Howdy!
My throwback posts are coming to an end. I think I have just one or two more left. So before I get onto those, I wanted to post about a small makeover I did to one of my Ever After High Dolls.
I was unhappy with little miss Darling Charming.
Here is what she looks like out of the box.
Beautiful doll and she's one of my favorites. But here is her webisode form.
Big, Beautiful Hair. Did I mention big? The style of the back of her hair was a little constricting.
So I took it out, shook it out, took out the bands from the front of her hair and voila!
Going to take a little more work to get the bouffant style in the front of her hair but for now, I'm much more happy with it.
Gotta add some more curl too.
She looks much better with floofy hair and it surrounding her face. Don't you agree?
Another Throwback post coming soon! Until then!
Seasons Greetings!
Have you all finished your Christmas shopping? I have one last person to buy for and then I am done! As much as I love Christmas and wrapping, etc, I am glad when I can put away all the ribbons and trimmings and paper and get my dining room looking back to normal! Anyone with me on this one?
I walked into the spare bedroom where I have my Ever After High dolls displayed and found the most amazing sight. The sun was shining right on the glitz and glamour of the Thronecoming line. After weeks of rain and snow, this was a very refreshing sight! I tried to capture it as much as I could.
Blondie and Cupid shimmer
It was really Cupid that caught my eye first. How her dress sparkles!
Raven and Apple share in the sunshine
And Briar basks as well
Of course, others had to come join as well. Like the most beautiful Darling
And Ginger
And Duchess
This was so fun. Just had to share!
Also, a few weeks ago I was feeling very unenthusiastic about Holly's hair. As the daughter of Rapunzel, you've got to have killer hair right? Well, it was a little frizzy for my taste so she got a nice boil dip. What do you think?
Here is the before picture way back when I got her.
After the dip it's so sleek and shiny! Only thing is I'm having trouble getting her little crown to stay on so be thinking of that if you haven't taken the rubber band off her crown yet.
Holly and Poppy show off their new styles! (If you remember a few posts ago, I gave Poppy a hair wash to get the gel gunk out.)
Well, that's all for today. I have another post ready to go and it will be popping up Wednesday morning. See you then!
Hi Dolly Friends!
Not much time to type today as baby is getting ready to eat! But for a few minutes he is content with Daddy and I get a free moment to show you my newest addition to my growing Ever After High collection.
I recently purchased something from Amazon and if you spend $35, you get free shipping. So I had to tack a little more onto the purchase and a naturally new dolly seemed like a great choice.
The only problem was, which EAH doll to purchase? They had 5 out that I do not have but I could only get one.
The most beautiful...Darling Charming!
As I looked over the 5 I have yet to get, she caught my eye from the get-go. And I love her story.
Darling is the twin sister of brother Dexter and younger sister of Daring. She comes from a long line of Royals but this girl is a Rebel! Why? Because instead of being the damsel in distress, she wants to be the knight in shining armor!
She has a pretty face with a beauty mark and her makeup is in blue and purple tones.
Sticking to the knight theme, she has accents of silver shown by her tiara. It also has a pink feather, bow and heart design. Again, we have a headpiece that is mostly pink. I may have to doctor this one up like I did with Duchess.
I love the silver/blue theme she has going on. Her dress is really pretty but the focal point is the fact that she wears a breastplate of armor that comes around her waist. The armor does have a dainty feel with the jewels and flower design. Her dress seems to resemble Ashlynn's so you don't get much leg movement with Darling.
Her armor also has shoulder plates sticking true to the fact that she is determined to be the knight! I do love the detail on it.
She has a simple non-functioning silver purse with filigree designs. The edge resembles her shoulder plates.
Darling wears a bracelet/ring combo with a flower on the ring part.
The SHOES!
Oh my goodness, love these!
They have that element of armor in them but also a little girly with the ruffles. You can see gems in the front of them, I may have to paint them as sapphires.
Like the armor and purse, awesome detail. They have studs and the heel is tiered like the shoulder plates. Don't you love them?
Darling has blue accents in her hair which I love with the blonde. It's in a very simple but elegant design. Her hair is going to take some more fixing up as it was very squished in the box.
So there you have it. Miss Darling Charming! I will have to say she is definitely one of the prettiest EAH dolls I have. And I just love her!
Mattel has been coming out with a bunch of new 1st wave EAH dolls. Yet to add to my collection:
Alistair Wonderland
Bunny Blanc
Rosabella Beauty
Faybelle Thorn
And the newest: Justine Dancer! (Daughter of the 12th Dancing Princess)
Don't you love her (and her peep-toe shoes?)

So friends, do you have Darling Charming in your collection? Plan on getting her? Or maybe Justine Dancer or the others? Let me know in the comments!
Not sure when I'll have a new post. I do have some more fabulous Dad garage sale finds. I'll get them up soon!
Until next time!
