Our Little Darlings - Amber by Geri Uribe

A 13 inch vinyl doll with a sweet child's expression and life-like eyes. The sculpts are from Dianna Effner and Amber's face-up is done by Geri Uribe. Not a resin or bjd, but the beauty of this doll surpasses the need for either.

 Amber is the eighth doll on the link below.

(Spring Swap 2012) - Searching for Amelia Thimble

(Here is Part 1 of Amelia Boo and the Swap Baby Adventure - a friendly but fractured photostory told in "maybe it does and maybe it doesn't rhyme" prose. Errors will be plentiful!)

Amelia? Amelia Boo where are you?

 Momoko mother walked throughout Drearydom searching for the little lass. Amelia had visited  PrIm MoUse but the reading chair was now empty with Amelia's shoes left behind.

Amelia's dog Stone played with PrIm KiTtY but mother cat meowed no clues to where Amelia might be.

The pet mice offered no advice.

Sister Lisbet and brother Adam so new were the one's to offer the most helpful clue.

She had gone to visit AlMiRA PrIm to settle in her huge apron pocket for an afternoon nap.

Momoko Mother whispered in Amelia's ear that a wonderful surprise was near.

Maggie - I have something to say!

This makes me want to turn Tonner's Prof M into a Maggie/Violet doll for her stellar performance in Downton Abbey!

Watch Downton Abbey: The Best Maggie Moments on PBS. See more from Masterpiece.

Happiest of birthdays from all of us at Drearydom Larks!

Goodnight BEAR

Remember reading Goodnight Moon to your children, grandchildren, or the kiddies you babysat? That simple little book made the toughest of the lot pause in appreciation of youth and the miracles that could be found in childhood surroundings.

When Janet from the Amelia Thimble group posted this wonderful picture of her tiny doll - the comforting memories of childhood surfaced once more.

Hugetta - part 3

I do own three My Twinns and a few AGs. Never have I owned a doll of this magnitude. When BDFF AM exchanged info about Wednesday's Child after having seen her at the Halloween convention, we both vowed Hugetta would never be added to our collections - esp with a MSRP of  $250. Then we admitted  that we might add her if she dropped down to - let's say twenty-five dollars and - she did! We were obligated. LOL

A size comparison - next to Lenore from My Twinn -

Here is Wednesday's Child (re-named Archer) living happily among the dolls in Drearydom Larks.

Side Note: When DH saw her he claimed she wasn't Halloween scary after all - but had a nice calm face. I felt the same way - but then again I too was born  a Wednesday's child (is full of woe)!

Huge - part two

 This package is not only bigger than a breadbox but as high as my four drawer high Cushman dresser.

 The doll shipper was housed in a box that resembled a coffin or a vault more than a typical Uline.

 This big shipper on the left houses the doll of question next to an Agnes Dreary shipper.

 Here is a typical full size bed.

Here is the same bed with doll box and shipper covering 2/3s of the comforter.

One can say huge things are happening here.
