World Doll Day Tag

Before I start doing some sewing today I wanted to respond to the tag "invite" I was graciously honored to participate in from Phyllis of A Day in the Life of my Dolls and Jewell over at Doll-Lightful.  The event took place on Sunday, June 14, 2015 and you can learn about it more here.

All you need to do is:
A - List 3 favorite dolls from the ones you got last year.
B - List 3 dolls currently on your wish list.
C - Tag 5 people to do the same.

Would you believe I did not purchase any new doll last year. That right folks, not one. I opted to buy a new Singer Serger instead. One did get away so hopefully I will luck up and find her again. After all the hunt is always worth it.

My wish list is a different story all together. I hope to have these three cuties sometime this year. First up we have this beauty below.
She is Mattel's AA Little Red Dress Silktone Barbie and she reminds me of my grandmother when she would get dressed. Simply elegant. I can't wait to welcome her here to Dotsville. She will be named after my late grandmother Mrs. Emma McKiever.

Next up will be my first 18" doll. Whom I should of relocated to Dotsville when I first saw her but I could not figure out how to sneak her in the apartment without my son seeing her, lol. He says the dolls are taking over but they really aren't. It his Sideshow Collectibles that's everywhere!  Ok, let me digress.... On so here is My Life As a School Girl, AA version. She is so cute and she reminds of my son when he first started wearing glasses, just too cute. I like the American Girl dolls but this little cutie wants to live here with the rest of her "sister" so she will be coming home----soon. She was and could be available at Walmart sooooo......yeah...she might be moving in by Saturday, lol. My son middle name is Larue so her name will be Lauren when she arrives. 
My Life As School Girl 18" Doll, African American
Ok everyone you know how jealous I am of  Mrs. DBG collection aaannnndddd I try not to be enabled BUT it happens! I was minding my own business and clicked on this cutie and she said she wanted to relocate to Dotsville. I mean she really spoke to me! We can't ignore them right? I mean when the dolls look in our eyes and say "Take Me Home" we have to do it right? Pray for me....

This is Jordyn by Monika Levenig and just look at those eyes. See how she is saying, "Hi Brini, I'm waiting to meet my sister Scarlet and Isabella Mayte." I let one of her dolls get away from me but I don't  think this one will. I love everything about her. She does come in a brunette version as well.

So yes, those are my three I will definitely have this year. I have a few other but these are the top three hands down. 

Now for the five individuals I like to tag and celebrate the occasion and share their collection.....
1. All4Barbie  -  Marta
2. Limbe Dolls  - Paulette
3. Revenge off the Toy Box - JSarie
4. Duke of Swann - Daniel
5. I Luv Dolls - Ms. Leo

Enjoy the rest of the week Everyone!

    A year without new dolls! I admire your restraint with that.
    All three of your wish list dolls are gorgeous, but I especially love the hair on the 18" doll - adorable!

    And thanks for the tag - I'll get on it! :)

      Thanks. I think the pink streaks showcase her eyes. I really should of brought her back. I figure this time I'm just going to tell my son I forget I had her. I place her in the big Wonder Women box when we were working on donations. He might fall for it then again he might not.

    I'm still reeling from, "I did not purchase any new dolls last year." What?! You have my admiration, too. Love your wish list dolls and that last one is too precious for words.

      I can't tell you how much I love your blog! It's something about seeing her in red and the little pill box hat that is so Jackie O.

    Hi Brini, a great list! The Silkstone Barbie is gorgeous, so elegant! I like the two other girls too, who can resist those sweet faces? And you have amazing willpower, not having bought any dolls last year! I hope the new ladies will arrive soon :-).

      Yes, so true, so true. Once I obtain these three, well there are at least 15 more to obtain.

    I have too big of a doll addiction to go a full year without buying a single doll (even though I don't need any more). So I admire your discipline! I LOVE Jordan. She is irresistible!

    You are my hero for not buying any dolls last year. I agree those last two dolls have eyes that will suck a person in every time. At least we know they will have a great home once they get to Dotsville.

      Once I decided on getting a new serger it was easy to forgo the dolls. I hope to get all of them soon and then pray I can obtain on of those AA Midas Touch Poppy and Anthony Julian from the Jem and the Hologram Collection.

      Yes, I have all this fabric over here I have to sew up and it was only fitting I get a new serger to help too, At least that's what I tell myself, lol. Mattel never seems to get the silkies wrong.

    You have a terrific list of dolls to hunt for. I love your Grandmother's name. So gentle and romantic. It's a perfect doll name. Happy hunting! And may you get great deals on them too! ;)
    hugs♥,
