Hey Gang!

Picking Up Stories Where We Left Off! Pt.1

OK, So I need to do some photo stories!  I can't just show you all the
things I have purchased.  Well...I can but I do need to do stories too! So
here is my first in  themed of photo stories.  I'll be bouncing back and
forth.  I hope it doesn't get too confusing.  I have to finish up some post
too! I still have my Star Wars to do and a few others.

Meanwhile In St. Malcolm!

So after getting off the phone with her grandson, Camille was doing her
morning walk.

Exercise is a good part of the healthy lifestyle of St. Malcolm.
It is coming close to the end of tourist season here in St. Malcolm.

As much as Camille loves this season, its' coming to a close is good. It will soon
be Camille's favorite time. Time with friends and family at the Chateau.

While walking along the beach she saw something disturbing a little ways
off.  It was an injured penguin.

She took out her phone to make a call.
Hello, Animal Rescue...This is  Camille Laurent at the Chateau in
St. Malcolm.

Operator: Hello Mrs. Laurent!  What is going on in St. Malcolm?  Is it
a turtle?

There are sometime sea turtles or seals that are in distress and need 
rescuing because of improper pleasuring boating in the area. Camille 
has been a great resource for the Animal Rescue Resource Center.  
She is their "eyes on the beach" in St. Malcolm.

Camille:   No... it is an injured penguin!

 Operator: WOW! You don't get penguins there!

Camille: Yes, I know!

Camille:  He seems pretty bad.  You need to send someone quickly!

Operator: OK!  We happen to have someone really good nearby.  I will radio
 him and have him helicopter out.  Is the penguin alone or with others?

Camille: I didn't think of that.  Let me look around.  I don't see others on the beach.
They could be in the ocean.  Let me see...

Operator:  Do you see any other penguins?

Camille: I don't see anything.....   

Camille:  No... wait.. I see something! .... Uh oh! That's not good!

Operator: What do you see?

Duh Duh...Duh Duh...Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh Duh!

OK!  Thanks For Looking!

The Tsai Move To Johnston!

Hey Gang!

The Tsai are a major family in Johnston.  You met a few of them previously.
You might have realized that they were family.

You met Blaine

Blaine is an artist and was an assistant professor of art at N.Y.U.  

He didn't have tenure at N.Y.U.  It was a hard thing to get.  When he

was offered a spot at Johnston University with tenure, he jumped on it!

The rest of his family wasn't far behind.

  

his daughter Willow

 His sister-in-law Kieu

We will hear more about her later.

His other sister-in-law Hae

You remember her from the rehearsal.  She is the one on the
left.  Here is her daughter.

His niece Meadow

His cousin Connie 

We will hear more about her later too.

and her children

Bracken and 

 Fern.

I'll try to fill-in the family gaps soon!

OK, Thanks For Looking!

I Really Want These Dolls!

Hey Gang!

I had seen the twins Max and Marie on the
Target Website but they are nowhere to be found. You can't
order them on their website.  It says that they are only available
in stores.  Sadly, the number that they use for these dolls is the
number that they use for all Barbie Sisters Packs.  So if it say
that they have it in a local store, they more than likely have
other Barbie Sister Packs and not these dolls. Bummer!

Official Mattel Photo

A new blogger, Christine La Bella, posted about these
dolls on her blog Champagne Barbie.   This blogger
is from Australia!  My Australian follower always
complain of not getting things first!  Well guys, you
beat us/me this time!  Go get 'em!  and post
pictures

I quickly went to Flickr to see if anyone else had
pictures of these doll now that I saw hers.  There
weren't many pictures yet! I found a photo by
Eternal Snow interesting.  Prior to now, I had
heard mentioned that these twins were Stacie size.
Yes, they are Stacie size, but they aren't the new
Stacie size but the other 1990's Stacie size which
is a smaller doll. I think the cut of their clothing is
what makes them look taller.

