Style Girls Babysitter Set and Baking Fun Dolls at Tuesday Morning!

Hi Doll Friends,

Just a quick post here because I am really low on time...

But I ran by Tuesday Morning the other day to pick up syrup for my iced tea when I happened to see something from Style Girls that I'd not seen before. Deluxe Sets! There were two types in the store I was in... A Babysitter Set and a Baking Fun Set. They are priced at $29.99

''

I didn't find them in the 'toy section' of the store, but on an endcap and way up high, like this above. 

I also so this doll I thought was interesting... More of a toddler look really but she was cute. I think she was about 14inches tall. 

Then up by the register they had these adorable 'Worlds Smallest' sets. 

I bought the gun one and ping pong one!

If I end up getting photos from the Dolls Christmas this year, I am thinking that these will be some of the gifts for them. Heehee.

I better run!

Babies Babies Babies!! Baby Siblings For The Dolls Abound!

Doll Friends!

Circo 8inch Baby Dolls are no longer sold at Target. At least the last time I checked... So, every time I see them at Thrift Stores or Garage Sales, I can't help myself but to pick them up. I may or may not have too many...? Teehee... Not if I am going to do another Baby Sitting post (or two) if I am going to create a Daycare Scene someday... Eh? But even then, I may have a few too many baby dolls this size.. Or not. All a matter of perspective, that, I suppose, right?  

These (the ones above and this photo below) are babies I've picked up here there and the other place since the last time I made a post about babies on the blog...

So the other day I pulled them all out and wanted to launder their clothes and maybe try and use some of them to figure out a simple pattern to make clothes for the ones who arrived with no clothes at all. I laughed and noticed how many of the Circo's had accumulated after I put them all in a doll carrying case while I washed all the clothes. 

Here they are... I laughed as I lined them up so TypeA without even thinking about them... Blue eyed baby then brown eyed baby then blue then brown then blue.... Etc. 

I guess having this many is a little excessive so I gandered at them on Ebay to see what they were going for... Just to see if it would be worth selling any of them and...

Holy Inflated Prices Batman!!

I tell you, when dolls are discontinued, no matter their size, they end up being worth more... It's uncanny...

So... I might sell a few on eBay...? I've decided I need to not buy any doll items anymore unless I am going to sell current things in my collection. Because space and also to keep myself honest... So...

Maybe I'll list them on eBay for what I think is a decent starting bid and see what happens? 

Who knows? Lately my 'follow-thru' has been dismal... 

*sigh*

I'm still working on the Etsy Shoppe inventory building... I probably have 30 items or so made but need to take photos of them and then get them listed and...

As I mention in this post, I've been struggling a bit lately...

So... Maybe someday it'll all get done. 

Right?

I better run, time to herd the cats! 

(i.e. Get teens outta bed and out door for school. Hahaha)

Have a great day Doll Friends!

Vintage 1985 Louis Nichole Baby Perambulator For 18inch Dolls

Doll Friends!

I found this Louis Nichole Baby Pram at my local thrift for only $5.00! It still had the tags on it even though it's from 1985. I bought it a while ago but it was sometime during my doldrums and so I am just getting here to show it to you. I think it's darling! I took it out on Monday while it was sunny out to try and get a few photos with the dolls! I wasn't able to get too many photos though because it was pretty windy and dolls don't like to stand up well in wind. However, it felt great to just get outside and take some doll photos! 

Winter is finally over! 

(I hope!) 

Isn't it just the bees knees?!

I love my local thrift store! They always mark their items so reasonably!

Here is a close up of the tag. 

So interesting!

It had this little tag inside of it but it wasn't attached...

It was just tucked into the side like this...

Realizing it was probably too windy to take too many (if any?) doll photos I decided I'd snap a shot with each of the 18inch dolls as I put them into my 'scene' or 'shot'. So here is Chavonne and the as-of-yet unnamed babies in the pram.  

Then I added Heather Doll...

And at last I added Frann Doll... And I really love the one or two shots I was able to get before they all started falling over. So, I am sure you'll see more of the pram in photos going forward. I have been meaning to get my doll baby siblings out more for photos and this will be a good excuse to do that. 

Gotta run!

XOXO

American Girl Doll Sized Shopping Buggy Goodwill Find!

Doll Friends!

Oh. My. Cute.

I found this adorable shopping buggy at Goodwill for only $3.99. How could I not? Right? Walmart has a My Life As Doll Shopping Cart but 1) it's $12.99 and 2) I don't think it has a 'seat' for the baby doll? However, for $3.99, I couldn't resist.

This baby is a Circo baby girl doll that I added a wig to. I nearly giggle every time I look at her cause I think she's just that cute. I need to find a tiny bow for her hair. Isn't she adorable just chillin' in the buggy?

Isn't it adorable? I'll have to see about getting a 'grocery store' background someday because that'd make some really awesome photos. Everyone's gotta eat, right? 

Better run!

More Baby Sitting Club Photos with New Baby Bed!

Greetings Doll Friends!!

When I finished up the posts about the Baby Sitting Club at the Doll House and the Gi Go Babies I had planned to pack away all the 'baby sibling' gear and babies for a while and focus on other things. As luck would have it, I found one more new accessory for the baby sibs that I had to show you. 

