Hey! Our plaid kilt skirt girls are on their way to the Schoolroom and who do they find? A Talking Head, who at tScout was close by waiting for her photos when this adorable outfit arrived from Linda at amgirliam on eBay. Lucky girl!he moment has nothing to say... Look! His head is empty! But we hear his agent is preparing to fill his head with ideas! But it's a distraction... Come on girls! On your way! You don't want to be late for your photo shoot... You'll notice Scout is not wearing the...

For our Get Ready for School shoot, all the Little Darlings were lined up and their outfits were chosen. Ahead of time so the chaos of excited little girls didn't distract us too much... But there were immediate problems today because Scout's dress had been scooped by Quilla for a day or two. And Tink had grabbed Rosa's red sweater when she had to get busy looking for Lula's baby... So there were a few stops and starts. Okay! Let's get busy here. The action moves quickly so I think I'll tell...

Now, first of all, you are not going to understand this blog post without a little background. Click here for a short back story. One of Lula's seven New Zealand babies went missing recently during Terri's End-of-Summer Shindig. Several days have gone by and it hasn't shown up... Lula expressed her exasperation to me (ouch) and we doubled down on our search. Which meant that Tink and Xennia switched from hunting for frogs (in school clothes!) to hunting for Lula's baby. And, success! Lost baby...

Tink and Xennia are the first to show up. And Tink looks like she is ready for school, although it's not the outfit Maggie and Jiyoon picked for her...so what's up? Xennia does get her school outfit on. And Jiyoon and Maggie pick their school clothes too...

Okay, I guess we better get serious. Find that baby. Or Lula might ask me to box her up and send her, and the rest of her babies, back to Lani in Australia! I'll send the Guards out. And maybe Tink and Xennia again. I think Xennia and Tink were first to go and get dressed for school at Jiyoon's new Playroom. How did Lula get ready so fast? And why did she want her guitar? To sing "Oh Dolltown" on the first day of school? That guitar has been missing for months. Maybe I can make Lula one out of...

Where did all these horses come from? Once again, a singleton attracts friends. In this case, our daughter Tasya supported Dolltown by sending a beautiful Breyer Chinese Year of the Horse. The pretty one with the colorful designs. A little too small to ride, for most of the dolls, it's treated more as a special pet... Iple Senior Lee asked for a means of getting around Dolltown for his perimeter patrols. So we kept an eye out and sure enough, this big brown horse showed up at Bailey House. And...

Sashas! My kids' dolls and bears...and turtles, beavers, trolls! They were all put up in the attic years ago and recently we brought them down. Memories! For all of us. Now, there are just a few here. The Barbies, Sheras, HeMan, Transformers, Little Ponies, Rainbow Brites, and various others have been cleaned up, sorted, and tucked away again for now. But we kept a few out who want to be a part of Dolltown. Who wouldn't! But we can only handle so many at a time. And we are not sure of the...

Jiyoon's new Playroom at Dolltown Abbey! The Iples renovated a large bright room for Jiyoon! She will be staying there now, and have her friends over whenever she wants, or when they are allowed.... For their first time there, the Little Darlings and other children get to choose their 1st day of school clothes. Dolltown doll stylist, Valentine has been called in to help Junior Iple Violet set the room up, ready with clothes, hair ties, ribbons, and shoes. The girls are excited and will come in...

Catrine has been here for months, hiding out. Here she is in Lee's library, using his laptop. Other Odd Ones have come from our Value Village... Dolls whose names I don't know. I have asked several times for help identifying the one I call Owl...the one with massive eyes and a jade colored dress. Not Jade J'Adore... I actually bought her at our grocery store After passing her by for weeks and more. "Take me to Dolltown!" she kept calling out as I passed. She has heart shaped pupils. I am a...

Our Dee an Cee girls have been here forever... 50's Vintages. Guard One arrived in Dolltown last spring. And he soon had a crush on the Dee an Cee girls. (Remember this photo?) But so shy! So full of duty. But once Guard Two showed up recently, he was emboldened... Now he has a buddy. A wing man. And he wangled a break from their duty schedule to come to Terri's (again) when these girls were there. Look at them! So cute together!
