Thanks Giving With Close Family, Friends And Blythe Dolls!

I am so excited! I am expecting my family to come over and visit me this weekend for Thanksgiving!! I am so lucky to have the honor to hold all the main family get togethers but whenever they do visit there are mixed reactions to my dolls. The girls just love them but the boys laugh and always say that I need to sell them soon. Well except my husband who actually is so sweet and encourages my hobby and interests.

The last time my sweet and beautiful sister in law was over she was in my vanity/doll room with her little one just hanging out. A few days later she buys 3 blythe dolls! I am such a bad influence haha! I made a dolly dress for one of her dolls and she was so grateful. You never know who is going to get the Blythe doll fever bug and who is going to be kinda creeped out about them.

Aside from my close family and friends no one really knows about my hobby. I find it best not to get into that personally! lol So the house is all decorated and my dolls are all dressed up extra special for the big holiday!

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...
