Blythe Doll Blog

So I noticed on Facebook a couple collectors of Blythe from Asia post pictures of this new set so I went and checked the IKEA website and nothing?  I decided to call my nearest store and they did actually have 17 in stock but that night they would only have 16 left! lol  I grabbed one as soon as we were in the right spot.  Seemed like forever before we got there since we had to walk about half way through.  So I see a single set on the top and no display.  Then my husband pointed out the rest of them at the bottom on the floor.  I was a bit disappointed because my dolly Veronica, my LL Blythe doll neo, didn't really get to a chance to play. lol  And I couldn't document their display.  Oh well.  I just took a quick picture of my dolly in front of the box.  Woooo.. fun. lol  Anyways, I found the lighting was sooooooo bright and not warm like before?  Maybe I hadn't been there in a while.  It's like get your stuff and g...

What more can I say?  It was total wow factor number 10 plus!!!  If you ever visit Toronto you should check out the Ripley's Aquarium and the CN Tower at the very least. I will be posting some more blogs with sweet dolly pictures shortly.  I can't help it!  I really think my big eyed and big headed girls are super cute!! Well that's it for now.  More soon, I promise!! Love, Annablythedoll xo

This has been such a busy spring and summer for me.  Lots of work and only a bit fun lol but that's life, I guess.  I still have had time to take some pretty lovely pictures of some of my Blythe dolls, however! That was my little Middie Blythe doll Lidia!  Isn't she so cute!!  We were enjoying Niagara falls and the parks that beautiful sunny, warm and gorgeous day!!! Thanks for taking the time to look.  Hope you are having a great weekend so far too! :D Hugs, Annablythedoll

I was going to the park and wanted to take my Middie Mina with me and wanted a new look for my lovely little dolly!  I decided to go through my Blythe doll Neo outfits and found a perfect little cute full size top that was perfect as a dress for Middie!  What do you think?  This opens up so many more looks for my little darling.  So not only did I make some Skipper fashions for my doll by reducing the patter to 75% but now I can add this to is, as well!  That's all for now!  I hope all you kind people are having a fab spring so far and enjoying nice weather too! Hugs, Annablythedoll

On one of the Doll Adoption Facebook groups some sellers were not properly classifying or even disclosing the base doll.   I think there was maybe a bit of confusion so I decided to make this list on Blythe411 that would hopefully clarify all the different Blythe dolls and fakes. Blythe Doll Classifications 1.   Vintage Prototypes 1972 Kenner Blythe Dolls - Original Blythe Doll AiAi Chan - Original Japanese version Blythe doll. 2. Official Any Blythe doll reproductions licensed by Kenner and/or Hasbro. Takara/CWC - prototypes, neo, middie, petites, belle miniatures & kubric. ToysRUs - prototypes & neo AshtonDrake - neo Littlest Pet Shop - petites 3.  Factory Official Blythe doll parts that did not meet quality or stolen and pieced together then sold online. 4.  Fakes   Eye changing doll rips/copies that were not licensed.

I had such a lovely photo shoot last year and I wanted to share the pictures since Easter is around the corner!!  I was racking my brains about what I could do this year and I seriously couldn't even think of anything that would come as close to the Easter Blythe Doll pictures I did before. Maria is feeding the Easter bunnies before their big day! Here are some of my older Easter themed pictures below. :)  My former VM.  One of the few dolls I have sold but still I had a couple pics and why not post them now in my Easter themed post!!   Another shot of my former Velvet Minuet.   I tried to make a half decent pair of bunny slippers but they were kinda not the greatest. lol  Got to try it again.  This pair went to Gina Garan and the entire outfit that I made to go with them too!!  I also gifted Junko Wong and my dolly friend Brent too! Oh before I forget there has been a pay it forward thing going on and I ha...

I noticed that some of my vintage girls hair was not as soft and there was some frizz creeping in.  I usually just did a mild wash with a fabric softener soak in warm water before and it did wonders before.  I reviewed some other treatments and I decided that since I like a little body in my dolly's hair I would stick to the usual ways.  I hadn't treated their hairs since I got them back in early 2000 so it was definitely time for a freshening up! So one by one I prepped them, did a hair wash with a mild shampoo but I could have used Woolite!  Next time because I had a tester pack I could have used.  I got some no name fabric softener from my mom and then put about a quarter cup in warm water in the bathroom sink.  I treated 2 dolls at a time and then left the last for that evening.  I did the same thing but used a bucket instead.  It worked great too.  So I forgot to mention that after I soaked them for about ten minutes each I rinsed thei...
