Tea for Two


Having tea together is such a friendly thing to do. 


These girls are Sadie Sprinkle (left) and Allegra Champagne (right.) Their hair is the same color (any differences in this photo are due to lighting, I think), so I wanted to put them together for a comparison photo. They are wearing the stock dresses from Coco Collette and Junie Moonie Cutie. This picture is for the theme "Tea for Two" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Hello Carrot



When she harvested the last carrot, Ellie got a big surprise.



This is Ichigo Heaven posing for the theme "Hello Harvest" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I got a whole box full of these little carrots (without faces) before Easter; they are meant to be decorative "table scatter," but they make great dolly vegetables...and maybe, dolly friends!

Skate Date in Beijing



With their hearts set on the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, these girls are on the ice morning, noon, and night. 


For the theme "Skate Date," (in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr) I rounded up my three girls who came dressed as ice skaters, and added Prima Dolly Marigold to the mix because I have an extra skating costume...which happens to be from Skate Date herself! My dolly friend Susan gifted me the Skate Date stock along with a lot of other Blythe clothes recently. Thanks Susan! 

They are, from left to right: Prima Dolly Marigold, Simply Bubble Boom, Simply Sparkly Spark, and Simply Thumpty Thump.

Sunday Best



Oh dear. She's spent so much time dithering about the hat--"Should I wear it or not?"--that now she's going to be late for church. 



This is Anna Sui for the theme "Sunday Best" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. Her dress is by Endangered Sissy, and her hat is actually the stock hat from Sunday Best; it's the only piece of her stock outfit that we have...thanks again to my dolly friend Susan, who included the hat in a lovely box full of Blythe clothes she sent to me recently. I love the little veil! And the feather! 

Did you notice how funny Anna's reflection is in the mirror? It makes me laugh to see her beautiful face so distorted!

Cute and Curious



"I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious."
                                         --Albert Einstein



Stella Serendipitous is both cute and curious as she conducts her experiments using a science set made for Our Generation dolls (similar to American Girl dolls.) For the theme "Cute and Curious" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Peace





This is I Love You It's True. She was the third Blythe I bought, back in 2013, and I rarely photograph her any more, because, compared to my more recent acquisitions, she is a bit plain...but she makes a great hippie, so she is perfect for this picture! For the theme "Bohemian Peace" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Cherry Much




Cinema Princess strikes a pose for the theme "Red Delicious" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I'm so pleased with how this picture turned out that I think I will turn it into a greeting card.

Victorian





While looking for a quote to go with this photo, I learned a little about this poet: "Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, FRS (6 August 1809 – 6 October 1892) was Poet Laureate of Great Britain and Ireland during much of Queen Victoria's reign and remains one of the most popular British poets." (From Wikipedia.)

Leopard Sass



Live the full life of the mind, exhilarated by new ideas, intoxicated by the romance of the unusual.
                                                                                                   --Ernest Hemingway



This is Milky Way Sugar (I call her Eve) posing for the theme "Leopard Sass." I was shocked to discover that my Blythe dolls don't have any item of clothing with a leopard print! Luckily I found this interesting piece of fabric in my sewing room, which just happens to have a picture of a leopard on it. 

Eve is wearing the stock outfit from Mondrian, which was recently gifted to me, along with a lot of other Blythe clothes, by a sweet dolly friend. Thanks again, Susan!

Cotton Candy Carnival



Walking home after the carnival, they both agreed that it was the best one they had ever attended. 



I love Candy Carnival's blue hair so much, I bought her twice--once NRFB, and once used with no stock. Between the two of them they are showing off almost all of her stock items (I realized after I took the picture that this is the wrong basket--it should be round and white--and neither of them is wearing the white ankle socks. She also has some very nice undergarments.) The cotton candy was a swap gift, and I added the wubba chikens just for fun. I think it's funny that she comes with one stock outfit, but there are three things to wear on her head: the straw hat, the "carnival" headband, and a pair of green and white hair bows.

Summer in the Country


My name is Bonnie, but my friends call me Lucky. See why?



