We celebrate Easter, after a fashion

We celebrate Spring, get out all our flower dresses, open up our Easter basket full of eggs, bunnies, baskets... Our Picket Fence background is set up and then... a flow of dolls and stories! Iplehouse Asa here, has kept to herself. We rarely saw her for months. I was really impressed with Asa this week! She emerged and made the rounds of all the dolls. The dollies were delighted! Hugs all around. Wow. They call her Umunni, which sounds like "mother" in Korean. Asa is from Korea. Asa even...

Pachom sent the boys more clothes! Wow...

Scout has heard that some clothes arrived for the boys, from Pachom. If it's true she's calling dibs on some for Badger. Badger has been wearing the old green overalls that Will came in. Well, Scout got him to wear them back in December to do some work for her. He didn't mind! She's off to find out...

Gabby, off her feet...

Dolltown First Aid couldn't do much for Gabby. The problem is inside her, loose strings probably. Something we haven't tackled here yet. Uh oh. And it tough on Gabby. She's so used to being...active. (Can anyone say ADHD?). She is enjoying the attention though. And she likes that she gets her own chair. I heard her telling the dollies, "You can call me Gabriella. Princess Gabriella..." But she keeps falling out of the chair! Here Eve came along and helped her. Then Scout showed up and Eve told...

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter, everyone! Easter to us in Dolltown means Spring, blue skies, flowers, pastels, bunnies, eggs, decorating eggs, candy eggs... And Easter Egg Hunts, a real favorite! The doll children heard about a fun game I instigated with groups of older human children in my care, at Easter parties... Get dressed DOWN, not up Line up with a partner, facing across from each other Start close to each other Toss a raw egg to your partner, WITHOUT BREAKING IT! Successful? Both take a step back Repeat...

But What's Wrong With Gabby?

Here's the children, but where's Gabby? She was here to meet Whoopi...but something was wrong! Gabby had trouble standing up and holding her pose for the photos with the girls and Whoopi. After the last photo shoot she fell to the ground. Shasta had to go and get help. Big Hal carried Gabby to Dolltown's First Aid Room....

Welcome to Dolltown, Whoopi!

Cute Berenguer dolly, Whoopi, showed up in Dolltown the other day, soon after we were wishing for a little more diversity. Since the dollies always go to Magic Barbie to tell her their wishes they are sure that she was the one responsible for Whoopi's arrival. Also, Magic Barbie, our Faye, is the one taking her around to introduce her to the other dollies. Little Darlings Xennia and Faith found little Whoopi a pretty dress to wear while her own pink track suit gets washed. Then Faye and Xennia...

Last March, the Terri Lees...

These photos are from last March, at Terri's birthday celebration at The River. There was a picnic with lots of food! Switching the heads on two of the Ellowynes recently reminded me that my two vintage Terri Lees are still in pieces in a covered basket.... We miss them! They are like the grandmothers of Dolltown. We need our elders! Sure, the Terri Lees may have baby faces to those who are not used to them. But they are definitely FULL of experience! And the children flock to them! Nice broad...

Body Change for our Ellowynes

2015 Winter photo shoot last year... Bandy arrived with flat feet and stained legs. Noddy overheard her complaining, wishing she could wear high heels like the other girls and worrying about summer and bare leg dressing... It got Noddy thinking!
