Exploring the World: Dolls in Croatia

Back in September, I had the opportunity to travel to Croatia.  While traveling along the Dalmatian Coast, I was on the lookout for dolls and I found a couple different dolls in some shops in Hvar and Dubrovnik.  There was a shop with many plastic dolls on a spinning rack and each seemed to have a little different flair to them.  My fav had to be the girl with glasses.  I also noticed a ceramic doll-like figure during my travels that I thought was quite lovely. Travel dolls also came with me to Croatia.  Below are two Momoko posing at Diocletian's Palace in Split.

New Designs for IT Ladies

The Los Angeles Integrity Toys 2013 convention is getting close, so I have been sewing up a storm of IT dolly clothing.  Some are currently up on my Etsy site, but many will debut at the IT convention.  See some sneak peeks below. Along with Jem and Fashion Royalty clothing, there will be a good amount of Poppy Parker/Misaki outfits.  The Monster High inventory will be back as well.  Be sure to check out Etsy after the convention, because any remaining inventory will be up for sale.

Grail Dolls: Queen V

Today's post is about one of my grail dolls, Queen V.  Queen V is a DollyBird mook exclusive for their 10th anniversary.  She is a Veronique Perrin sculpt, LE400.  She came with all kinds of extra pieces, but today she decided to just wear her gown and jewelry as she wandered through her new home. This doll will likely be one of the last ones I ever part with.

Promenade Amelie

Another lovely doll arrived today, Promenade Amelie.  Let's take a look at some real-life photos of this dolly. Her print top reminds me of the the 04ANlw Momoko because of the white top and large print of a doll face.  Perhaps that is why I was drawn to this doll.  The Amelie shoes are delicate and wonderful in all their metallic and platform wonder.  Don't forget about the oversized bag with the FR Nippon logo.  This lady is advertising herself and her company.

Her matching counterpart, Misaki, is also fabulous, but I decided to limit myself to one doll, for now.

Jem and the Holograms: Jerrica Benton

Just out of the box is an Integrity Toys Jerrica Benton from Jem and the Holograms. I picked up this lovely lady during a damaged box sale. I'm certainly a fan of those blue and white stripes and her great little white clutch.  I was pretty excited to get a pair of blue shades, but her shades broke immediately after opening the box.  The hinge and lens definitely require extra care.  Jerrica came with an extra pair of hands and stand as well.
