Happy 2025!

Here’s hoping that 2025 will be your best year ever!

This Blythe doll is Daunting Drusilla, wearing Allie Gabrielle’s stock dress. The background is metallic wrapping paper. 

This picture wraps up an entire year of posting a Blythe picture every day: Blythe 366! Hooray for me! What will happen next? I want to take a little break, but taking daily dolly pictures has become such a habit, it makes me nervous to think of stopping, even for a few days! So, on I go!

Snow Day

It snowed, and everyone is having fun in the park! Come on, let’s go!

This is my new Christmas Blythe doll, Lavendula Babe. I love her purple hair color, and the medium length is great. Great stock outfit too, especially the parka. The background is a poster that came with a jigsaw puzzle of literary references (which are explained on the back of the poster). For Winter Celebration in Blythe Pure and Simple on Facebook.

Christmas Parade

Everybody loves a parade!

This Neo Blythe is Blue Rabbit; the Middies are Pixie Peaceful and Lena Elena, and the Petites are Littlest Pet Shop Blythes. 

Let me tell you about the background! It is from Byer’s Choice, a company that makes old-fashioned Christmas dolls (which I don’t like) and their accessories (which I do like) for holiday displays. I don’t know when this Williamsburg background was produced, but I have been seeing it at my local antique mall for several years, marked “Not For Sale”. I checked it every time I went, just in case the vendor had changed their mind; and then one day this summer, when I went to the booth where it was located…there was a second one there, that was for sale! I was almost jumping for joy! These houses actually exist here, in the restored area of Williamsburg, Virginia, and they are decorated for Christmas very much like they are in this picture, and I walk past them frequently, so it’s very cool to have a miniature version for my dolls!

Tree Time

This year the Christmas tree is SO VERY TALL that Finlee has to stand on a ladder to add ornaments near the top.

My first Christmas picture of 2024, hooray!! This Blythe doll is Fighting Milk Saranghae, wearing a beautiful dress we just got from Rabbit in the Moon on Etsy. The background is a jigsaw puzzle I just finished…I realized that I need to do Christmas puzzles in November if I want to use them for doll pictures this year, so I managed to get a couple done. The cute hedgehog ornament was a handmade gift from my friend Angie Coppi.
