New In Box Madame Alexander Doll Find At A Local Flea Market!


Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends!

So recently I went to a local Flea Market with my sister... I saw all manner of neat doll items... 


These pretty doll horses...


This cute little doll... She was actually 18 inches tall but she had a slim line body and I am making myself stay with the American Girl Doll sized doll and doll clothes right now. So I simply took her photo and moved on. Behind her was a cute 18-inch doll that I thought about for a moment but I left her there as well...


She was sitting on this really cute doll horse...


I saw a My Life As Doll doll...


But then... I happened upon this beauty. She was marked $24.99 and at first I left her where she sat because I didn't really have that in the budget right now. But... Then my sister looked her up on eBay and made me realize that I ever wanted to get her in the future I'd be paying three times as much...
So I threw caution to the four winds and put her in my cart. 


I'm so glad I decided to buy her...!


Because she is so pretty! Her little outfit is adorable and so well made as well!


She has such a sweet little face...


And her hair is gorgeous!

So, she'll make a great addition to my little collection!

Better run!

Christian Themed Outfits For Dolls At Hobby Lobby!


Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends!

So, it's been a while since I've been to Hobby Lobby to look at their doll clothes... I happened to be right next to a Hobby Lobby the other day and thought I'd pop in and see if they had anything new. 
I am so glad I did! 
I mean they've always had cute clothes there but what I noticed almost immediately when I saw the selection this time was that they had some Christian Themed outfits!
Awesomeness!!
As someone who love love loves Jesus, I really love Christian themed t-shirts for myself! So when I saw them I knew I had to pick up one for Heather Doll! Since I was in the area again the next day, I went back in and got a second outfit too! I got them both with the 40% off coupon they generally always have! I am sure I'll eventually stop in and get one of all the others at some point or another.
and I want to speak the gospel to the world in every way I can! 


So here are Kit and Heather Doll modeling the outfits I picked up. 
Aren't they fabulous? 


Here is a photo of the entire selection of doll clothes and accessories I saw at the store I went to. 


They still had the Springfield Dolls. The outfits are from a brand called Marigold Market, which I think is made specifically for Hobby Lobby but it's nice they still sell some dolls that could wear the outfits saying someone stops in and wants to buy a gift with both. 


Here is one of the outfits I am talking about. The dress says "God is Love". Isn't it cute?!


This one is cute... Not sure I like the saying myself though... I mean it's kind of clever; DORK to stand for Daughter of the Risen King. But... this one I might pass on. 


Then there was this one which is a dress that says 'Saved by Grace'. Very pretty print on the dress and so I'm thinking this might be the next one I pick up. 


This one says 'Hope anchors the soul'. I am not sure if it's actually a Christian themed one although it could be. I think it is probably more of a quote from the Emily Dickinson poem:

“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -

And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -

I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.



So here is one of the outfits I got, the first one. I also got these two pairs of shoes from Walmart on the same day. I thought it was great how the sandals basically look like they were made for the outfit! Heather Doll is wearing them with it and I think they are perfect together!


Then this is the second one. This one is based on 1 Corinthians 13:13
"Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ... And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."


So I really love both outfits and like I said, I am sure I'll get a few of the others too at some point! So if you're looking for Christian themed outfits for your dolls, be sure to stop in to Hobby Lobby! Don't forget your 40% off coupon! 




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!

Syracuse Meets Some Of The Doll Family!


Hi Doll Friends!

Syracuse recently arrived in the Doll House (Lotus-Onda Newyberry type doll) and so of course I had to take some photos of her meeting some of the Doll Family!!


Here is Syracuse is in the parlor...


She is joined by Kaleo Doll. By way, I looked and looked and looked for a post about when I converted Kaleo to a boy doll but couldn't find anything so... He is a Heidi Ott Faithful Friends Beth head and an Our Generation body. I love love love the face sculpt on Heidi Ott Faithful Friends but really dislike their body type because they can't stand on their own. So all of the Faithful Friends in my collection have been made over in to OG bodies. I digress... But I wanted to tell you who this doll was because I don't think you've seen him before? He's named after a group who's music I love... Kaleo is a band from Iceland and I discovered them right about the time I converted him and so it fit. 


Of course Frann Doll was there for to meet her! 



Then Heather Doll welcomed her. 



Kaleo, Frann and Heather talked story a little while until...



Josh Doll arrived to say Hi. 






The dolls in the Doll House didn't want to overwhelm her with too many hello's at once and so they just stopped there...


Syracuse thinks she is going to love the Doll House!
