Beautiful Sleep

The best naps happen on the garden bench.

This Blythe doll is Spright Beauty. One of my favorite things about her are her sleep eyes. I also love her two-tone hair, her eyelid color, and her pink lashes. She's really a special doll.

This picture is for the theme "Where do you sleep?" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

Happy Trio

Blythe dolls, you make me happy.

Snowflake Sonata, Mandy Cotton Candy, and Spright Beauty for the theme "Trio" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

April 2019 Calendar Page

It's almost April, so I've updated the calendar page on my phone's lock screen. This lovely Blythe doll is Spright Beauty. If you like this picture, feel free to use it on your phone too! The second picture shows how it appears on my phone. 

Winter's End

Enjoy that hot chocolate while you can, Maisy...spring is right around the corner!

I decided to do one last "winter" themed picture before packing away the Blythe's cold-weather props. Spright Beauty is my only stock doll with sleep eyes, so she is the perfect model for this shot. The mug is from an Our Generation dolls play set. 

Is It Christmas Yet?

Santa Claus is coming to town!

These Blythe dolls are Cream Cheese & Jam, Spright Beauty, and Cadence Majorette. Aren't they pretty in their pastel holiday outfits? Thank you Angie for the gift of the cute Frosty Frock stock outfit (in the middle), I love it!

Here at my house, I've put up the Christmas tree in the living room, and the lights on the front door and the bushes along the front walk. I still need to decorate the mantel in the family room; then most of the preparations will be complete. I'm really enjoying taking Christmas-themed pictures of my dolls this week. I just hope I don't run out of ideas--or Christmas spirit--before the day actually arrives!

Halloween Wish

The Neo Blythe is Spright Beauty; the Middie Blythe is Francoise Ananassa. The half-naked boys are Sonny Angels from this year's Halloween collection; aren't they cute? I love that they are in pastel colors; that's what inspired me to use pink-haired girls in this Halloween picture. The black cat girl in the front is a Lalaloopsy mini from a few years ago. 

Happiness

Happiness is a warm kitty.

This is Maisy, my Spright Beauty Blythe doll. She is the only one of my stock dolls who came with sleep eyes, so she was the obvious choice for this picture, for the theme "pets."

Wubba Wednesday

Are you still looking for the perfect gift for that special someone? Maisy would like to suggest a big basket of wubba chikins. They are guaranteed to bring a smile to any face, or your money back.

She is, of course, Spright Beauty.

BlytheCon Brooklyn Raffle Prizes

At the end of my last post I teased you with a picture of me clutching this box in glee...and one reader actually knows what's inside. Colette messaged me to say that she suspects that it contains a set of bedding, and an actual bed, from Florence and Taylor on Etsy, and she is correct!

Look at how gorgeous this is!! Layer upon layer of soft and beautiful covers, and a lot of matching pillows, two of which have Brooklyn and BlytheCon images on them. The color scheme is so soft and pretty. 

The bed is quite lovely too, with the tufted headboard. What you can't see is that the set also includes a perfect little mattress. I wish I could sleep in this bed, but I have to leave it to my Blythes. Maisy, my Spright Beauty, seems to love it.

I still can't believe I won this fabulous gift. Thank you Abi Monroe!

But wait--there's more! I won another prize in the raffle drawing: this very cute Blythe-sized bicycle. It's pink! Perfect! Bridget (Allegra Champagne) will be the first to give it a try. 

It's hard to believe, but I still need to make another post to show you the rest of the loot I got from BlytheCon Brooklyn. My goody bag was full of fun little things that I want to show off. 

Ethereal Beauty

This is Maisy, my Spright Beauty. She is the most unique Blythe in my collection. Some of my other dolls have pink hair, or translucent skin, or pale coloring...but none of them have PINK EYELASHES! That's what I love the most about her! I also love that she came with stock sleep eyes.  

Pink Hair

I recently posted a picture of my blue-haired Blythes; today I am pleased to present my pink-haired girls. I've added their stock name abbreviation under each one, and just for clarity, I will write them out below. The abbreviations I used came from the app called "My Dolly Collection for Blythe"--I've noticed that different people sometimes use different abbreviations, which can be confusing. This app is the first thing I've found that conveniently lists every Neo Blythe (even the very newest, not yet released dolls!) in an easy-to-navigate app for my phone and iPad. It is a work in progress; future updates will allow you catalog your personal collection (I can't wait!) 

I've left out my peach-haired girls from this line-up...the difference between peach and pink can be quite subtle, so I understand that some people might classify them differently. I was going to include Dainty Biscuit, and I actually took a picture with her in the group, but she just didn't look right and I had to take her out--even though her hair is officially "pink". Another confusing moment came when I realized that Prima Dolly Peach has pink hair! That's her, second from the right. 

Here are their stock names, from left to right:

My Melody X Blythe--Softly Cuddle You and Me
Snowflake Sonata
Ichigo Heaven
Prima Dolly London
Prima Dolly Peony
Charlotte de Fleurs
Sprite (sometimes spelled Spright) Beauty 
Prima Dolly Peach
My Little Candy

Best Friends Forever

There is nothing on this earth
more to be prized 
than true friendship. 

--Thomas Aquinas

For the theme "casual": Maisy (Spright Beauty) keeps it casual with a simple dress. Pants-less Sonny Angel is ALWAYS the epitome of casual.

Spright Beauty

Blue Bear

I belong to a group on Facebook called "Blythe Pay it Forward", and I recently won a giveaway there--yay!  The prize is this cute blue teddy bear made by Maria van Bruggen, aka Blythe Fairy Tales on Etsy.  Maisy quickly grabbed him before any of the other girls had a chance. Thank you, Maria!

She was still clutching him when she fell asleep.

Maisy is my Spright Beauty Blythe doll. She is one of the few stock Blythe dolls who have "sleep eyes"...she has an extra string that you pull to make her eyelids stay closed.

Dreaming

Maisy dreams of becoming an art doll.

The Beauty of Nature

Blythe a Day May 25, 2015
The Beauty of Nature


A natural beauty, enjoying the beauty of nature.

This is Maisy, my newest girl who is a Spright Beauty Blythe doll. I pre-ordered her from CC Toys based on her pre-release drawing (I'm a sucker for the pink haired girls, plus, she has sleep eyes--which means she has two strings instead of one, one of which closes her lids and changes the eyes, the second of which opens the lids). When I saw actual photos of her I was a bit worried...she is "translucent", so her face tends to look very shiny and a little strange in photos. But all is well because she is gorgeous in person, and she is my new favorite doll!
