Blythe With The Lovely Cherry Blossoms At High Park In Toronto 🌸

This past spring my husband and I took our e-scooters to high Park to feed the chipmonkies as my father used to call them and other animals and see the cherry blossoms and other blossoms and flowers. It was so beautiful I was so glad we went this year in mid May. They usually bloom early May I was told by someone that frequents the park but this was the last cherry blossom tree in bloom. Next year I will go early May and I highly recommend that if you live in Toronto or are visiting Toronto you check it out too! Weekends and holidays there is no access for cars and there isn't that many parking spots either. Sometimes parking is limited during the week too. I just am grateful for my e-scooter!

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...
