Happy Valentine's Day From My Blythe Dolls Veronica & Rose Wearing RetroBubbleGum xo

Happy Valentine's day to all the kind and sweet people out there! Above is a picture of my adorable Veronica who is a stock Lounging Lovely Takara Blythe doll wearing RetroBubbleGum and pre loved shoes. The bear and doxy are by CWC Takara that came with my sleep set and the doggy was a gift from a friend! I spiced up the picture thanks to picmonkey.com that is mostly free!

Here is my sweet Rose in the same RetroBubbleGum dress and wearing stock cherry boots from the Takara knees and toes shoe set I purchased years ago for a mere $25 US but the boots alone are worth 4 or 5 times more? I only liked that one set so that's all that I purchased. I am not into the selling part of Blythe. I usually buy and keep 95% of my collection.

So I will be starting an Etsy shop part time in about a month or so and I just designed some new business cards that I think are so adorable! I ordered 500 on vistaprint.ca for only $9.99 CND and $7.99 cheapest shipping. They were usually 50% more on the price but there is a sale on now. Still beats Staples.ca that had only 100 cards for I believe $23 CND. I have ordered postcards from Staples before and you can go there in person for more assistance and you can pick up the cards quick without paying shipping. I always buy from the best at the time so I might be back to Staples if they can offer me better next time.

Well that's it for now! Going to do a bit of shopping this afternoon to make my husband the bestest Valentine's Day dinner ever! All the best to the kind sweathearts out there! xo

Love,

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...
