A New Beginning

Here is the spot where I've decided to start my inventory of my collection. This should be something..LOL. These are my own notes on my dolls. You may get bored but then again I did say this was for me. If my blathering bores you then by all means move on...really. If you hang around you too will see the madness & joy that is my collection.

I've been a collector since 1995 when I was struck by the Barbie bug. I was walking in TRU looking for a gift for my niece.  Suddenly I spotted a Tropical Miko and I was in love..ahh. She was the 1st beauty to come home with me and then it was on. Now my memory can be off on this since I have so many dolls but I remember picking this gorgeous doll up :O)

Here she is redressed in one of my favorite outfits. I can't remember the name but I love the bodysuit and there was a parka or fur coat as well. I'm sure she'll get dressed in something else when I find the time..ciao for now

Has anyone noticed that Mattel's Creatable World has taken over? Well, I certainly have. So much so that I now own five of their deluxe packages that includes a doll.  They now have single doll packs, deluxe clothing packs, single clothing packs, and wigs too. The deluxe clothing packs have variations from the deluxe packages that includes a doll.  The eight deluxe doll sets Single clothing packs  Deluxe clothes pack  Deluxe clothing pack  Deluxe clothing pack  They have been spotted at Target so far. They may be at Wal-Mart too. I'm not sure.  Have you been seduced by Creatable World?

Candi Girl You Are My World

Image
Like the title say Candi was my world for a moment (cue New Edition). This entry came about as a request from Dana of Philly Collector fame.  I think I saw these ladies in another collectors pictures on one of my doll boards. I had to ask the question and so it began. Candi was a quick detour in my collecting.   My sister-in-law Denise had a couple and I fell more in love. She eventually gave me a couple of hers. I started buying them from Paul David's (huge doll seller). I loved the work of Mikelman on these dolls and fashions. I know the dolls were 1st introduced from Helena Hamilton but Integrity & Mikelman were who I know them from.  I don't remember which was my first but here some of my faves of my collection.

Guess Who?

Hello again.  Is anyone still following? I didn't realize that I haven't updated this blog since May of 2018. I'm really sorry. I've been mostly active on Instagram under @Dollz4moi I'm starting the process of culling my collection. There's still a lot of stuff to go through including that I inherited my sister-in-law's collection. I'm going through the highlights of 2019. My Top Ten. Coming in at number 10 for me is the Drawn to You Misaki and Amelie from the 2017 Integrity Fashion Fairytale convention. Drawn to You Gift Set  I wanted the brunette Amelie from the set. I attended the convention but wasn't drawn to this set (see what I did there, lol). I started seeing her redressed and the hair redone and guess what? Now I needed her. When I started looking She was scarce or priced above what I was willing to pay for her dressed or nude. The set was available in the Integrity shop but I missed it. I kept watch on eBay for a bit. Still c