She is Raspberry Sorbet, wearing Country Summer's stock dress, for the theme "Country Summer" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. The inspiration for this picture came when I found this four-leaf clover in the yard...I quickly got Bonnie dressed and we went out on the back porch...I took several shots of her, and then called it quits because it was HOT out there. When I looked at the pictures on the computer, I was sorry to see that none of them showed the clover in it's true glory; you can just barely make our the fourth leaf above Bonnie's hand.

All Gold in One



"Color is the place where our brain and the universe meet."
                               --Paul Klee



Mrs. Retro Mama really has no choice: with hair like sunshine, yellow MUST be her favorite color! This picture is for the theme "All Gold in One," which is why she is wearing Goldie's jumpsuit. I started by looking for gold accessories to go with the theme, but I quickly realized that the jumpsuit is really more yellow than gold, which dictated my choice of doll and props.

BFF's



"My best friend is the BEST best friend. I'm so lucky it's YOU."
                              --quote from Momiji black cat "Best Friends"


This is Simply Lilac with her Momiji cat, Best Friends. My artist daughter drew the background for me for Mother's Day last year. This picture is for the theme "Meowsy Wowsy" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Punk Rock Bride



She's seen a lot in her 46 years, but when Jane picked up a magazine and saw a punk rock bride photo shoot that took place in Paris, that was the day she declared that she had finally seen everything. 



Jane is my Kenner Blythe doll. One of my favorite things about her is the surprised look she has when I roll her eyes down just a tiny bit. This picture is for the theme "Punkaholic People" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Sunshine Holiday



I got this card from Tillie in the mail today. I wish I was there too!

I actually have been to Hawaii a couple of times. My parents moved there for my father's work (he worked for the Federal Aviation Administration) when I was in college, and I got to visit them at Christmas, so I know first-hand how fabulous it is there!

Tillie is my Simply Bubble Boom Blythe doll. Her hair lights up every picture she's in! This is for the theme "Sunshine Holiday" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Cappuccino



Promise finds that her morning cappuccino tastes best when she drinks it from a big mug with her picture on it. 



Promise is Lil' Heart by Milk. She's wearing her stock dress and slippers. I had the mug made Shutterfly using several of my doll pictures. It's my favorite mug! This picture is for the theme "Cappuccino Chat" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Magical Afternoon



As always, the annual Summer Kickoff Party was a magical afternoon of friends, food, and fun.


Chocolat Blythe takes charge of the grill, while Nellie Nibbles looks doubtful about Lalaloopsy's ability to eat that whole hot dog. For the theme "White Magic Afternoon" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Bunny Love



Weeks of planning are about to pay off with Vera catching her very own pet bunny.


This is Vera Florentine with a rabbit trap she made herself with instructions she found on the internet. The bunny is by Schleich. This picture is for the theme "Honey Bunny" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Kozy Kape



While everyone else was enjoying the warm weather, Gerda (aka The Snow Queen) had only one thought:

"Will winter...never...come???"



Wearing her stock cape, Gerda Eternity is playing the title role in this photo for the theme "Kozy Kape" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. In the background are Middie Nellie Nibbles and Neo Chocolat Blythe. Do you like the dolly-size grill in the background? I found it recently at Target for just a couple of dollars.

A Pineapple Princess


The old saying should be changed to "A pineapple a day keeps the doctor away," because Gidget eats this fruit regularly, and she has never been to a physician!




Don't let her fool you--Gidget is not Pineapple Princess, but Cherry Beach Sunset in Pineapple Princess's stock outfit.

Bling Bling Party Fur



I'm here--let's get this party started!


With the help of her gold jumpsuit, sparkly disco ball, and big fur coat, Bow Wow Trad has no trouble pulling off the theme "Bling Bling Party Fur" (for the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.)

The disco ball was in the goodie bag I got at Blythe Con Brooklyn in 2017. Cute, right? The coat is from Barbie.

This gold jumpsuit from All Gold in One is a piece of stock clothing my friend Susan sent me a while ago. I love it so much, and I was so happy to see that today's theme would be the perfect time to showcase it. Thanks again, Susan!

Home Sweet Home


Jill loves to do needlework...and she loves her home.



This is the stock Blythe doll called Home Sweet Home, for the theme of the same name in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. She's wearing Coco Collette's stock dress.  I didn't realize I had so many house/home props until I started pulling them together for this picture! The samplers on the wall are just paper, printed from the internet.
