It's Fall in Dolltown

It's the Little Darlings! During my Hiya Dolly hiatus, the girls had the run of Dolltown. Of course they had their caregivers running after them, making sure they were safe and didn't eat too many caramels francais, or climb too high in the trees... After a while, as the weather turned cool, several of the girls decided it was time to change and get ready for school. So, with a little help, they dug through the boxes and found the sweaters, shirts, and plaids. And they convinced even the...

Friendships switch up...and dolls do, too

In Dolltown, friendship is important. Dolltown began because we decided to acquire friends for our vintage singletons! Some of our vintage were pairs, so they already had friends... two Dee an Cee Cindy dolls two Dee an Cee Drink and Wet babies But several did not.... one Terri Lee one Barbie one Dee an Cee child... I figured that all our dolls ought to have friends. So as the Dolltown characters started to arrive, they each naturally paired up with like minded others, or others in the same...

Lula Star Home from Australia!

Lula Star left Dolltown last November for Melbourne, Australia... My daughter Lani moved there with her Tasmanian BAE, but tucked Lula in her camera bag. For several months, Lula traveled as well to New Zealand, Indonesia, and explored interesting topography with Lani and Fin. Now Lula is back! Scout is first to greet her...old friends.

Tink and Xennia Pass Out the Last Cupcakes...

Guard One, seen below, is usually in the background at our Dolltown events. Iple Lee hired him last year as a bodyguard for all the dolls, watching for possible harm and kidnappings. (No kidding...look at the Monster High body snatchers and identity changers.) Tink and Xennia invited Guard One for Birdy's birthday cupcakes. And since he's such a big guy, they managed to find him...five! In the end he had to share with one of the hungry birthday birds...

Bunny Wants to Stay in Dolltown!

Bunny showed his flexibility by hiding eggs at the Community Center when it started to pour on Sunday morning. The scramble started! Once the fun was done, Bunny was served a plate full of carrots: raw and cooked, sliced, diced, mashed and made into orange rosettes! Bunny enjoyed the attention and love. Sticky fingers and all. He lingered....

How did Dolltown begin?

We talk to Terri Lee, the oldest dolly here in Dolltown... Terri, can you tell us how Dolltown started? Well, Dolltown has been around for a long, long time. But it's a little like Brigadoon, and can only be accessed at the right time. You-Know-Who thought a thought at the right time, and Dolltown appeared to her. And this time it stayed, because YKW kept the thought alive, inhabiting it with the dolls she had-me and a few others. And by opening the doors, so to speak, to dolls as a kind of...
