Customized City Girls Dolls Make Whole New Look!


Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends,

As I mentioned in my last post I mentioned I purchased a few City Girl Dolls specifically to customize them with new wigs. I got a couple of them done and had to come here and show them to you! 


Here we have a customized and an 'original' Beth. The one on the left is the customized one and the one on the right is the one as she comes. I think they are both just gorgeous!! 




Here we have two Harper's. Obviously the one on the left is the original one. I've decided to name the customized one Reprah. I love how she came out! 




I still plan to customize another Harper and my new extra Jazz but I just have to find the exact perfect wig for them. 

Better run!

City Girls By New York Doll Company On Huge Discount Sale... For Like One Day...?


Greetings Doll Friends!

This is one of those situations that I am excited to tell you about because it was such an amazing buy but also sad to tell you about because it isn't available anymore. As you may know, I've gotten a few City Girls Dolls by New York Doll Company in the past. I absolutely love them! They are really well made sturdy dolls. I've wanted to add to my collection of three for a while now so I sometimes run by them on Amazon to see if the price has come down at all. 


So, I did that same thing in late July and...
Oh. My. Stars.
For whatever reason they had them on sale for $19.99 each!?!!?
What?!?!?
The normal price being $49.99 to $89.99, I almost fell off my chair. 
So... Being me, I bought... Well... FIVE of them.
Honestly I bought so many because I thought perhaps they were clearing them out and weren't going to be making them anymore. For whatever reason the Madison one wasn't on sale that day? So I bought two Harper's, two Beth's and one Jazz. My thinking was that the Harper's and extra Jazz could be customized since I already have her in my collection. Then I bought two Beth's because I'd keep one as she came and customize the second one. 




See? Here is the 'proof' that I'm not totally bonkers and I did actually find them on sale for so little! 







What's weird is the sale literally only lasted like half a day... Cos the next morning when I went back with thoughts of perhaps buying more (I decided not to... Not sure if I regret it or not?) Jazz was already back to $89.99 and by that evening they were all back at their regular prices. 











I've been meaning to come here and tell you about them and as you can see, I only took photos of one of the Beth's and one of the Harper's when I got them. 
I finally decided I better get here and tell you about them because I've customized one of the Harper's and one of the Beth's in the last couple of days.
I'll come show them to you soon!

Better run!

My Life As Doll 2020 Christmas Line Up At Walmart! Hello Kitty Abounds! Rudolph Bonus!



Greetings And Salutations Doll Friends!!

I went to Walmart this weekend and was delighted to see that they had the My Life As Doll Christmas line out... It was literally just being set up as I was there... 


Hello Kitty was the theme of the year it would appear! I love love love this Bakery Play Set. I might have to end up owning this set. Cos, you know, Hello Kitty!



A Hello Kitty Egg Chair!


And Hello Kitty foldable chair. 


And Hello Kitty sofa!


And Hello Kitty Doll...



There are three available but I didn't see the African American version at the store I was in. 


A Hello Kitty Sleeping Bag...



Then a really cool  item that they came out with this year is the Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer Advent Calendar that comes with a Rudolph pair of PJs. 



They have hints of what you'll get in the advent surprises. 


They had three different sets that come with outfits and themes. This Pet Shop set. 



This Ice Skating Set...



And this Party Planner Set. 



Then they had a Holiday Play Set that has a Christmas Tree and a fireplace etc. 



I was happy to see they brought the JoJo Siwa Doll back! Cos the prices on eBay are obnoxious and parents shouldn't have to mortgage their house to get a JoJo Doll for their child for Christmas. Eh?





I love the five in one game play set. So cute!



This candy machine is so neat. 


I think I've shared the Pizzeria Play set before but I figured I'd show it again just in case I am remembering wrong... 



I love that they brought back the Survivor Doll again too. 




And I think I've mentioned that I love the 'grown up' colors they used on the Living Room Play set. Well done My Life As... Not everything needs to be ALL pink and purple! 



I like the Kitchen Play Set too. 


I think the Camping Play Set is fun! 


And the Halloween Set is a neat idea! 



That's about all the new stuff I saw...
Have you bought any of the new stuff...?

Better Run!
