Down, down, down. Would the fall never come to an end?
Her fall has not come to an end, but the month of Alice has. Inexplicably, my final photo is of Alice at the beginning of her story! I just go where my inspiration leads me. This Blythe doll is Fani Flamingo for “Alice” on Facebook. This picture is a chalkboard flat lay.
Now, into August we go, full of excitement for the double theme “Summertime/Back to School”! See you tomorrow!
If the key fits…
Today’s Alice is my Kenner Blythe doll, Jane. She’s in good shape for her age of 53. For “Alice” on Facebook.
“Thanks for being here today, everybody, you’re a great audience! We’re The Traveling Alices, and we play the songs you want to hear!”
These Blythe dolls are Playful Raindrops, Mandy Cotton Candy, and Odette Lake of Tears for “Alice” on Facebook and “Turtles” on Flickr. As this month of Alice in Wonderland draws to a close, I thought it would be fun to make a couple of pictures using all three of the Alice dresses that we have (this is the first of two).
You seem to be in a hurry…what’s the rush?
This Blythe doll is Hello Arden for “Alice” on Facebook and “Rabbits “ on Flickr. The rabbit holding the watch is from a blind box series called Migo Little Troublemaker. The background is a poster.
“Do you suppose she’s a wildflower?”
This Blythe doll is Playful Raindrops for “Alice” on Facebook. I chose this puzzle for the background because it is full of big, colorful flowers, but it hardly shows after I added extra flowers in front!
Good news for those with aching feet: Dr. Alice Blythe, a board certified podiatrist, is currently accepting new patients! Call for your appointment today!

I’m tired of tea! Today, we’re having a CHEESE party!

Surround yourself with people who make your heart smile.
This Neo Blythe doll is Cadence Majorette, with Petite Marmalade Heart. The two Tweedles are blind box figures called Baby Three (my daughter let me borrow them for this picture!) This is for “Alice” on Facebook.
As Alice stopped to play in the water with some friendly frogs, she let her cares drift away.
This Blythe doll is Cadence Majorette, with two Wonder Frogs, for “Alice” on Facebook and “Frogs” on Flickr. I just love my Wonder Frogs! The yellow one is new. I don’t have many clothes specifically for them, so they are wearing Blythe shirts for now.
“Gather around, everyone, and I will read you a story.”
This Blythe doll is Zoe and Her Pet Fish, along with Mary Ann, Marmalade Heart, and an assortment of friends, for “Alice” on Facebook and “Fox” on Flickr.
We’re going on an adventure!
These Blythe dolls are Zoe and Her Pet Fish (Neo) and Mary Ann (Middie) for “Alice” on Facebook. Mary Ann has been in my doll room for months, and I finally unboxed her because she has an Alice theme and I can’t let her miss out! Isn’t she cute? This Barbie convertible is new to us too; I found it on sale at Target.
And now we move to the entertainment portion of our tea party! Alice will read an original poem that the wrote in honor of her bat friend, Battina:
Would you like to have an adventure now, or shall we have our tea first?
This Neo Blythe doll is Coco Collette, along with Petite Marmelade Heart, for “Alice” on Facebook and “Possum” on Flickr.
When you can’t look on the bright side, I will sit with you in the dark.

“I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have changed several times since then.”

This Blythe doll is Daunting Drusilla as the Red Queen for “Alice” on Facebook and “Flower Crown” on Flickr. The playing card background is a piece of paper party decor.
Lavender ice cream? Now I’ve seen everything! (And I’ve seen some things!)
This Blythe doll is Aurella Amphitrite for “Alice” on Facebook and “Lavender” on Flickr. She was the obvious choice to be today’s Alice, with her lavender hair and eyes. The background is a jigsaw puzzle.
I’m gathering rose hips for tea…would you like some?
This Blythe doll is Fighting Milk Saranghae as Alice, again, because I just love the way she looks in this beautiful outfit! I had to Google rose hips to discover that they are the red berries that are left after roses bloom; I had heard of them before but didn’t know exactly what they were. I learn a lot, taking pictures of my dolls!
All this walking is making me tired! I’ll just rest here on this pumpkin for a minute. I don’t think anyone will mind.
This Blythe doll is Fighting Milk Saranghae for “Alice” on Facebook and “Pumpkin” on Flickr. The background is a poster.
“The secret ingredient in my famous mushroom soup is…an acorn!”
This Neo Blythe doll is Odette Lake of Tears, joined by Petite Blythe Marmalade Heart. This is for “Alice” on Facebook and “Acorn” on Flickr. The background is a jigsaw puzzle. I had to dig deep in my closet to get this cauldron from the Halloween box!
Alice had a successful day of foraging in the woods. Now to make some mushroom soup!

This is so exciting! I’ve never done fireworks before! Happy Independence Day to the USA!

In a world full of princesses, be an Alice.
This Blythe doll is Home Sweet Home wearing the most fabulous dress from MarshmallowHouse on Etsy. The background is a poster. This is for “Alice” on Facebook and “Ferns” on Flickr.
Hello? Is anyone home? I seem to be lost and I need to ask for directions!
This Blythe doll is Home Sweet Home for “Alice” on Facebook and “Mushrooms” on Flickr. Isn’t her dress amazing? It’s from MarshmallowHouse on Etsy. The mushroom house is a coloring page.
I wonder what adventures I will have today?
This Blythe doll is Mermaid Tasha for “Alice” in Blythe World on Facebook and “Deer” in Blythe a Day on Flickr. The frame around her is the packaging from a set of paper props I ordered for the Alice theme. The actual props are rather large (they are meant for party decor) so it might be challenging to find ways to use them.
