Hi!
As I mentioned before I was tagged for these fun questions for World Doll Day. Unfortunately with a newborn and, you know, sleep...I was unable to get to this post until the next day. :)
I was tagged by Kewpie83 at Confessions Of A Doll Collectors Daughter and BarbieLea at Barbie Beauties. If you have not checked out their blogs yet, go do it! They have amazing pictures and collections.
The first question was to name 3 favorite dolls that I acquired in the past year.
1. This girl inspired my love of Ever After High.
The most beautiful Ashlynn Ella. She is my favorite of the Ever After High Dolls (although Ginger Breadhouse and Raven Queen both run a close second!) I bought her almost exactly one year ago when they had a super sale at Target and then I slowly (and at times quickly!) purchased the rest of the first wave.
2. My first Midge!
I received my very first Midge for Christmas this year. She is the California Dream Midge, a line I absolutely love! I was so excited. Growing up I received a lot of Barbie (because I have blonde hair) and Teresa (because that's my name). I never got a lot of Midge or Ken or Christie or the others. So getting my first Midge was awesome.
3. This doll was on my dolly wish list for a LONG time.
California Dream Barbie. I was SO excited to get her. I wanted her since I was a kid and now I finally have her! I also received the Teresa doll my parents found at a garage sale. Now I just need Ken and Christie to complete my California Dream set!
Next question is - 3 dolls on my dolly wish list.
1. Another doll that has been on my list for a LONG time.

Dance Club Barbie. I just love her! She is not too expensive, not sure why I haven't picked her up yet. (Oh I know, I spend all my money on EAH dolls!) I think what I like about her is the socks with the pumps. So 80's!
2. I'm a HUGE Lord of the Rings fan.

Arwen and Aragorn. LOVE LOVE LOVE. I would love to get these someday. Just beautiful. And so accurate!
3. A unique doll but because I can't go to SDCC.

Cerise Wolf. They seem to be in a trend of releasing a special EAH doll at the San Diego Comic-Con. The one this year is AMAZING but this one I just can't get over. I would love to put her in my collection!
I'm supposed to tag other bloggers but I think at this point they've already been tagged. So what I'm doing is tagging YOU! Let me know in the comments what are the three favorite dolls you acquired this year and three dolls on your dolly wish list.
New post coming up in a few days! :) See you then!
Hi friends!
I'm back! And I feel that life for me has started to slow down just a tad. Holidays are over, all the Christmas decorations are down and put away, and now settling into turning my office into a nursery!
Which means....
The Barbie shelf is going away. SAD!
More sad!
But there is a light at the end of the tunnel. In a short couple of years, we will have a new house. Which then I will have my own office. And the hubby said that I could have displayed AS MANY DOLLS AS I WANT TO. Now THAT is exciting! But I'll still have my dolly projects and incredible finds to share with you. I'm not going anywhere!
I was excited to find this under the tree. She has been on my dolly wish list for FOREVER.
1988 California Dream Barbie
*squee* I had such a hard time keeping the secret when I shared my last post. Her (and Dance Club Barbie) have been on my wish list and now I finally have her! L.O.V.E.
Ah, the classic 90's face. Her bangs needed a little fix up and they are styled really strange. They are in a ponytail and then flared out. They were a mess in the box so naturally (and since the box was open) she came out and got a little bit of style. And like our friend Glitter Hair Barbie, she has palm tree earrings.
Super cute outfit with a hot bathing suit too! She is so "California"-ish. And she even comes with a little camera. Unfortunately she has "sticky legs" too! I wonder why my Teresa doll doesn't. Maybe because her packaging was immaculate while Midge and Barbie had less-than-stellar packaging that had gotten damaged through the years.
Barbie comes with her own comic book called "The Treasure Map." It's actually a pretty cute read.
And look what it has! Still the original record of the song "Living Doll" written just for Barbie by a favorite band of mine, The Beach Boys!
My mom looked at the doll and contents on Christmas and started laughing like crazy when she saw this record. It's not a "real" record. It's just flimsy plastic and she was wondering how a record player could even play it. I'm not sure either but I do have a record player and I'll find out someday. I'm sure you could also search YouTube for the song as well!
So now, I had to get a picture of all three of the girls together.
I love them. And I can't wait to get them off the cardboard and display them with a pool (which I still have yet to get.) And I'm also looking to possibly get the Ken and Christie for the set. I have NEVER had a complete set of one line of dolls. This would be the first and I'm so excited to see what I can come up with!
And then maybe get her too because, well, the socks with the high heels always got me.

Another fun dolly post coming soon. Until then!
