My Halloween Purchase!

 Hey Gang!

I need to add more dolls to my off Barbie doll collection that aren't quite Barbie Many of these dolls I only use for Halloween .  I might not use them much but that can change!  I have been watch Doll of a Darker Hue on FaceBook and Instagram! She has a couple that consists of DC Super Hero Girl Bumble Bee Doll. 

She has a large head

She need a restyling!

Maybe a straw set.

She has a  different body type that Barbie but I wanted to add her to my collection.  I had been looking for her for a while but she hadn't showed up in my area! I found her on FaceBook in good condition for a great price! I was happy to finally add her! Her name is Na'ilah.

Her back!

She has a cornrow section like fashionista Zig Zag but I think she had them first!

She has blonde/brown hair like the fashionista doll. My fashionista was chosen for  the amount blonde hair that she had. It was more than the other dolls in the store.

Now let's compare her to WWE Naomi!  They both have large feet.  I thought they were the same size but they aren't.

Side by side look at their feet.

But Naomi's feet are wider!

As for the hands they seem to have used hers for the Harry Potter female dolls!  The wand hand and the other hand.

The spell hand!

Next up is Mattel Enchantimals Hixby Hedgehog Doll!Mattel only made one "AA male Monster High doll, Clawd!  He was my Howlaween feature!

In the wolf line there are three female characters Clawdeen, Howleen,  and Clawdia. There are two toddlers Barker, Pawla and  two babies Weredith and Packlyn. I have all of them but Clawdia.  She maybe a later purchase.

Clawd and Clawdeen with be a couple here!  

I got both of them at at thrift store!

They have three children Barker, Pawla and Weredith! The children were new purchase. 

I purchased Howleen from Facebook at a time that I decided that this wolf pack would be characters outside of my normal doll characters! I have to find her a husband which will be the beta in the pack.

Howleen's husband is away and she and her two children will be joining the pack while awaiting her husband's return. One of my Weredith (I got one when I purchased Barker and one when I purchased Pawla)  will become a baby boy and I will ad Hixby will be customized as a wolf cub to the pack!

He will lose the glasses! One of my other dolls wants them!

I not sure about the face paint either! I guess we will see!

Without the vest, the clothes are painted on.  I could put him on a different body. I'll have to think about that.

The back.

Shoes and the vest come off!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

Pruchases And Thrift Store Finds!

Hey Gang!

So, I made some purchase at the end of the year and the beginning of 2014
that I didn't show you.  So here goes some of it!

I got two of these dolls at 75% off in the first week of January!

Midnight Magic Pippa doll!

I purchased her for the boot and the dress.  I was looking for clothes for Stacie and
my rebodied Max and Marie dolls.  After getting her I thought that she would make
a great narrator for my stores on Johnston.    I am calling her Abby and she is the
ghost of the old Johnston town.

 

 

I found these deers on sale after Christmas.  I got two of them too.  Poor dears have a

problem

Nothing that can't be fixed!

She looks so sad here!

Now that is better!

She just needs a little paint!

I found this doll at a store that was going out of business.   I love the dress and
for .50 cent, the price was right!  I sell the doll at a flea market.

Barbie knockoff!

This doll is a Moxie Teen knockoff!  Here name is Gina and she comes with
tattoos.

She was purchase for her outfit.  The boots are killer and great for my big footed Lena
doll.  I will put this doll will be up on the dollpage soon!

OK, the thrift store stuff!

I found this clock for 1.50.  It is very Christmassy but I will just have to

take the blow dry to it!

 



If you read this post anywhere other
I-Luv-Dolls@blogspot.com
It is a fake!!! Run!!

I can put these this on a piece of wood or something.

I found paint!  I have been needing some new colors but was too cheap to buy it.

OK, someone got creative with duct tape!  I didn't need her but I got her to show you.
Unconventional material challenge!

OK, they are safe and get to go to the green room.

I was shocked to find this guy and and the girl who came with him.  A kid wanted
the doll so I took her clothing but I don't take a picture of it. 
He is an unusual head sculpt.

 But cute!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

My New Favorite Things!

I wanted to show you some new diorama items I recently purchased from thrift stores and flea markets and what I got from the International Black Doll Show and Sale!


So here we go… I told you I got the gardening set from the Black Doll Show.

My gardener will be Angelina!

Outfit and hat.

 I love the little tools!

Someone recently gave me some Barbie size tools too.

They are a little off scale wise but certain dolls aren't as picky as others!


Next I got this rug at my favorite thrift store.

Xia is our model today. She is dressed in a Miya inspired outfit. Doesn’t she look cute!
I was looking for something like this for someone especial! The rug will go to Chief Running Bear for his home.

Also going to his home is this desk! If you read dbg’s post of Black Doll Collecting on the International Black Doll Show and Sale, you will remember Linda Hayes saying she had a desk at the show. Yes, that right! The early bird gets the worm… or the desk! This is the desk she had for sale! I will give it a hit with some Old English and maybe add some feet to it before sending it to him.

I also purchased from Ms. Hayes is this Power Team guy. It’s funny, I was going to purchase this guy on the Dollpage but the seller already had a sale for him. So now I have him anyway. No name for him or anything yet.

Close-up!

I also from Ms. Hayes is Halle Berry! I immediately rebody her! She is on an AA Fashionista body. She had some pretty strange eyelashes too! So I gave them a trim. I do think she a beauty!  Sometimes she looks like Halle Berry and other times she looks like Nicole Ari Parker.  Haven’t figure a her name either but it will come.

Close-up!

I got these cassette holders from the dollar store.

The will make great chairs for my folks to sit in! When I read Vanessa’s post on Wedding Reception Crisis Averted, chairs were mentioned as a possible issue! I learned from her to pick up chairs when you see them.

I found this sofa which you have seen with Sydney

(Thrift store)
I got these!  This is my original.  It is a candle holder. They show up a lot at my favorite thrift store.  At first I paid then no attention.  Now I look in that section first!

This is my first one!

It had a piece like this in it.

I removed it.

Now I have two!

(Thrift store) I will do the same with these.

(Flea market) two more of these. I already had two

(Thrift store)


and two more of these also to add to my chair collection. Can you have too many chairs?

I purchased this picnic table for my park.

This table and three more came from Style In Scale. Thanks Jennifer! Words don’t do these tables justice! I plan to follow her direction on cleaning. I learned something in the process of purchasing the tables. It cost more to send something from Canada to the US than it cost to send from the US to Canada. That was something I didn’t know.

This table is from my favorite thrift store.

Some lamps from the dollar store. They had these in a few colors….I may need more.

I got an Etch A Sketch…

these, which reminds me of the game Connect Four

 and my extra Foosball table.

I also received some pizza  and breakfast from Vanessa of Van's Doll Treasures!

Xia: Maybe just one slice?

I need to get another of these! Hey Van, What else  ya got?

A little something for Fiona!

I also got a few things for my wee ones!

A car and

Trucks!

Ok! I couldn't pass this up for 5.00!

Now my horses have a home!

Yes, it need some work... will I get to it....maybe!
Yes, I went a little hog wild for a minute!



I’ll show you more dolls later.

Thanks For Looking!
