Dolls and the Jungle

 I have been a Blythe doll fan for several years.

This year my daughter informed me that she'd like a Blythe for Christmas.

You may not know this, but Blythe's are difficult to buy in the U.S.

unless you find a friend here on flickr or instagram

and adopt one!

Well I decided to try ebay.

Since it can take weeks for the doll to be delivered from Asia I decided

I better start now in time for Christmas and this will give me time to

make some extra clothes.

Grace requested the doll named "Chocolate" and she comes with a mate "Vanilla", shown above.

I ended up buying them from an Australian seller.

It was awesome. They arrived in 10 days.

The price was 'right'.

I was elated.

now fast forward to yesterday.....

1 week AFTER they arrive.

DD Grace, decides she doesn't want a Blythe for Christmas, she wants a

Nintendo DS 3D.

Ugh DRAT!

So much for being ahead of the game.

After much contemplation on my part,

I have decided to keep them in secret in case she changes her mind.

IF she still doesn't "want" one...

I guess the girls are mine (insert evil laugh).

 In other news.

My jungle of a garden is starting to produce.

A LOT.

And we have pretty squash blossoms....

take care,
