Pretty Portrait



She really is as pretty as a picture.


What do you do with your favorite doll pictures after you have posted them online? I like to turn them into post cards. This Blythe doll is Allegra Champagne posing with a post card of herself from a picture I took a couple of years ago.

Rainy Day Blues


It's raining, but you still have to walk the dog. 

This Blythe doll is Vera Florentine wearing Nicky Lad's stock outfit (which I've had for ages and never used before. It's really cute, especially the slicker. The umbrella came from somewhere else...I don't remember where.) This picture is for the theme "Rainy Day Blues" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. The one advantage of the very wet weather we've had this week is that I was able to take this picture!

Teddy Bear Picnic


There are few things as pleasant as a picnic eaten in perfect comfort.                         --W. Somerset Maugham





As a child, I loved stuffed animals, but I had kitties and bunnies rather than bears--so I've never had or attended a teddy bear picnic before. Is that weird? 

These dolls are: on the far left, Middie Lena Elena; then Cinema Princess, Asha Alvira, and Sea Sailor See. The table and food are for Our Generation Dolls at Target. This picture is for the theme "Teddy Bear Picnic" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Float


My soul is full of longing for the secret of the sea, and the heart of the great ocean sends a thrilling pulse through me.       --Henry Wadsworth Longfellow 


This Blythe doll is Prima Dolly Peony for the theme "Things that Float" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Book Report


Oh, the unparalleled agony of trying to write a book report on a novel that she neither enjoyed nor understood. At least it was fun using the antique typewriter.

This doll is Raspberry Sorbet, posing for the theme "Bloomsday" in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. I had never heard of Bloomsday before so I looked it up. It's an annual celebration of the life of James Joyce, on June 16th--the day his novel Ulysses (set in 1904) takes place. The protagonist is named Leopold Bloom, hence the name Bloomsday. I've never read Ulysses, but I found it for free on Amazon for Kindle, so I downloaded it and will try to find out what all the fuss is about, because I also found out that it is considered by many to be the greatest novel of the 20th century! The things I learn while photographing my dolls!
