Time Flies

You might as well have fun!

This Blythe doll is Prima Dolly Violet, posing for the theme "My All Time Doll" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. The cute little alarm clock is part of a play set for Our Generation dolls. The dress she is wearing, which I chose because it looks so FUN, is from Blythe's Big Closet on Etsy. 

Breakfast Debate

It's a new morning, but the same old question: is strawberry jam the best thing on toast, or blueberry preserves?

Precocious Candy's Mushroom and Prima Dolly Violet will probably never agree--and that's okay. To each her own! 

The toast, plate, knife and blueberry preserves are from an Our Generation dolls play set. The strawberry jam is a Shopkins. This picture is for the theme "Strawberry" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Friendship

Jubilee and Heather like to pretend they are old enough to drink, but it's really just grape juice in those wine glasses. 

Simply Thumpty Thump and Prima Dolly Violet.

Blythe Rainbow

For quite some time, I've wanted to redo this picture of a line of rainbow-hued Blythes. I use this picture not only here on my blog, but also as the header for my Etsy shop and on my business cards. When the theme "rainbow" appeared in the Blythe a Day group on flickr this month, I knew the time had come to finally do it!

The picture below may look similar to the one at the top of my blog, but there are two main differences: all the dolls in this new picture are completely stock (because I realized that I prefer the stock Blythes, and that is now the focus of my collection), and their outfits and stands better reflect the rainbow theme. Also, I have become a better photographer and photo editor since the first picture! This new one is brighter and just overall BETTER than the first! I took care to arrange their hair,  arms and legs, and to line them up more carefully than I did the first time. I've come to see how important little details are, like making sure their hair is out of their face, and they are looking at the camera.

My Blythe collection has grown quite a bit since I took the first picture, so I was able to use a different doll for every color...except orange. Cloud 9 Bowl is so perfect for that little slice of the rainbow that she had to make a repeat appearance.

Here are their stock names, from left to right:

Cinema Princess
Cloud 9 Bowl
Mrs. Retro Mama
Prima Dolly Amaryllis
Simply Sparkly Spark
Curly Blue Babe
Prima Dolly Violet

Lace

On their way to church, Heather and Kitty are feeling extra pretty because they are wearing--what else?--their Sunday best. 

These Blythes are Middie Puchippu Chappu Pepa (Kitty) and Neo Blythe Prima Dolly Violet (Heather). Heather is wearing Veronica Lace's stock dress--the most lacy thing we own, and perfect for today's theme, "Lace".

Birthday!

And then I took another picture for this theme:

Ahh, the pleasure of lounging in bed!

The Blythe is Prima Dolly Violet; the little girl is a Lalaloopsy.

Hide and Seek

Hide and Seek


Bonnie is getting annoyed, because this always happens: as soon as there are chores to do, Heather seems to think it's time to play Hide and Seek!

Bonnie (seeking) is my Raspberry Sorbet Blythe doll. Heather (hiding) is my Prima Dolly Violet Blythe doll.

Sign

Show Me a Sign


We never forget where we live, with this sign on display in our family room! I appreciate things that have an "old" look to them, like this sign, but I LOVE things that are bright and shiny, like Blythe!

Who are they? From left to right: Prima Dolly Violet, Prima Dolly Amaryllis, Prima Dolly Peony, Mandy Cotton Candy, Snowflake Sonata, and Ice Rune.

Picture Window

Window or Door

Heather never gets tired of the view out her new picture window. And she's glad she decided to spend the money on the new window, instead of a big-screen TV!

Heather is my prima Dolly Violet Blythe doll.

Mask

Mask

Shhh...Heather is getting her beauty sleep.

Heather is my Prima Dolly Violet. The cute sleep mask came from an Etsy seller called Wheat Penny Jenny (or WP Jenny)...but her store seems to have disappeared. The blue kitty is from Violetpi on Etsy.

Now THAT'S an Easter Egg!

Blythe a Day April 5, 2015 Egg


Heather and Candy teamed up to find the BIGGEST egg at the Blytheville Easter Egg Hunt! Now comes the hard part: carrying it home!

These Blythe dolls are Prima Dolly Violet (Heather) and My Little Candy (Candy). I received this huge, beautiful egg from my husband on Easter a few years ago; it was full of Godiva chocolates!
