have a few of the BL Takara boxes, My Vintage 1971 Apple Pie knitter and a white storage box filled with dolly clothes and shoes! Then on the 3rd shelf from the bottom I have some dolls and the Takara Veeno Vespa Scooter, Then above that Takara outdoor patio furniture and dolls and on the top shelf I have dolls and the IKEA living room furniture set. On the very very top I have dolls, a Kenner Blythe 1972 case and a signed print from Gina Garan! Yay!!!

I may sell some of my EBL Takaras. Original Cherry Berry and Love Mission may go? I am not sure yet. I want to make sure before I sell them. I seem to like customs and fantasy hair colors best with the EBL face mold. I am just going to think about it for a bit more before I decide because it seems some EBLs don't go for much anyways and I have had those dolls for a while now.

I did notice a mark on the top piece of the shelf made by the forklift so I called IKEA and they said to bring in the piece and they will exchange it no problem. Even though you can't really see it, I paid for a shelf that was in perfect condition. When I go back I will also ask for a discount for all my trouble. Wish me luck!

Lovve,

Update: They did replace it and gave me a $15 gift card too! http://blythedollblogblogger.blogspot.com/2014/06/ikea-replaced-damaged-shelf-piece-gift.html

Blythe Doll Care & Tips ( Stains & Storage )

There is so much information out there concerning Blythe doll tips and care that I thought that I would combine what I learned from my own experience over the years and all that I found out from researching the web into this single blog. Storage - When storing blythe dolls it seems that often there is a chemical reaction with plastics that causes melting. So when storing or traveling with your dolls, please be sure that the doll is not touching other plastic (stands, shoes - especially Rosebuds, dolls arms & legs, etc.). Plastic from the face has even melted when the legs of another doll has touched, so please do not store together or any other part touching will melt the doll if stored, it is ideal not to put the dolls together and keep separate. I wouldn't even store the doll contacting the dolls own arms and/or legs to the face. Some even wrap their dolls in a piece of cotton. Stains - Please be careful of denim, tights and black & red clothing. They are probl...

The "Blythe Bible"

I was sent a Blythe Folder containing pretty much the beginnings of Kenner Blythe Dolls information, by the Toy Hunter, Jordan Hembrough, for my collection. He told me that he was sending me what he called a "Blythe Bible", a file filled basically with designs, pricing, handwritten notes, etc. from a former Kenner employee that he had acquired during one of his hunts. The Toy Hunter said that I could post the contents to share with all Blythe Collectors too and he also told me that it's been over 40 years that it was not subject to any copy write restrictions. It's all photocopies that I have, with a few color copies, and not the originals, but they're still great for referencing! If you are a major collector of Blythe dolls this is probably like plastic crack for you. lol Others may not really care about these but I did find them very interesting myself. He sent it to me a few years ago but unfortunately it wasn't the right time to post it with all that n...

Products That Help Reduce or Eliminate Yellowing On 1972 Kenner Blythe Dolls And Link To Blythe411 Reduce The Frizz Tips.

On Blytheworld Facebook my facebook dolly friend, FiFi Latrixabel, posted she had won a yellowed blonde Kenner Blythe, her Lemon girl, and is attempting to bleach her dolly to have her go back to the original skin color face plate. She is using Pearl Drops but there were other suggestions too. I logged it on my Blythe411 Facebook group with permission from Fiona and another member that had some tips. Pearl Drops "Worth a try until I can get my stuff together for a major skin bleaching session." Fiona W. Snipped from Fiona's post on BlytheWorld with her permission. Update pic of Fiona's lovely blonde kb! I think the yellowing is fading with the pearl drops and the doll is looking very lovely! I can't wait to see the after pictures :D "The formula is called RetroBrite. It removes yellowing from older plastics and returns them to their original color/state. Hope this works." Adrian D. L. Snipped from the following thread with permi...
