Doll Musings

I just retrieved some of my dolls from a closet at my parent's house. To be specific, my First Arrival Felicity, Kit, and my Hearts for Hearts dolls. There will be lots of pictures to come!

It just struck me, how much more peaceful I felt when I had them in my arms. Mind you, I was worried up until that moment because I couldn't find them.

But they really, really mean something to me and I feel so much better with the dolls in my life.

My mother is a minimalist and I feel bad that I am not, that I need my dolls. And I am a grown woman.

There are so many people who look down on dolls as a hobby, you know? It's not something you share a lot, unless you are very confident in yourself. I share on this blog, but I don't share my dolls much in Real Life.

Still, it doesn't hurt anyone, it makes me happy, and I am not going to change anything soon.

The gang is definitely here to stay!

Our Generation Displays at Target

I have been checking out a lot of Targets lately, looking at the Our Generation selection.

One Target had twenty of the bongo drum accessory sets, another had no small accessory sets at all, but lots of the larger items. 

That Target had some really lovely glass case displays of Our Generation dolls.

 These displays are so lovely, I am sure that they will help sell dolls! It's like the American Girl stores on a smaller scale.

 I just wish that Targets would actually stock a better selection of items! I want that typewriter!

 They didn't have any of this tent, even though it was on display. It's been on my maybe list for a long time.

They had approximately twenty of this doll on clearance. I think this was an ill-advised attempt to cash in on the Frozen craze.
Her face mold looked especially weird to me.

I will keep looking for the elusive but yearned-after typewriter!

Happy Holidays!

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

May the season be merry and bright!

Definitely Winter

I took this picture at the lake literally one day after the others.

As you can see, the lake surface froze the rest of the way overnight. It makes for a very different photo.

There is even an ice fisherman out there!

Anne wants to know why I didn't put a coat on her, and that is a really fair question.

It's definitely winter!

Winter is here

Jess is my most photogenic doll. I had to get some pictures of her all dressed up for the colder weather!
