New Dress for My Doll
This is a dress I bought the other day from Sandy's Creations. You can find her at www.chattyandme.com or on ebay under slh294ever. The doll is Sandy's, I just bought the beautiful dress, the picture doesn't do it justice. It is sooooo beautiful, Sandy does wonderful work.
I bought the dress for a Canadian chatty cathy that I was going to buy but I got outbid on it, so I am still looking for a canadian chatty with blonde pigtails. As soon as I get one this dress will be her's :)
Happy doll hunting to everyone out there

Dolls, Dolls & More Dolls
This is my American Doll Kit. Most collectors buy brand new with box, as close to new as possible. I, on the other hand, will buy a doll that has flaws because I want to hug them. The little girl in me wants to hold & hug.
Now, my Barbies are mint in box, a collectors dream. But, barbies were not made to hug. Then there are my Chatty Cathy's, I love my Chatty's & am looking for a Canadian chatty for my collection. I have found a couple that I'm interested in but have been dragging my feet. I have a favorite person that I buy from, Chatty Cathy Talks. She does a super job on her dolls, in fact when I got into collecting Chatty Cathy's, she advise me to buy a 1998 reproduction for my first one. I didn't listen, I bought a 1962 doll that she had done (which was far more expensive then the 1998). After the 1962 doll, I did buy the 1998 reproduction. She was right, I love my 1998 more then my 1962. But anyway, I'm waiting to see if she comes up with a canadian.
Two other sites I love to go to, is Shelley's Dolls & Sandy's Creations. If you love Chatty's, these girls have the best dolls around. Of course, there is always ebay of which I go to once a week. Went there yesterday, there is a Rosebud Chatty, mint in box. There is a reserve on it and of course I had to bid. I have 2 Rosebuds, one blonde, one burnette but I couldn't pass this one up. I had to bow out when the price got to high for me but how the heart longs for another Rosebud in my collection :)
Can never get enough dolls. Its always dolls, dolls and more dolls :)

About the New Dolls
In my previous post I shared about new dolls that came my way. I have gone thru all of them. I have kept all the Barbies & Ken's and 2 dolls from Germany.
It was agreed, that the dolls I did not want or feel that I could not sell would be given away to a charity. And that is what I have done.
Most of the Barbie's I already had in my store, there are quite a few Holiday Barbies that I do not have in my store, the plastic box on them are old and I don't know how they will clean up. These I will put in my store. The 2 German dolls do not have boxes or certificates. I have been trying to air all dolls out, it is a slow process.
As of yet, I have not put any of them in my store. There is a Princess Diana doll ,mint in box which I have put in my own collection. It is a 2nd edition, so it is rare but not very rare.
That is the latest on the dolls that were given to me. Take care, everyone :)

New Dolls
My in laws surprised me the other day when they came for a visit. In the car they had tons of dolls.
My mother in law has a friend whose mother passed away. She was a collector of dolls and they gave them to me.
The dolls need to be cleaned, the woman was a smoker but I am excited about it. So, look forward to some new dolls

Barbie Parisienne Pretty 2009
In the fall of 2009, Mattel produced Barbie Parisienne Pretty. She is a remake of an old favorite.
If you go to the Mattel Barbie site, they have issued a warning that this doll will develop "green ear". They advise anyone who has purchased this doll to return it to the dealer for another one or you can take out the earrings and replace them with earrings that will not turn the doll green.
I do not have one of these dolls in my store, I almost got one but decided on getting the "Collector's Request" doll of this nature instead. I'm glad I did.
Happy Collecting.
