Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
We all, here at Hiya Dolly, have a lot of gratitude for ALL the people: doll designers, blog writers, doll photographers, and friends and family who do so much to support the work and play here in Dolltown.
We research dolly info and enjoy and participate in other's blogs, social media, and photos. We gather settings, props, wardrobes, and best of all...DOLLS!
We want to take the opportunity to acknowledge a few of those who have supported Hiya Dolly in one way or another over the last year or two, like April at Fashion Doll Stylist!
We want to say THANKS! to our loyal readers and subscribers!
Hiya Dolly has a growing number of weekly newsletter subscribers. Dollygood.News reports on:
- What's New this week in our own Dolltown
- What's New in the Doll World
- What's New in Fashion in Dolltown
And Miley has her own gossip column!
We want to say THANKS! to our blog readers, our Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and Pinterest followers.
And thanks to our fabulous dressmakers, like Pachom Suesuwan, in Montreal.
That's Pachom with Justin Trudeau, Prime Minister of Canada. I'd love to say that Justin is a reader, but...
Dolltown Awards!

Thank you, everyone!
There are so many people: bloggers, dressmakers, prop and setting suppliers, doll designers, photographers and collectors, who we have benefitted from.
Miley and I may have a few more awards to add...
And how did Tink get to do TWO awards, BY HERSELF!? I was trying to be fair...

On behalf of all my girls and guys and myself, thank you sooooooo very much for this award! I am truly touched by both the award and our friendship with you, Jano and all of your darling dollies!!!!! We all enjoy keeping up on the latest news and photos from Dolltown. Your brand of adorableness ALWAYS puts a smile on all our faces (especially mine). Thank you.
Jano (Monday, 04 July 2016 13:13)
Hahaha! Dear April, you are welcome! And just wait for photos! It's coming... :)
April (Saturday, 09 July 2016 11:06)
Well now that the whole post is up......Thank you AGAIN!!!!! This post is just toooooo scrumptious!!! Of course, I'm in love with all you dolls, especially all those little darlings were part of announcing our two awards. Love, love LOVE all the little silver cups and the badges. But that's just part of it. All of the little details from the rug, to the little brocade stand that held the awards, to even the little plants....it's all so perfect. From the links posted here, I see there are others spreading around pictures of my favorite little dollies too! Thank you for your friendship. And thank you for these ENORMOUS doses of delicious adorableness!!!!!!
Jano (Saturday, 09 July 2016 11:36)
Thank you, April! And you are welcome! The dollies love your attention!
This post has been in the works since May, with lots of distractions! And finally, a week's focus to get it done! And although there are several acknowledged here who DO visit Hiya Dolly (of course, especially my Inner Circle people...friends and family) well over half of the others have never been! They don't know how much they have contributed! lol
So this is my own appreciation for the dolls designers, etc, and research over the last year and a half... A record!
Love your noticing of the details! SO much fun.
Now we are all relaxing...and there have been after parties! :)
Lani (Sunday, 10 July 2016 06:25)
Wow! Look at that! That must have been a fun party to throw! Hope the after parties weren't too crazy.
Mischelle (Sunday, 10 July 2016 09:40)
Totally amazing !!! THANK YOU for the awards and I think this calls for another after party More champagne anyone?
Carolyn G (Sunday, 10 July 2016 10:07)
I LOVE your blog and this post is fantastic !! No matter how blue my day might be I know a visit to hiyadolly will put a smile one my face and a song in my heart. Thank you for all your lovely photos/stories.
Jano (Sunday, 10 July 2016 11:21)
Hey! Lani dear, it was fun for sure! Great to think of all the supporters...helping in one way or another (even when they don't know it! Thanks for being there for Hiya Dolly and my 'work' here! And the after parties ARE fun for sure...still happening! lol
Mischelle, good friend! You are so welcome! Do you have any tiny champagne bottles? I can strip down the silver trophies now, back to golden goblets... Oh, you mean for us? Bring it on...and those DQ cupcakes. The dollies are waiting patiently. (sort of)
Carolyn! Thank you for your kind words. Putting a smile on the faces of our visitors, and songs in their hearts, is high praise! Conner returned to Dolltown just in time and I have exchanged the Best Prize photo so we can see your blue skirt set! She looks so cute! See how your sweet outfit is making the rounds? All the girls want a turn! :)
