We Interrupt This Broadcast...


OK so I've gotten your attention..LOL. I finally was able to upload the software for my camera so I can take pics and post..WOOHOO. I figure that I need to get back to what this blog of mine was supposed to be about...MY COLLECTION..hm. Now this is not to say I won't post whatever I want but this was originally supposed to be about inventory of the ladies & gents I want to keep. There are oh so many who are going to leave this year.
Forgive me but until I get some new pics taken I have to rely on my Photobucket pics of some of my goodies. I love several different dolls and collect the ones I like. It takes some time to choose the right doll. I look at the face, the hair, makeup. I don't care too much about the clothes but price. I have several of the playline dolls from the era when playline was better than the collector line of "M". So I will be posting about Barbie, Integrity, & etc. My eclectic tastes work for me at least until I change my mind about it. That can happen quickly around here...LOL
Speaking of Integrity you know my #1 is Adele (pronounced uh-dell for some but I prefer add-uh-lay french you know ;o)  ). I loved this doll from the very first time I spotted her profile in Barbie Bazaar. I waited for a long time to get her and she was so worth the wait. I have almost every one with the exception of a couple I just didn't like..but here she is in so many ways. The photos are from Integrity when they introduced the new dolls. I'm thankful to have saved them. I also have my own pics so you can see the finished product as well

Still here. Are you?

  Hello. How are you all doing? It's been some time, but I felt the need to pop in. No promises that this will last but then anything is possible. I'm still an active doll collector. I thought I would start this blog again with what my intentions were for it from the start. I want to do a true inventory of my dolls. I just need to decide who goes first. Decisions will be made. I can't say a sale, or two goodies won't be included. Let's see how this goes. I need to take some pictures to get started.

Mass Blogger Interview Answers For Ms Leo

I decided to answer Ms. Leo interview questions from   I Luv Dolls . Give it a try I'm interested in your answers too When did you start collecting dolls? Oddly enough I didn't start collecting dolls until my late 20's. My brothers had action figures (Star Wars, GI Joe). What was your first purchase as a collector ? My 1st purchase was Kelly Barbie's littlest sister in her crib. I guess we can say I loved the littlest one (at the time) first. How many dolls do you own? Really not sure at this point but figure I have over 300 Kelly & friends. My Fashion Royalty collection is about 130 - 150 at this point (I haven't inventoried lately). I'm pretty sure Barbie & friends is about 350 or more (remember haven't inventoried in a while). This is just a guesstimate so I will say about 800 including all lines but I may be exaggerating since I've also been selling stuff for a few years now..LOL What is your favorite doll and why? I'm not g...

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.
