The Dilemna of Unboxed dolls..

The dilemna of unboxed dolls... that is my subject for my blog post this morning. 

This weekend I was doing some sorting of dolls and thought I should do a blog post and start de-boxing my 'new' 1990's wedding day Barbies and Midge dolls and 'found' more dolls that have not been freed from their boxes. The list is long and worse, I have two dolls from the W Club awaiting payment that will be arriving soon and they will need to be de-boxed as well. I am a little overwhelmed and attempting to figure out what and where I am going to be putting them as the circus dolls have been deboxed but- their boxes need to be organized. Right now, here are the dolls  waiting to be de-boxed...

My Poppy Parkers- Sweet Sixteen just arrived a couple of weeks ago, but the Stand Up and Cheer! and Glamour Poppy arrived like- last year? and I still have not deboxed these two. Somehow, they are just lovely to look at and I cannot resist Poppy dolls with ponytails. They are so adorable. 

 

Then, there was this Fresh doll and this other doll, Fresh Squad Anthony and Jr. Rainbow High Bella, I think the name was. She was in that cute bunny outfit. I purchased them both on sale at insanely low prices on an impulse buy and have yet to debox them. I should have at least done the bunny at Easter, but forgot. I think I have another Jr. Rainbox high that hasn't been deboxed yet either. 

Then of course, the 1990's Wedding Day Midge and Alan , Barbie and Ken, Stacey and Todd dolls that I purchased some at Arc of the Thrift Barbie Palooza and the rest on Ebay. I had this whole blog post planned with a wedding diorama- totally dropped the ball on that one. 

So right now I hope to get to organizing and de-boxing but in the meantime, will be preparing for some fun Independence day/ Fourth of July photos!

Mini Brands Books Series 2

 I love Zuru Mini Brands - recently I purchased one of the Mini Brands Books- 

Series 2. These tiny books are adorable and come with different surprises- a teacup, or a cat, a magnifying glass or a lamp. The 2nd series seems to have more  a variety than the first one, and I am glad. My egg had Dracula, a Ronald Dahl book, and an Emma book with a Sherlock Holmes bookmark, and a white teacup and saucer. 

                    The books have actual tiny print/ writing in them. 

The books and accessories fit both 1:6 scale dolls like Barbie, Ken and Poppy Parker and Fashion Royalty dolls and Skipper. I have also shown my Madra W club 16 inch fashion doll so you can see the teacup is really sized to fit her too, along with the books, which look like small paperback books in her hands.
