Little Darlings at School 2018!

The Dolltown Little Darlings and friends, made it to school! Okay, it's almost December, but better late than never. The girls are reading, counting, playing the piano. And chatting about the world itself...

Tomi Jane Bid on eBay

Tomi Jane's beautiful dress, on her own Little Darling... Earlier this year, I was thrilled to get two sets of Tomi's Colorways dresses at what I thought were very reasonable costs. I wasn't in the market for more. But when I saw this dress of perfection on eBay, and saw its starting bid, I couldn't resist going for it! In the end I didn't win.... Which means maybe I can get a few sandals for my girls this year. But is this going to happen every time a Tomi Jane dress becomes available for the...

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...

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!...

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...

Pants for the boys...

Pachom to the rescue! In Pachom's Fashion Shoot, one of my Chris Miller boys tried on a pair of pants from a cute blouse and pants set for my girl dolls. A fit! I was so excited that I emailed Pachom. And she sent me 3 pairs! These boys have been wearing long lean jeans belonging to the Tonner guys (that's why Eddie shows up here to get his jeans back!) Their new pants are corduroy (soft!) so these boys are happy to see a little rain after a hot summer. And loose enough that they can sit down,...
