Doll Dressmakers

A new-to-us dolly dressmaker, Kalen, has been added to our Favorites List of fashion choices. These two warm jumper outfits arrived from her the other day, just before I changed my Little Darlings into their Christmas dresses. It was hard to take these adorable clothes off and switch them out for some red and greens, holly and snowflake themed clothes. And I lOVE Christmas dresses. But it's a long winter here so the fine wale purple corduroy and the brushed cotton plaid jumpers will be in use...

Dolltown Community Dolls...

We had a photo shoot at the Community Center. These dolls were happy to get out of their baskets and see a little action. We wanted profile pics for the dolls' resumes. We like to keep their curriculum vitae updated to give the dollies the best chance for the best assignments and roles....

Ana...to Eve

Before... As herself- Ana, the UFDC Shared Passions 2014 Convention doll. She was my 1st Little Darling and I just love her. But once Zoey arrived, Ana's prototype, it freed me up to experiment.

It's November 11 today. We stop and think about all the people, creatures, land...past and present...involved in conflict. And peace. Take care of each other... What a comfort dolls are to little children during scary times. Dolls help...

Christmas play...what?!

Tink, Tink, Tink... What are we going to do with you? You got to wear Alison's fabulous Fall outfit first. Someone said you looked like an elf. Then someone said we should have elves in the Christmas play. And here you are, ready. You are going back to school to study Time, Calendars, and the concept of Waiting. And change into your school clothes so another dolly can try on that outfit! Thank you Alison Austin! We love this mix of felt, cotton, leather, beads, and decorative metal closures!...

Ana and Tink on a Trip to Salt Spring Island

How lucky are these two dollies! They were invited on a trip to Salt Spring Island, off the coast of beautiful BC. Aunt Jacalyn was on a jaunt and decided she could handle a troop of dollies. Well, four. Barbie and Matt got to go too. But that's another story! It was very exciting for Ana and Tink. They saw sights like the Pacific Ocean for the first time....

Fashion in Dolltown...

Doll collecting! For some, that means once you have a doll, pristine and new (or even second hand), that means all you have to do is find a dark space with no dust. No dress changes. No accommodating seasonal weather. No photo adventure shoots requiring jeans and a Tshirt.... But for some of us, collecting dolls means that almost every doll gets clothes, clothes for spring, summer, fall, and winter. At least for those of us in four season climates. And the dolls need some special outfits, like...
