A Blythe Meet of Gigantic Proportions


Proportion would be the key word to the Blythe meet on Friday, May 21 in Baltimore, hosted by Maggie. You see, there were 72 (count 'em) Blythes present and only four humans. You do the math! And, if I tell you, the lovely and smart (PhD candidate) Samara only brought four, that makes the math even more incredible.
And these were just the Blythes that were assembled! Yes, my baker's dozen are there, but as for the rest, well, ask Aunties Maggie and Iveta! Maggie's living room is an awesome display of an awesome doll collection, including Momoko, Fashion Royalty, collectible and vintage Barbie and Friends, Wonderfrogs, Dal, Petena, Generation Girls, Top Model, Madame Alexander and too many more to name (or remember).
Maggie was a great hostess, of course, and we noshed on pizza and Pepperidge Farm cookies while Maggie's fur family, namely Ruby Elizabeth and the cats kept us entertained. There was much swapping and gifting and conspiring about future dolly fantasies. Blythe meets are my favorite R&R!

Daisy gets the big head after cover appearance on Lucky Blythe


Miss Daisy received her issues of Lucky Blythe Friday from Confettilexi, and boy, have things gotten dicey around Blythe Manor! First, Daisy demanded to put on the Marie Antoinette 'queen' dress and headpiece from My Own Little World creations.
Then, she summoned all the girlz in the house, and even our guest, Fawn, to a cover-signing 'rehearsal.' Daisy believes she will need to have her signature perfected before she ventures out to the grocery store, or anywhere, for that matter, as she expects to be swarmed by the paparazzi.
Since Daisy is a permanent resident of Blythe Manor, she apparently decided she could make a few extra little demands: new Coach or Tiffany pullrings, her own bedroom, first dibs on any new rooms in Blythe Manor, no more 'baby' dresses, a full-time bodyguard, prior approval of any new Flickr pics, a goldfish and a pony. Hmmm. We shall see.

The prettiest girlz in the world












I might be biased, but here are some of the prettiest Blythe girlz in the whole wide world. Charlotte, top, models the lovely statement necklace we received from Auntie Bryanna. Fawn, in her red Sally Jessy glasses, belongs to Aunt Maggie, but came for a recent visit. Molly models a darling Nippy Cat outfit that Auntie Iveta sent home with us, and Charlotte wears a vintage hanky dress with crocheted bodice that we swapped Aunt Maggie for. Same with the pink and grey NippyCat outfit on Joey. And the sweet sucker you can barely see is another treat from Bryanna. Some of the girls have their Lucky Blythe magazine and pen in hand, as Daisy has scheduled a "practice" autograph session at Blythe Manor.

Updates from Blythe Manor









The dollhouse is nearly done. I just recently realized I haven't taken a single picture of a Blythe in the house! Must do that. I guess now I will wait until it is done. That top space is already wallpapered and partially filled. In fact the picture of Angela's Nikki cat on the computer was taken in that square.
The three "Charlie's Angels," "MerAngels" or "MerBlytheAngels" feature Maggie's visiting Verde from left and then my Virginia and Charlotte, all customs, although one can still tell Charlotte is an Urban Cowgirl, which is fine. The mermaid outfits are pieces I snagged on Plastic Paradise, and then I made the tops on Verde and Virginia with Blythe stock bras and sticky rhinestones. Photo fun!
As you can see Cherry Cat was caught at the computer late at night. Not sure what she is up to, but I am sending her home to mama! Those little plastic/rubber cats are amazingly expensive- many are well over $100! At Wal-Mart, they would be $3 in the dog toy or baby toy aisle. I am not panning Angela's cat; in fact, I love these Nikki cats by Odecco/PetWorks. I am just amazed at their collectibility because they are the size and material of a rubber squeak toy! Squeak! Eek!
My new Ashton Drake Pow Wow Poncho Blythe arrived, replacing the Gwynyth I used to have. She really is very pretty. I added eyelashes and all new chips: brown, blue, pink/clear and purple/green. Here she models a tagged vintage Skipper dress. I am still considering names and welcome opinions: Gwynyth II, Bitsy, Blondie, Muffy, Barbie, Lindsay, Elle.
