Finding My Blythe Dolls I have obtained my ** Blythe Dolls ** as a result of searching flea markets, doll sales, estate sale, garage sales, thrift shops, selling hand made items, responding to and placing ads (both newspaper & online), Shops, Rinkya.com for a couple rare Takaras, online contests, online sites and auctions. Whewwww! I have pretty much finished my collection, but are we really ever done lol I have 23 – 12″ Blythe dolls and I don’t want to go over… dear Gosh, I can’t go over 23 again hahaha! The easiest way has always been through online auctions and you’d be surprised at the deals you can get.   Where I Searched For Blythe Dolls   Flea Markets, Doll Sales, Estate Sales, Garage Sales & Thrift Shops Okay, so we all know that finding a vintage Blythe in person now a days is kinda like being struck by lightening imo.  It’s still possible, but it’s very rare. What I have done over the years is a bit outsi...

I just love hearing the stories about people finding Kenner Blythe dolls for amazing prices!  Or if you know about a public amazing KB find you can share.  Also TLC makeover stories, or people who hustle and save up for a KB!  I love them so much that I decided to start a Facebook group, Amazing Kenner Blythe Finds!    I bet with loads of members we could fill the group with wonderful stories of what a lot of doll collectors actually day dream about so I hope you join! I have even added one of my amazing Kenner Blythe Stories along with a picture of the doll.  I will also share some of my tips too so those that are on the hunt can try. Thanks for your time! Love, AnnaBlytheDoll xo

Looks like I found out about the Yahoo Blythe Kenner Group because of Bonnie's site, it was over 20 years ago, so no wonder I forgot.  It's too bad that the group is no ...

As of December 15, 2020 all Yahoo Groups were deleted including Yahoo Kenner Blythe Group which I was a member of since the early 2000's.  At the time it was the only way that Blythe doll lovers could join in to send messages and share pictures.  It was a great group but then came Live Journal, then the forums came, then Facebook, then Tumblr and then Instagram.   I was a member of the group even before I owned a Blythe doll.  I would post for advice and so many great people would share their tips and support.  I even found my first Blythe, a red head Kenner with bangs called Rose for a incredible price of $15 US.  I found her in the local online Pennysaver, a lady was selling her doll collection, and told me her price, so I sealed the deal! My First Blythe Doll, My Rose, A Kenner Blythe Red Head, With Bangs  I actually developed my own tips in my search for 1972 Kenner Blythe dolls and other Blythe dolls. I won a Halloween Contest on the group a...