I don't think that this is a bad thing that they
are smaller. I  just a little disappointed.  I would
 have liked for Mattel to give the new Stacie
some friends.  Because they are the 1990's
Stacie size, that mean there are more clothing
out there Marie size and some outfits out
there Max's size too!  I do hope that do an
AA version of these dolls too!

Frugal Finds-Leopard Print!

Hey Gang!

I haven't posted a frugal dolly find lately but I am doing one Today!
I found these lamps a Walmart on Sunday.  They were putting out
their Christmas items.  They are Christmas ornaments!  I don't think
that they say Holidays to me but they could work in a doll diorama.

If you read this post anywhere other than

 I-Luv-Dolls@blogspot.com It is a Fake!!! Run!!

So here they are.  I purchased two.

When I saw these lamps, I thought about a post that Marta of All 4 Barbie 
posted  about how her Barbie liked leopard print.  She did a cute diorama
with it!

They weren't a bad price but they would have been better at a dollar.

Because of the print, sliver and the crystal these lamps have to be used just right.
If not, it would look like a gaudy mess!

Simple decor is the best for these lamps!

I think even the plan chair might be too much!

Do you see them in a home of office?

What do you think?

OK! Thanks For Looking!

Here is What Is Going On!

Hey Gang!

Here is my latest purchases from Target and eBay!  The first five dolls are 

the Target ones! 

SO IN STYLE Pet Fun Doll Pair

Trichelle and Janessa

Official Mattel photo!

I thought Trichelle was really pretty after seeing her on Just Jay's Flickr page!

 I love the fact that she is looking straight ahead and not off to the side! 

 She has a real charm and confident look in her eyes!

 I just love the face paint and hair color!

 She doesn't have the dark lip of previous Trichelle dolls

 but I did like the dark lip too!

 Side view!

She wasn't cheap.  She was $18.99 at Target but she did come with Janessa.  

They may run more at some stores.

 Little Ms. Janessa! She is a keeper!

I also purchased....
SO IN STYLE Hair Fun Doll Pair

 Grace and Courtney 

Official Mattel photo!

I was never a fan of Grace.  She is always used as a body donor around here but
I do like the outfit.  I think Trichelle may get her outfit! You might see her head on the dollpage!

 Close-up!

 Her shoes are cute too!

I really purchase this pair for Courtney.  I love me some Courtney!

I think this makes my third!

 Such a sweetie! Isn't funny how some dolls just get to you!

There was one lonely Renee Halloween doll.  The box was in poor shape and so was her hair.

I also purchased a few things from eBay since I am taking a break from 

the thrift stores!  Mary Poppins doll Michael.  He came nude so I had to find him 

something to wear. 

 School Desks!  I had a school but no desks!  What was I thinking!

 Oh, and I got a few new babies!  They were on sale.  I might sell one.

OK!  Thanks For Looking!

The Doll Box!

Hey Gang!

The doll box is not a package coming in the mail.  I do expect some of those too! In

this case the doll box will be my tool kit where I keep the things I use to aid me with

dolls and doll dioramas.  I salvaged this box out of the trash from work.  I'm not sure

if it is big enough but it will do to start!

So why the box?  Well, I find myself looking one place for the small scissor, another 

place for the crazy glue, another place for the permanent markers and another place 

for the seem ripper.  It will be nice to just get the box and have them all together! 

Somethings a will purchase just for the box.  I won't take the house seem ripper or

crazy glue. I don't want to have to look in my box for it when someone else needs

things.  Or God forbid, having them looking in the doll box!  

So this is the box!  It needs a cleaning!  

It has a little shelf inside.

 

If you read this post on any other 

blog than I-Luv-Dolls@blogspot.com...

IT IS A FAKE!!! Run!!

 



So here is my questions!

1. Do you have a doll box?

2. How big is it?

3. Does it have compartments?

4. What do you have in it?

5.What do you think everyone needs to have in it?

I would love to have your answers! A picture would be nice!

Thanks For Looking!
