My Favorite Sandwich

There’s bread, and then there’s THIS bread. 

This Blythe doll is Cloud 9 Bowl wearing Candy Carnival’s stock dress. The darling sandwich is from Violetpi on Etsy. This picture is for the theme “Bread” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Birthday!

Katherine is just popping up to say “Happy birthday!” to anyone who was born today!

This Blythe doll is Lovely Katherine’s Corner, posing for the theme “Blythe’s birthday” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. The colors are more intense from editing…her hair isn’t really this deep a shade of pink.

The cake she’s popping out of is a coloring page from the books “Rooms of Wonder” by Johanna Basford. I colored it and cut it out just to use in this picture.

Turtle Time

News flash: it’s Turtle Day at the Blytheville Zoo! Come on down, and you can ride the giant tortoise (if Finlee will ever let someone else have a turn.)

This picture is for the theme “My newest doll” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. She is Fighting Milk Saranghae. I chose the name Finlee for her because it starts with the same two letters as her stock name, making it easy to remember! 

Are you wondering about the turtle? I love how he looks! Would you believe that he is from a coloring page? He was part of a free page offer by a publisher in a coloring group on Facebook; it’s from a book by Khatiba Press on Etsy. I colored him and cut away the background on the page, so Finlee could sit on his back. The full page is below.

Hansel and Gretel

“If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales.” —Albert Einstein

So, I spoke too soon when said it is hard to use Vera Florentine’s Pinocchio-themed stock outfit in doll pictures. Today it is perfect on Good Neighbor Cafe as she portrays Hansel! I switched the lacy-collared shirt for this simpler one from Simply Mango’s stock outfit, and pulled her hair up under her hat to make her look more like a boy. Cousin Olivia is posing as Gretel in Winterish Allure’s stock outfit. This picture is for the theme “Hansel and Gretel” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr. 

I just re-read “Hansel and Gretel” and it is quite a horrifying story!

Throwback

Today’s theme, “What did you post on May 27, 2022?” was a chance to remember how much I enjoyed putting together a series of color-themed jigsaw puzzles last year. After they were complete,  I used packing tape on the back of each one, then took a picture of the puzzle with a Blythe doll on it. I posted the yellow one on this date last year, so this week I got the puzzle out again, and took a new picture with it and three of my girls. These Blythe dolls are, left to right, Ice Rune, Playful Raindrops, and Mrs. Retro Mama. Last year’s picture is below this new one, featuring Prima Dolly Marigold.

Rainy Day

Attitude is everything.

These three Blythe dolls are Playful Raindrops, UFO A Go Go, and Vera Florentine, posing on a chalkboard flat lay for the theme “Rainy Day” in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.

Flower Power

 Bloom. Grow. Blossom.

This Blythe doll is Float Away Dream. Doesn’t she look amazing wearing Junie Moonie Cutie’s stock dress? This picture is for the theme Flower Power in the Blythe a Day group on Flickr.
