Recently Back From An East Coast Canada Road Trip With Blythe For Halloween!

 


  

I find that fall is a good time to travel.  It's not that hot usually and it's not busy.  Hotels are priced better out of season too.  We usually fly to visit our family in Halifax but this time my husband wanted to do a road trip so we could see more sights along the way!  It was mild and warm this fall so we were lucky. First stop was Montreal then Quebec City in Quebec.  In Quebec City we went to a Halloween exhibition at the city hall and fair downtown.  Next was New Brunswick where we saw the Grand Falls and coasted up Magnetic Hill, then PEI aka Prince Edward Island where our hotel had a neat little pumpkin carving contest and then Halifax where we had a wonderful time with our family out there.  We even went to a Christmas Fair on Friday night.  It was so much fun.  On Halloween day we spent the afternoon thrifting and we went to 5 thrift shops!  It was so wonderful!  So many cute and interesting things but no Blythe dolls.  Oh well it was such a great time anyways.  Then we went to a local place for dinner with a great view.  We actually saw a massive murder of crows Halloween evening fly back to their home.  It was so creepy!  We left Halifax a couple days after and began our trip home.  The ferry to the US was closed so we decided just to drive back from Canada.  Next time we will be driving through the states to Halifax!  I posted all the pictures on my AnnaBlytheDoll Facebook.  Please add me as a friend or follow me if you like.  
 
Love,

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...
