Dolltown Little Darlings, in our Christmas Diorama

It's the Little Darlings! All dressed up for Christmas! We do stories here in Dolltown...so we do a lot of doll photos, capturing each doll in action and repose. I love looking at doll photos. I love looking at my dolls in photos. And none more than the dozen Little Darlings that reside in Dolltown... Our Dianna Effner Little Darlings have been chosen because we adore them, and I looked for as much variety as possible, and each has her own story for being here. Dolltown has LD's from four...

The Little Darlings Dress Up for Christmas...

We set up a Christmas doll diorama at our local Country Christmas. But none of the Little Darlings were allowed to go for the month long event... We couldn't take a chance on any of them disappearing. And we need them for our December stories. If we need any of the others, who are now in the locked glass cabinet downtown, we'll bring them home to Dolltown for a story or a photo. But the LD's will probably go on day trips...and join the other dolls in the cabinet while I am there for a few...

Nataliya's Dresses!

In October, checking for fall fashions, I noticed a couple of beautiful knit dresses by Nataliya. Much as I loved them I passed them... several times! Then, one day, Nataliya offered several of her knit dresses for a price I couldn't resist. Including the two I had been eyeing. I pushed the buy button and happily opened a doll fashion package not long before Halloween... I did a photo shoot for fun, getting the girls changed from their school clothes, before they dressed in their costumes. Even...

The Little Darlings Get Ready For School!

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...

The Little Darlings at Grandma Terri's

The Little Darlings have come to see Terri...Grandma Terri. Now, the relationships can get a little complicated in Dolltown, but Terri is LIKE a grandmother to...everybody. (Except, of course her friends and...Ernie.) Several of the children live at Terri's big house, like Zoey, Evie, and Shasta (and they have lots of sleepovers). But today they are all happy to come and visit with Terri before they go to ready for school...

Maggie and Kate Create! It's the froggy outfit!

First of all, we have been saved by a surprise package from Pachom... Just when we were wondering what to do about Xennia. She heard that Tink gets to wear the new outfit from Maggie and Kate, when it comes. Then Tink tried to make Xennia feel better by hunting for baby frogs. No luck! But then an envelope arrived in the mail. with a cute button dress, perfect for Xennia! Thank goodness! Thanks Pachom! I guess Pachom's psychic!

Our Ellowynes Meet Up, and the Tonner Guys are Invited!

Our Ellowyne girls are planning a major Pop Up of their own. They are meeting to finalize plans for the venue, and decide on how to market their event. I told them they can use our Facebook page...

Little Darlings, City Girl and Country Girl...

Jiyoon gets to wear the Mondrian dress first here in Dolltown... Sometimes it's just who is closest to the door when the package arrives. But I must say that I thought of Jiyoon right away when I saw this adorable Mondrian-inspired dress by Alison Austin on a lovely Facebook group I belong to.

Scout all dressed up...

Scout missed the fun Dress Up with the rest of the girls. She was on assignment, promoting the upcycling trend... Willow got out Romance and Whipped Cream's dress just for Scout. We think Scout was VERY excited, although it's hard to tell. You look pretty, Scout!

Little Darlings in the Stage Room...

More photos of our Little Darlings in the fancy Ellowyne fashion doll dresses... See our Ellowynes in these dresses, in the January blog post, Ellowynes in The Ballroom. Xennia, Pearl, Jiyoon, Maggie, and Birdy are wearing original Ellowyne dresses, I believe. Rosa and Tink are wearing Ellowyne dresses made from dressmakers. Zoey, in red, is wearing a sequin dress made for the Little Darlings. But I bought it for my older vintage Cindy's. And our Betsy McCall, Pamela, wore it as a festive...
