Any time is a good time for pie.
These are my two newest dolls: Lovely Katherine’s Corner (Blythe) and Sweetie (Momiji). There was a sale on select Momiji dolls before Christmas—buy one, get one free—and I couldn’t say no! The very beautifully detailed Key Lime pie was a gift from my friend Julie (thanks Julie! I love it!)
Would it be Christmas without a new doll? Not in this house! Lovely Katherine’s Corner (right) joined the Blythe family this week, and she looks like Snowflake Sonata’s long-lost twin. They both have special brown eyelashes, and they both have a pink pull ring, and of course they both have long, gorgeous pink hair with bangs. I have always loved SS and considered getting a second one…I’m glad I held off doing that, because Katherine fills that spot perfectly.
Round up the reindeer—it’s Christmas!
Sea Sailor See and Smiley Waffle donned their reindeer costumes to wish you a very merry Christmas!
Wishing you peace and joy for Christmas.
This Blythe doll is Snowflake Sonata, wearing Gerda Eternity’s stock outfit. This picture is a chalkboard flat lay.
I’ll be home for Christmas…as soon as I figure out how to load these presents, Bingo, and myself onto my scooter!
This Blythe doll is Prima Dolly Peony. The scooter, dog, and houses in the background all came from Target.
For all those who are traveling this week, we wish you a safe and speedy journey.
Get your nutcracker here! We’ve got every size and style you could possibly imagine!
That’s Leading Lady Lucy in the booth, and Hollywood impersonating a nutcracker. I got this fabulous Byer’s Choice nutcracker stand at a big discount last year when a local store was going out of business.
“Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”
This little Santa’s helper is a Littlest Pet Shop Blythe. The sleigh and the elf behind her are part of a Calico Critters play set.
Angels are all around us.
This Blythe doll is Odette Lake of Tears. This simple picture is my favorite type to put together. The formula is: a Blythe doll (wearing a complete outfit) + an interesting background + a coordinating prop = a nice picture.
Making it merry and bright!
This pretty Blythe doll is Enchanted Petal. The background is wrapping paper. For the theme “Christmas flat lay” in the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook.
Selling snowballs on a snowy day…isn’t a great idea. This isn’t working out any better than that time she tried to sell sea shells on the sea shore!
These Blythe dolls are Lady Panacea, Smiley Waffle (Middie), and Cherry Beach Sunset.

“I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.” – Jane Austen in Pride and Prejudice
This Blythe doll is Daunting Drusilla. I found her books at our local antique mall last week; they are meant to be ornaments, but they are perfect dolly books because they have words and images inside, not just blank pages. The background is wrapping paper—isn’t it cute?

Lady Panacea is pulling Middie Francoise Ananassa and a Littlest Pet Shop Petite on a sled we recently found at the antique mall.
It’s not Christmas without cookies!
This Blythe doll is Cinema Princess. The cookie trays are ornaments.
There’s no place like home for the holidays.
This lovely Blythe doll is Spring Hope. My lovely friend Angie Coppi made the super cute kitty cushions on the sofa. She and I exchanged Christmas packages, and she also sent me the pretty candy-striped dress and the dolly-sized cakes, among other things. Thanks Angie!
Yes! Yes I do! I like Christmas! I love Christmas! —A Christmas Carol
Song of London Mary’s stock outfit is so perfect for Christmas time.
“Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee!”
This Blythe doll is Elegant Ellie. We do have a bigger sled that would fit her better, but I thought this mini one made her look cuter!

Who makes the best hot chocolate? Santa’s elves, of course! They made this one just for you.
These are Takara Petites (the blonde is Connie Corneille and the brunette is Tora Unpappa.) The mug is an ornament from World Market. Aren’t their outfits adorable? They are from camillel on Etsy.

The seasons changed from fall to Christmas this week here in Blytheville. Hooray, Christmas is our favorite! This Blythe doll is Lady Panacea, wearing a new outfit we got from IBAOS on Etsy.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Is your Christmas tree up yet?
(This Blythe doll is Cinema Princess.)
Don’t forget to count your blessings! Happy Thanksgiving!
(This Blythe doll is Blue Rabbit.)

