New Dollies

This is Astrid

She's a Momiji that was/is available exclusively in the UK. Thank goodness for Ebay!

This is Glinda. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be Glinda for Halloween and I bought her for research.

I love the box art!

That's how I'm justifying buying another dolly.

Some of my friends gave me the Dorothy from this collection for Christmas last year, so Glinda can keep her company!

I just love these dolls. I want all of their clothes!

G'night!

Hello June, I think I like you!

Today has been a really great day. Really, really great.
1. I dyed my hair pink (just the tips. Like last time. I'll be back in a day or two with photos)

2. I watched a few episodes of Supernatural (Even though the show does kinda scare me...) My friend Felicia has been trying to get me to watch it for... Maybe a year now? They started airing the episodes on TNT from the pilot, so I no longer had an excuse to put it off. The show is actually pretty great. So instead of getting work done, I spend two hours a day watching a TV show! Thank God it doesn't come on during the weekend.

3. I got this vintage dolly nightgown in the mail

4. The best thing, I got a Pinterest!! It may be sorta silly that I am this excited about it, but I am! I've wanted one for awhile, but was too nervous to apply. Yesterday I finally bit the bullet and I got an email this morning saying that I was in! I spent a good part of the morning pinning things, it's so much fun. Do you have a pinterest? I'd like to connect with some of my blog friends over there, too. Here's a link to my pinboards. Hope to see ya there!

Yes. Overall a very good day.
June, you have gotten off to a dandy start.

I Love Mondays

Yesterday was a really good day. Really, really good. I got a bunch of fun stuff in the mail and at Ikea + Anthro.

So cool, right?

Isn't the choking warning hilarious and informative?

I took my Mom for cupcakes at Sprinkles and they were AMAZING! Neither of us had ever been, but we are planning on going back. Frequently.

I bought some really cool cards. I could spend hours looking at stationary and greeting cards.

The receipt just make me laugh.

Yeah. Mondays just might be my favorite day of the week.
I'll be back in a few days with pictures of Tallulah Suzette (my new Blythe doll)!

Blythe Dolls

So, I've had Blythe on the brain a lot lately. There are so many really talented people who create things for and customize Blythe dolls! Not to mention all of the people who just photograph Blythe girls! It really blows me away sometimes. I want to start sewing clothes for my girls and I am equally inspired & intimidated by some of the stuff out there.
Just take a look,

See what I mean?
Happy Monday!

P.S. Happy Birthday, Hayley Mills!

Lazy Sunday

Today is my first real day off in... 3 weeks? It might actually be 2.. I can't remember. Anyways, I have done nothing "productive" today. I've spent most of the afternoon perusing photos on tumblr & weheartit. I have thoroughly enjoyed myself. I've also been checking out listography. I love that site! Since lists are on my brain, I'm going to make one here!

1. This Blythe girl is on her way from Japan to come live with me. I'm so excited. She's the first Ginger Blythe I've gotten! I haven't picked out her name yet, which is odd. I usually have names picked out before I purchase them.

2. They showed "Tangled" last night in the park and I worked the concession stand. I had so much fun!

3. My Sister told me about Louise Rennison's mini book called "How To Make Any Twit Fall In Love With You". I read it this morning. Fabbity Fab!

4. I really want to get this dress for my Blythes. I actually wouldn't mind having one for myself. I love all of Pomme-Pomme's clothes.

5. The Alice In Wonderland paintings by Emily Martin are making me extremely happy. I pretty much love everything she paints, but these are particularly fantastic.

6. How cute is this picture?

Well, my lunch is almost ready, so I'm going to go read a book and eat some soup!
I hope the rest of your Sunday is wonderful!

Farewell, Wisdom.

I am going to have my Wisdom Teeth taken out in about 30 minutes.  I would appreciate any happy thoughts or prayers you have to spare.
I'm going to bid you adieu with pictures of some really cool dolls.
