Draco - Guess I'm not the newest doll in Drearydom anymore.
AD - You can't possibly believe there's a doll in that box!?
Draco - Maybe she got a new pal for My Twinn Lenore.
Carly  (from upstairs) - You two stay away from that package. A proper unboxing will occur tomorrow.
AD (big eye roll) This place has just gone from Drearydom to DrearyDUMB!

A prim for Agnes Flexi (from Etsyian Needledoodles)

Calling this a combined dolls for dolls and prim post. I always feel better when my displays present the dolls with an appropriate prop nearby or in hand. This - then - requires a separate accumulation of mini toys and dolls.

Flexi Agnes was sitting so lonely in her twig chair (eyes tired from wearing her glasseds and too much online time w/ her mini computer  from Auntie Penne). Friday the 13th and not a Dreary was celebrating. Etsy came to the rescue in my search for a prim pal especially for Flexi. All better now (says Flexi wearing a big Dreary non-grin bc Drearys never smile you know).

Dolly Mini Me - perhaps

When most doll collector's are asked which doll resembles them - they have an answer. I never did. I just looked like oldie but (mostly) goodie me - and no doll I knew of.

Today I connected a new printer/scanner which had me searching through boxes of photos for things to scan and I think I may have found a mini me dolly connect! At the age of three to five.

It's the wide opened eye stare that seals it! LOL The doll is a MDCC Mini Ginny from St. Petersburg.

Oh Baby (the LN Harris kind)

This little darling is  (Ellery Kish)  a OOAK named Shylee by LN. This doll is perfection - from her body resin to hair to face-up. What a beauty - I am spellbound and so delighted to have her in my collection!!!!!

New dolls added in 2011 - fingers crossed Mr. Tonner decides to add some new Drearys for 2012.

So that's what you think of my doll collection????

My son was alarmed when I began collecting dolls five years ago. When he informed  me a 2011 Christmas present from him to me was doll related, I was elated! What could it be? Perhaps that Tonner Tia Dalma I was searching for - or - a Lati White  - maybe???

He got me this book -

Don't believe his opinion of my dolls has changed one bit! LOL
