Still Looking For Canadian Chatty

I am stil looking for a Canadian Chatty for my personal collection. I've found quite a few but the price is beyond me.

I almost got one on ebay but someone out bid me. I can afford only so much and will not go beyond my limit. It is hard sometimes, like this last time but I held my ground and licked my wounds when I lost :)

I haven't sold a doll for about 3 months. Everyone has tighten their belts, as have we. My store is my hobby and anything I make is just a plus for us. I know there are others that have stores and that is their income. I would rather they get the business then me.

Maybe I will find my chatty this year. If not, I'll keep looking :)

New In The Store

New in the store is Barbie Legends of Ireland The Bard. This photo is my stock photo. The box was damaged during shipping so it has a crease on the top and bottom of the box. This means that the box is not mint. The doll is mint and never been removed from box. She is one of the most popular Barbie dolls. I'm selling her for $175

You can stop by the store at http://thelittledame.ecrater.com

Sold Another Doll Today

I sold Barbie/Fern from Charlottes Web today. It's from the "When I Read I Dream" series. She came with Wilbur the pig. Isn't that the cutest thing. The doll is mint in box but the box is not mint. It had shelf wear. I was thinking of putting this in my private collection but she sold before I did. My loss, another's gain.

I didn't make that much on her, I don't charge for shipping. So, the shipping comes out of my profit. I sold this one for $20 but I care more about selling the dolls to collectors than the money. I never started my store for money, I wanted to share beautiful dolls with others.

So, stop on by and see the beautiful dolls there http://thelittledame.ecrater.com

Hope You All Had A Great Holiday

Hope you all had a good Christmas!!! Here's to Doll hunting :)

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 :)