“Hey girls, what are you going to make with all those pumpkins?”
“Pumpkin pie, pumpkin soup, stuffed pumpkin, pumpkin fritters, pumpkin cake, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pasta, pumpkin risotto, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin purée…”
Patty Patch and Mod Molly lead the parade, with a Littlest Pet Shop Blythe doll in the wagon bringing up the rear.
Be kind to every living thing.
This beautiful Blythe doll is Picnic Al Fresco. I wanted her to look like a nature girl, with bare feet and little braids in her hair, but it wasn’t working using her own hair. So, I dug up the separate braid that came with Bohemian Beats Again and wrapped it around her head. It worked great! The owl is an ornament, and the background is a poster.
Seek beauty every day.
This Blythe doll is Simply Thumpty Thump wearing Pretty Peony’s stock dress. The dog is an ornament and the background is a poster.
Putting together a few fall outfits, Lady Camillia would like your opinion on something: “Do you think my Autumn Harvest hat is too much?”
All the clothes are stock pieces, except the hat (Elifins) and the handbag (from a mini surprise ball).
Hungry? Have an APPLE! It’s delicious, and so good for you!
This Blythe doll is Minty Magic. The little boy is a Sonny Angel.
"Color! What a deep and mysterious language, the language of dreams." -Paul Gauguin
This Blythe doll is Playful Raindrops. I love doing these Pantone-inspired pictures.
They had so many pumpkins, they decided to try selling homemade pie.
These Blythe dolls are Blue Rabbit (left) and Picnic Al Fresco (right), showing off their pink eye chips and the pie I made from foam clay. For the theme “Hello Pumpkin!” In the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook.
A dolly friend wondered how my new Good Smile Blythe, Blue Rabbit, compares to the 2019 Takara release, Picnic Al Fresco. Here they are, taking a break from selling pumpkins on their family farm. Blue Rabbit is on the right, all in blue. I am shocked that I never before noticed how similar they are (probably because Picnic was at the back of a doll shelf, still wearing the outfit I photographed her in 10 months ago…sorry dear!)
Both dolls have the same hair style and length. Picnic’s hair is a slightly reddish brown. Rabbit’s hair is much thicker (just as thick as the first two Good Smile releases.) I didn’t think of Picnic’s hair as being thin until this comparison. Picnic’s skin tone and makeup are both a bit lighter than Rabbit’s, even though both are described as “fair” and “pink”. Both are lovely.
Hello, Pumpkin!
This Blythe doll is Blue Rabbit, posing for the theme “Hello, Pumpkin!” in the Blythe Pure and Simple group on Facebook.
Happy Halloween to everyone from Mandy Cotton Candy! She’s posing on a jigsaw puzzle I recently finished.
The children of the night all have one thing in common: they LOVE Halloween.
Middie Blythe doll Lena Elena is joined by a pair of Petite Blythes, two Sonny Angels, and a cute assortment of Calico Critters for the theme “Children of the Night” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.
I love candy. I want candy. GIVE ME CANDY!
This Blythe doll is Cloud 9 Bowl for the theme “I Want Candy” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. Isn’t that little plush candy corn the cutest thing? I got him from Hallmark a few years ago.
When they heard the rumor that there might be a psycho killer on the loose on Halloween, the friends decided to band together for safety while trick or treating. Someone suggested they all wear white. So they ended up with a cloud, a mummy, and, not surprisingly, quite a few ghosts. They had a wonderful time on Halloween, and the psycho killer never appeared at all, to the relief of everyone.
This Blythe doll is Tokyo Bright for the theme “Psycho Killer” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.
It looks like there will be no sweet dreams for Miss Sally Rice tonight. For the theme “Sweet Dreams” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.
“I always feel like somebody’s watching me!”
Sarah Shades is so cute…of course all eyes are on her. For the theme “Somebody’s Watching Me” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.
The October “Werewolf Moon” is always disconcerting. Especially when you’re walking through a cemetery. At midnight.

“This is my kind of night! It’s so dark, a girl could totally get lost in the shadows.”

“I call my new broom the Beast of Burden because she can handle a big load.”
Chocolat Blythe, my favorite witch, is posing with some Littlest Pet Shop Blythes for the theme “Beast of Burden” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I didn’t use Takara Petites because they close their eyes when they lie down, and this is a flat lay!