I had looked at this Circo Baby Doll Bed set back when they sold it at Target for like $20ish. I didn't buy it then because I wasn't as 'in' to dolls and I didn't want to have to store it. Since then I've apparently thrown caution to the four winds on that score! Haha. So I always thought, with regret, that I hadn't picked up one back when they were cheaper and readily available at Target. However, perhaps it was providence!!

Because I found the little bunk bed part at Goodwill in perfect shape (like new I am telling you!) for only $1.99!! I already have a few Circo Baby siblings that I'd purchased 'alone' or with other sets so I didn't really need any more of those and I have also found little 'riding' toys elsewhere... 

So I had to add the baby bed to my Baby Sitters Club scenes before I packed it away! What do you think? 

I also moved a lot of the babies around but little Heidi doll I tend to always pose reading... Just cos I think she is so adorable holding a book. 

I also left Jacxine pushing the Battat baby because I thought they looked so adorable and 'real'.

I forgot to add this cute toddler sized doll my daughter gave me from her own dolls when she was clearing out into the scene... I'll have to tell you more about her another time because she's pretty cute! 

This little cheerleader also didn't make the cut into the Baby Sitter Club scenes before because, well, I kind of forgot I had her and the other one above... I would never say I have too many dolls but maybe I am getting close to having 'enough'? Teehee. Probably not. Hahaha.

Isn't she cute? Better run! Monday has arrived and I have cats to herd... Oh, I mean kids to get to school. Have a great one!

Till Next Time!

Vintage Gi Go Palm Pal Expressions 8 Inch Baby Siblings for American Girl Dolls

Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends!!

It's been a really busy week at work this past and it's not left me much time to post blogs or play dolls. HoHum!! Just came here to post this and realized I'd posted it 'in the raw' and with just photos instead of hitting 'save as draft' too. So... If you happened by when this blog post was just photos, I do apologize! 

With all that being said, on to the dolls... As I was writing this recent post about the Baby Sitting Club at the Doll House I searched and searched my old postings in vain to see if I could find a posting about these cute little baby dolls I kind of became obsessed with this past summer but... I guess I must've just become obsessed with them and didn't think to mention it on the blog? Who knows... But as they say, better late than never, right?

I found my first Gi Go Palm Pal Expressions doll sometime last summer at a Garage Sale for like 50cents. I must confess I originally just picked it up because I wanted the outfit they had on for my other baby sibling dolls for the Doll House. My husband saw that doll and said "I think that is the ugliest doll I've ever seen!" Because the thing about these dolls, I think, is that you either love them or you hate them. I have always loved them... I just get a kick out of their quirky little faces and funny little expressions. I also love that some of the babies look sad or upset because, well, that's pretty genuine to the real deal. Babies get upset, a lot.

So here is my current collection. I got like five of them in a lot on eBay at some point for like $10 (plus shipping) and have otherwise picked them up here and there for a $1 or less. I would just sort of pick them up and add them to the little shelf I kept by baby dolls on. 

Here is a photo (above) of what they look like in comparison, size wise, to other 'baby siblings' in the doll house. 

Then I decided to photograph them each one by one so you can see their cute faces. As you can see on the baby (above) this baby had a run in at some point with an accident because her little toes on the right are a bit disfigured. 

Still, she's one of my favotires because she just looks happy. 

I am a bit embarrased to admit this but I guess I never gave these babies a proper cleaning up when they arrived. As I was photographing them and then looking at the photos, I realized they were a bit dirty! So... I have them set aside and plan to give them a proper cleaning with a Norwex Enviro cloth later today. In the meanwhile, I knew if I stopped photographing at that point they'd end up back on the shelf with no blog post about them afterall. So... I photo'd them as is. So, don't judge ok? LOL Real babies get dirty faces too, right? 

This one just looks so funny!! She's like "What?!"

This poor little girlie isn't too happy at all...

Neither is this little girl... I think they're siblings? I had the one with the tag on and left it on there so you could see it but I've since removed it finally. Poor dear went along with that tag for like two decades. No wonder she's cranky!! I'm not sure if you can tell but some of the babies that are unhappy have permanent 'tears' on their cheeks... Cute touch!

Can you see her tears? Poor baby!

This clown one I wasn't sure if I even wanted to buy... Because clowns give me the creeps in real life. But a baby clown, I decided, is cute. I plan to pull this baby out more at Halloween time because they are already in their costume! 

Pretty cute!

This little fella looks hungry. Haha.

Another unhappy baby... But cute anyway!

This little guy (above) even has a bit of a runny nose... Totally accurate with real babies too! Always needing a tissue, some of them.

This is another of my faorites... Maybe because this one looks the tiniest bit like my husband did as a baby. 

This little darling too is a favorite... She just looks so happy!

It kind of amazes me how many face sculpts they must've created for this doll line... I don't even think I have a very large collection compared to how many were produced.

These little dolls are about 8inches tall, have 'bean bag' bodies with a vinyl face, arms and legs. They sit really well because of the way they are made. As far as I know they were produced in the 1990s. You can find them pretty easily on the second hand market, oftentimes 'brand new' as someone might've just collected them and never played with them might be clearing their collection. Fun!

Isn't she cute! Which is your favorite? Let me know in comments. Have you ever seen this dolls in person? Perhaps you collect too? I'd love to see photos of yours!

Better run!

Till Next Time!
