Not only assorted Tonners and Drearys reside in Drearydom. The place wouldn't be complete without a Kish to two.

Right - “Floral Revelry” Bethany stands 12” tall, with 13 points of articulation. Her vinyl head is hand painted with blue eyes and she wears her pale blonde mohair in a classic bob. Her new head sculpt is updated with a little more mature version of the original Bethany. Here, Bethany wears a sleeveless dress with a two tiered skirt of floral design on a black back ground and black & tan stripes (matching her bodice). Her red wool felt bolero jacket is festooned with floral and geometrical details, fixed with tiny beads. Completing her ensemble are black boots over black tights and a crisp toque mirroring the gray, red and burgundy in her jacket with embellishments of the same floral design front and center.

Drearyly ring in the holiday season

My Drearyness is complete. My last grail Dreary has been added to the collection and what a remarkable journey it has been. I learned via the internet that adults (many of us kids at heart) are serious doll collectors and even have groups that support our hobby. Big Grin! Along the way I have made so many wonderful friends who have helped me through a doll crisis here and there and even a few down times in my real deal life. You all mean the world to me and I could never begin to express my love and appreciation for our friendship. XOXOXOXO (click on pictures to enlarge)
