Blythe New Release - Doronjo x Blythe

In February Takara is releasing a new doll called Doronjo x Blythe which is a collaboration doll based on a character from a anime movie called "Yatterman". The movie is based on the 1970s TV program with the same name and Doronjo x Blythe has an outfit and look that is very similar to one of the characters from the movie.

Here are some of the promo shots from blythedoll.com


This doll is very different from any other Takara Blythe release and even though I am not necessary crazy about the outfit (ok well the glasses and the mask are pretty cool) , She is the doll that I have been waiting for and now I would really like to find out a way to justify purchasing her!

It is a slow season for jewelry at the moment with the holidays being over and the economy not being so great so I have been spending some time building my Blythe shop inventory instead. Here are a couple of new additions to the shop that I listed this week:

New Item in My Jewelry Shop

During the craft shows that I participated in this holiday season the one request I kept getting was a sterling silver starfish charm, that I used with a large shell Swarovski crystal necklace, on it's own. I have finally made the starfish necklace which can be found in my etsy shop.

Blythe As Sweet As Candy

Christmas feels like it was just over a minute ago and already all the shops are full of things for Valentine's Day. It now feels like one holiday almost overlaps the next holiday when it comes to retail stores.

This Valentine's Day it is not only chocolate and candy that can be sweet...your Blythe doll can be too with this new item that can be found at BlytheCouture. The Candy Heart hats are hand knitted by my talented mum with super soft baby yarn and it comes in the three color combinations; dusty pink , off-white or dark pink. These color combinations are shown below:

Traveling with your Blythe

I really like to take my Blythe doll and photographing them in different places but the shoe box that I was carrying them around in just was not convenient. There are lots of different carriers out there but I don't like the ones that are a rectangular piece of fabric that you tie around the doll and I don't think that the dolls hair would look very good after being in a plastic carrier. Finally I found a cute, affordable and convenient dolly carrier by Sew Pixie Designs!!

The carrier comes in lots of different colors and styles of quilted fabric, there is a face cover and a zip up the front. The one in the picture is the first one that I bought and then I liked it so much that I bought two more for my other girls. Now I can carry the girls anywhere and have them protected before they make it to the photo shoot!

Want a dolly carrier of your own? then check out SewPixie Designs etsy shop.

New Member of the Blythe Family

This post is a little after the fact but here is the story:

I had been looking at getting another Blythe doll since my birthday in September and just wasn't sure I could really justify spending the money. The doll that really had caught my eye was one that was called Bow Wow Trad who has special eye chips and comes with a little black dog. After many months I finally decided to purchase her on ebay as it looked like the prices were about to go up again and I wanted to catch it before then. I ordered her 10 days before Christmas from Hong Kong so I thought there was no way that I way I would get her before Christmas but I still hoped. On December 22nd it was the last day I could pick up my mail before the holidays and I checked my mail box....sadly there was no notification that I had a package. Oh well, it was wishful thinking anyways. I then went up the stairs to my place and here was the sight that I saw:

I couldn't believe my eyes and I have to admit that I jumped up and down a little bit! Introducing my new Blythe doll and Blythe Couture model, a Bow Wow Trad called appropriately named Holly for the holiday season.
