Our Generation Mirna; New Doll In The Doll House and a Rice Cooker too!

 

Hi Doll Friends,

I finally caved and had to get a doll with this adorable dimpled face sculpt from Our Generatrion. Our Generation Mirna was the one of them that I finally decided to get. She is so beautiful. As soon as she arrived I couldn't help myself but to get her out and take photos of her. 

Since there was a Buy-One-Get-One half-price sale going on when I bought her I also decided to grab the Our Generation Sushi Supreme set at the same time. It comes with a rice cooker that has a working light and 'beeps' when it's done. How fun is that? I spent my early 20's in Hawaii where all the local people have a rice cooker just like this in their kitchen. So it made me all nostalgic. Had to happen.

Better run!

Adora Amazing Girl Zoe Purchased With Birthday Gift Money!

 

Doll Friends!

I didn't plan on buying another doll...

Honest! I know I have enough...

However, when the perfect storm comes, what is a girl to do?

What do I mean by perfect storm?

Well, when one is gifted a birthday gift certificate and then Amazon makes me an offer impossible to refuse. Haha. Or at least it was for me. I love Adora Dolls. I actually already own Mia, which is what Zoe used to be named...

But Amazon put her on sale for $17.09!! What?! Zoe has a regular price of $59.99. So how could I not pick her up for less than $18?! I mean her adorable outfit is worth that really!

Sadly, by the time I've gotten here to tell you about it she's back up to over $40 even on sale. 

Here is the box she arrived in.

I love that she's able to 'stand up' strait in her box unlike another Adora Amazing Girls Doll, like Sam/Dallas, I've purchased where they arrived with their head tilted to be able to fit into their box. 

I just love her face sculpt! Given that I have two dolls with same sculpt and hair style and color now... I think I'll likely 'customize' one of them at some point with a new wig. I'll probably give the makeover to the older doll since her hair might have a bit of dust in it whereas the new one won't. 

I love that they protected her arms from dye transfer from her clothes with paper. 

Well done Adora Dolls. 

I love her little t-shirt! 

I love that they use white ribbon, not zip ties, to attach her to her box insert. 

And that they give each of the girls a little personality story. 

So, I'm happy to have her in my collection! Do you have any Adora dolls in your collection? Let me know in the comments below.

Journey Girls Alana Amazon Exclusive!!

Doll Friends,

Long time no post!! 

A couple of months ago now I was on Amazon and just shopping browsing looking for the newest thing in 18inch dolls... You know... Researching...

 For you dear reader!! I do it all for you. 

Hahaha!

Anyway, lo and behold what did I find? 

 Journey Girls Alana an Amazon exclusive...
Now, I need to be thinning out my doll collection but... 
How could I resist? She is so beautiful!!

So, here is me finally getting here to tell you about her. I took her with me on a recent trip and took photos of her in the hotel and on this beautiful walking path outside the hotel. 

I'd write up a longer blog post about her but I'm going to have to just let the photos tell the story because I am always short on time lately! I really do recommend picking her up for your Journey Girls collection! She's just lovely.

New Dolls In The Doll House; Maplelea and Me Doll and Heidi Ott Little Ones!

Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends,

This blog post has been in the works for months and months... I've been struggling to keep up with 'regular' life (you know, working, laundry, dishes, grocery shopping and that sort) and my poor little blog here has taken the hit in neglect. I am often writitng blog posts in my head and have oh so many of them planned or partially done but... Well... I am hoping that someday I'll get back in the swing of things and be more regular in posting again. 

On to the post though... Upon discovering late last year that Maplelea Doll Company was going to update its line of Maplelea Friends Dolls to the new Maplelea and Me Dolls I knew that time was limited for me to be able to pick up my wish list dolls from that line. So, upon getting some money for my Birthday last November, I decided to pick one up before she was gone. (Which she is now...) I mean there are a lot of really pretty dolls in the lineup now but... I wanted this one. She's got the same face sculpt as the Maplelea and Me Doll I got in October of last year. So beautiful!! 

So the poor dear has been sitting around in her 'meet outfit' for months and months waiting for me to take her first portraits! Heather Doll got changed into the same outfit so they could be 'twinsy' dolls for the photos. So, I finally got them taken yesterday! 

I haven't named her yet... I'm leaning towards Kathy because she really reminds me of a friend of mine who has that name. 

She and Heather Doll decided to have a Tea party by the fire with a pretty cake. 

Since I am so far behind on posts, I decided to make this posting about another doll purchase I made late last year as well, on eBay. I have loved Heidi Ott Little One's Dolls ever since I bought one for my collection years ago. However, they are usually very expensive and had to find! They were on my eBay watchlist though and low and behold this really cute sibling set showed up for auction, both new in their boxes (which I apparently forgot to take a photo of somehow?!)... They were priced at $49.99 for both of them, including shipping! Which is not nothing but it was a really great price and so I put in a modest bid amount and... I won!! I got them for the $49.99! I was stoked! 

They are so adorable! Here they are meeting Kathy!

So, so fun to get new doll's in the Doll House!! 
Do any of you have either the Maplelea and Me Dolls or The Heidi Ott Little Ones in your collection? If so, leave a comment and let me know!

I better run!
