Actually judging by the weather we've been having it's possibly closer to Christmas than spring!

I have a bit of a thing for Christmas themed Barbies so was thrilled when these two arrived in the post this morning

On the left is "A Perfect Christmas" Barbie, and on the right is "Holiday Wishes" Barbie...

I love the pink and green candycane gown and waist length hair of ...

The problem with schlepping your dolls around the place in search of photo oppurtunities is that all too often they can get quite badly battered in the bottom of your handbag.  This problem had me keeping an eye out for a suitable case to fit my Barbies.

I had had my eye on the Zipbin Barbie clutch for a while and a reduction in price to less than a fiver plucked me from my procrastination and moved me to action via the Buy It Now button.

Well it arrived today as you can see....

Adventure

I don't know about you but, even as a kid, my Barbies had their sights set on far greater adventure than could be contained in the nearest beach or shopping mall.  With this in mind I was pleased to discover that amongst the other 'I Can Be' career-based Barbie fashions, an Astronaut set has been included.

First impres...

So my new Barbie Charm School Blair doll arrived.  I was desperate for her to get here!  I'm afraid I was a little disappointed though.

Her outfit and accessories are great, her hair is lovely and her lip colour gorgeous... but her eyes are rather lacking in presence  .  She is quite photogenic though, maybe we will bond more

Here is a sneaky peek at the upcoming "Spring Sunshine" collection by The Thinking Doll for Blythe - these are all handmade, one of a kind, outfits made by myself.

Appearing in the store soon!

"Polka Pink" - Hat and Scarf Set

Tang is my oldest Blythe who I have had since 2004.  Recently I sent her to Jenni of Thriftydoll for a makeover and today she returned

Jenni worked on a character desription of Tang's personality and did an amzing job (though I think it might take Tang a while to forgive me for sending her away XD).

So the new girl is settling in nicely and decided that she HAD to go for a walk today whatever the weather!  Seems she's just as headstrong as my other girls

She also has a name...

Meet Peridot

Happy Red Nose Day :-)

Just for the sake of interest here are the after pics following University of Love's conditioning treatment - her hair is much lighter and softer now

Still indecided on a name or whethe...

My latest adoption arrived today she is an, as yet nameless, University Of Love Blythe Doll.

Let me out please!
