Blythe Doll Blog

  I was searching for something fashionable and fresh for my lovely Gina to wear and I went though my box of dolly clothes and pulled out a cute pink polka sparkly dress I found in a thrift shop that I think is barbie and a sparkly pinkish mauve knit cardigan that I found at a parking lot sale. I had some adorable sparkly clear Takara Blythe shoes also! This is the look I got inspired by Selena Gomez. I call it My Rare Beauty. Yes I'm a fan of hers! She dropped a new single yesterday and I caught the premier on Youtube! Selena is such a talented and beautiful girl inside and out too. She has been through a lot but she keeps smiling and not let that nasty stuff get to her. I think she's a great role-model! Do you have an outfit you put together on your Blythe you'd like to share? Please feel free to post it on here too or if you are a member of my Facebook Group Blythe 411 The Original and Off Topic Blythe! Thanks and I hope you all have a great we...

     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 bu...

  I decided to not sell off all my dolls.  I sold two of my Ashton Drake Blythes Kozy Kape and Medieval Mood to a nice lady in the UK but after that I decided to hold off.  I started playing with my dolls again by dressing them up, making clothes and taking pictures.  I made that purple bad and skull dress for my Gina recently too.  I got the pattern free from Blythe 411 Facebook Group.   Currently I'm at 20 full size Blythe dolls, 7 Petite Blythe dolls and one Middie.  Selling the two dolls made me miss them also so I'm still not ready to go to one doll yet.  Maybe in five or ten years but not right now.  I don't really collect many things anyways and I stopped buying new dolls so there is no harm having the dolls I have now.   Anyways, that's the current update with my Blythe doll collection.  I will be posting another blog shortly about my East Coast Canada road trip with my Lounging Lovely SBL Blythe doll Veronica aka ...

My completed Blythe Doll Collection I've been collecting Blythe dolls since 2001 and my first Blythe doll was a 1972 Kenner Blythe doll that I found for $15 US thanks to a Pennysaver ad.   My first Full Sized Blythe doll a 1972 Kenner Blythe I went on to amass over 25 full sized Blythe dolls but I sold a few along the way.  Now I am determined to sell off all but one of my dolls.  You see my beloved dog passed away in February 2022 and I was truly heartbroken.  I all of a sudden had to declutter to get my mind off of it.  I began selling things I didn't use or need anymore online and then I decided to start saving for another puppy.  I even sold off my Playstation one with my favorite Crash Bandicoot games for $250 Canadian!!  I hadn't played it in years and it was just sitting there.    I felt that all those things were a burden and if I wanted to travel the world someday then I had better start now anyways.  I felt great doin...

  The online goodwill store finally got a Kenner Blythe doll up for auction and it went for a bit better price than eBay, around $800, but it seems much better to find them in the Goodwill store! lol!  Oh well hopefully the proceeds will go to those in need! https://www.shopgoodwill.com/Item/116108237?fbclid=IwAR2okczHddCAzabGTaYGi3p6Zt6ZLwIi-jwZxI6f8GsAXHFMfv0UY8HL4hk Luv, AnnaBlytheDoll xo

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...
