Box of Dolls Found But Not One Blythe Doll :(

I was at a fab yard sale this past weekend and there was so many neat things. I found a couple retro side bags for only a buck each and 4 cds for a buck! There was also dolls and dolly clothes at super low prices. All of it seemed like it was worth way more than that but I paid what they asked and left like that IKEA woman hahaha! HONEY START THE CAR!!! START THE CAR NOW!!!!!! lol :p

Oh and there was a freakin box of dolls and I started daydreaming about finding a vintage 1972 kenner blythe doll for a buck. No such luck but it was still quiet the rush because the possibility of it is always so appealing! I wonder what I would do if I ever found a kenner that way? I hope I don't pass out. haha! Oh well at least I was able to save up for my kenners by selling other vintage things online and then I was able to save up for my 3 kenners that way! I have more tips on this blog that I share on how I achieved my blythe doll collection.

So I ended up picking up 2 outfits for only $4 bucks! I will mix and match and obviously the hat and shoes don't fit so I will donate those.

All in all it was still a lot of fun and I even picked up some neato retro stuff I could sell for dolly and/or fu money. I love earning each and every penny for fun stuff this way. It's fun for fun! What else could I ask for.

Anyways, thanks for taking the time to read my blog. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Oh before I go I updated the BigEyedBuys website and am still working on it. It's a lot cleaner and easier to navigate. I am always open to suggestions so please feel free. Thanks again!

Big Hugs!

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...

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...

"Blythe Bible" From The Toy King, Jordan Hembrough! #toyhunter

I don't even know how to begin on this one! I thought I knew pretty much everything about 1972 Kenner Blythe Dolls. Well actually I did not! Little did I know that there was a lot more that had been tucked away for decades until recently. I'm not sure if you guys remember me blogging about this amazing new show on Travel Channel called Toy Hunters ? Well soon after that I discovered Jordan on Facebook and started asking him about the show and if Kenner Blythes would be featured. He was so awesome and answered me, it's all on this blog, so I continued to support him and his show. Out of the blue he sends me a note this past summer stating that he had something for my Blythe collection?!!! I was so very pleasantly surprised!!! I had no idea that he would do that because what I did I did because I truly and greatly enjoyed the show. I did not look for anything in return. HOWEVER, it wasn't like I was gonn...
