I was always interested in Boston and Salem because they hold great history, Massachusetts is not known as The Spirit of America for nothing!  We decided to book it and went last week.  We arrived in Boston in the afternoon and enjoyed a beautiful evening filled with bright lights and yummy seafood!  The next day we set forth to do the tourist thing.  In the warmth and sunshine we got to walk the freedom trail and we got to see first hand Americas great beginnings.  Even before that we started literally in the middle at the Boston Common with it's lovely trees, lush green grass, frog pond with cute building and lovely fountain.   It was the perfect place to soak in the surrounding sites, as well.  We got on the freedom trail and discovered the historic North end by foot thanks to the perfectly placed so everyone can see red line in brick and painted on the historic walkways of Boston! I won't go into detail for you because I really think that e...

The world will NOT END in 2012  Whew!  That's such a relief, Great Maria!!!  What an amazing blythe doll!  I was really worried there for a while.  I also take comfort in knowing that many have predicted the world ending and it has never come to light yet.  Remember that reverend in Florida that claimed that the world would end last year in May and then for sure in October lol  I'm sorry but if you had half a brain in your head you would remember what your mamma told you and not say anything if you haven't got anything nice to say!   Love, AnnaBlytheDoll xo

  I was having some fun with some of my dollies the other day and came up with a little look a like girl.  I don't know about you but I think the new TLC show Here Comes Honey Boo Boo is really fun to watch.  Alana is such a little qt and very smart too!  I thought how much of a vintage blond 1972 kenner blythe doll she looks like, especially when she's all dressed up for her pageants.  You can tell she  really enjoys doing them because she gets to show off and shine on stage. Alana's new show is actually a kind of spin off of TLCs Toddlers and Tiaras.  She was actually competing in a pageant when I guess she must have won over the hearts and smiles of the producers of The Learning Channel!  I can see why cause her personality is really great!  She's such a little character and light!  That girl is always smiling :D I'm not sure if anyone caught the last or 2nd last episode of Here Comes Honey Boo Boo when Alana and her family w...

Jade was out in our Japanese garden this afternoon and she came upon our lazing frog fountain.  So she decided to give him a little kiss in hopes she would find her true prince POOF Jade was so shocked she fainted. Kiwi said "what did you expect, there are no blythe boys!" Beautiful Blythe doll princesses can live happily ever after, though.  Proof!  I have 23 living together right now ^o^ lol I hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed making and sharing it xo  Love, AnnaBlytheDoll xo p.s. I made the outfits by hand a while ago ^o^

Hey Gang!  Just a heads up that my new favorite show, featuring TOYS and hunting for them, with the very cool and talented host, Jorden Hembrough, will be on tomorrow night 10pm/9c, and on one of my favorite channels too, the Travel Channel!  I am super excited and I can't wait to see the first episode since the pilot!  I can't wait!!!    Love, AnnaBlytheDoll xo

  After I wrote the blog about the new show Toy Hunters and it's terrific host, Jordan Hembrough, I was determined to ask him a few questions so I found his Facebook and sent him a public message on one of his updates. I figured it was a long shot since he was in the midst of filming twelve episodes but regardless I still had to try because i believe that if you don't take a chance then you will not even have the opportunity. So I decided to lay it all out and put it out there so that maybe I would be able to find out  if our little vintage diva and other creepy cute retro dolls would be featured too!  This is what I actually wrote him:   "Hi Jordan, I love your new Toy Hunters show on the Travel Channel! I caught the first episode this past Sunday and I have already blogged about how great it was. Do you know when the new episodes will be out? Will we see anything on my f avorite toy the 1972 Kenner Blythe dolls? I also would love to see stuff on ot...

So yesterday, Sunday June 10th, 2012, after I got home from the beach, I was flipping through the channels and found a new show on The Travel Channel at 5pm called, "Deep Fried".  I was instantly in love because, I mean, how could you not love anything deep fried lol  I loved it so much I was hoping for another episode right after but I got something better.  Another new show called, "Toy Hunters" :D Okay so Jordan Hembrough is the host of the show and he has been on the search for vintage toys for over 25 years, both as a collector and as a dealer.  His website is Hollywoodheroes.com and he also sells at the Comic Con shows where he has made over $15,000 US and now he has his eyes set on the NY Comic Con but this time he wants to make $20,000 US.  I believe I saw his booth at the Toronto Comic Con this past April because it looked identical to the one on the show.  There were lots of amazing toys that I know for sure! For this first episode he goes o...
