All things from St. Nikki - Christmas 2010
Brilliant in Burgundy
Amanda wears this elegant gown - a Christmas pressie from AM. For one of the big dolls - Amanda aka Lady Caroline Cumberbunch of Blackthorne Manor seems to look smashing in all she wears. Do believe she is currently in the top stop of my doll collection list.
The Grimm Christmas Dance 2010
Drearys and chaperones alike enjoyed the 2010 RED WHITE BLACK Christmas Dance at Grimm's Fabled Academy for Girls. A special thank you to Jan R for the amazing mascot!

Dolls at a sleep-over in The Oldest House (Laceyville)
Welcome to Laceyville's Oldest House. This is the oldest frame house in four counties : Bradford , Sullivan, Susquehanna, and Wyoming--built in 1781. The house was built by Elihu Hall for the James Smith family. The original tract of land contained 300 acres.
Built using materials from the land that was cleared for the house,the chimney came first and then the surrounding rooms creating three stories and five fireplaces. (from their website)

Kawaii Korner style dolls
My first Jenny and Momoko were purchased as display dolls for my Re-Ment collection. They have been shown previously on this blog. Guess I was never quite fair to the gals bc they were not appreciated for their own beauty. Only display models.
Fast forward - The regular group of CAAD hasn't been very Dreary lately (pardon the pun). Fellow Agdrearyian and doll friend Nikki bought a Misaki and posted pics of her to Kawaii Korner. Knowing I had one Jenny and several Momokos she sent me the link to also join.
Kawaii Korner states they are "The 'korner' on the net where collectors of Blythe, Pullip, Momoko, Misaki, J-Doll, Susie, Volks/ Obitsu, Jenny, Licca, Kurhn, Azone, Petworks, Sekiguchi and Dolly Style dolls can hang out!"
The difference between these dolls and the Drearys? The Drearys are from Tonner and not BJDs. (Except for Stone Cold Agnes Dreary LE 50 who debuted at the 2010 hallween Convention last weekend) The KK girls are mostly 1/6 size BJDs from Asia. Posting on KK allows this type of doll ONLY to be pictured on their board. (I know bc I posted one of My Twinns, Momokos, and Fancy Nancy all dressed up in pink/blue ballet attire and it was removed and I was informed - rightfully so).
The next several blog posts will be showing the Kawaii Korner style dolls in my collection.
Pullip Dal Jun Planning Black Butler Grell arrived this week. Her rename is Nikki (in honor of my dear friend who happens to also be a red) and who encouraged me to join Kawaii Korner!
Correction: Robert Tonner has created other BJDs in addition to the new Stone Cold Agnes. Some examples are BJD Tiny Betsy and Tyler sized fashion doll.

The other little doll
Not a girl doll at all but the first boy released to Ty Girlz. When the Grimm Girls were active in storylines, I would purchase multiples for them - Ty Girlz fashions fit and were affordable. This little boy was wearing jeans and a varsity shirt which worked well for Viktor. Most of the super flashy TG collection got undressed and shipped to Interfaith charity. But I kept this one bc it reminded me of the unadorned little girls in the 50s - most particularly me when I was around nine. LOL Her Halloween costume was a cauldron for trick or treat and and orange barrette in her hair.
Va Va Voom - Amanda Evert stands out
The force to recon with for Lara Croft. Not my usual fare in dollies but if I had to create a character for her in Drearydom - she would make a might powerful PE instructor. Her face up is perfectly detailed along with her inking. And for being such a badie - she even has red toenails. : )

A Grimm paint experience
They didn't look Halloweenie enough so I experimented with paint - to enhance...but then I got carried away.
Hats off to Nikki...
My Tiny Kitty sized dolls are fashion forward wearing their wild witch hats created by Nikki in UK.
The steampunk and vampyre soft dolls were also creations from Nikki displayed for Halloween.

It's beginning to look a bit like HALLOWEEN...
Going for a Victorian black and Lizzie Borden theme this year...fortunately that's rather easy considering the typical style of the Drearys!!!
