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!

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...
