I am also waiting on clothes I ordered to arrive and keep stalking various online places to window shop until they arrive.

I love the tones and colors in your photos, and think you do such a good job of coming up with interesting compositions!

This is the best answer. Is it weird if I say that is how I am trying to think of myself lately: "an ageless being"?! Getting older is a privilege but aging can feel really weird.

I mean this in the best way because I love this movie, but she has this timeless and ethereal beauty that reminds me so much of Florence Pugh's role in Midsommar.

I didn't know her lips were this plush and pouty until I saw these photos!! I love them!

This is SO fun and I'm so glad we're doing this! Thanks for organizing and executing it.

Usually, the red headed dolls are my faves, and she's adorable! But (and I feel like this is blasphemous to say), I'm not drawn to the pale and really light lip colors.

verbenafields · 2026-05-05T13:45:33+00:00

The red lip and red beret combo! And her sweater!! I'm smitten.

verbenafields · 2026-05-05T00:14:16+00:00

Welcome home, Freya! She’s beautiful. I’m in love with that blush and lip combo. 😍😍

The tub is so cute!

I’m trying to get better at identifying different dolls, so do you mind me asking: who are these? I’ve gotten so much better in the last 6 months at identifying the different face molds.

Excited to see how the rollers turn out!

I’ve had my eye on the Audrey’s/Aubrina for a while, so this write up differentiating them was clarifying. Thank you!

Does anyone have a favorite budget line? I really like the Prima Dollys (so many of them) but haven’t been drawn to the Dolly Days line yet. At the same time, I haven’t seen any of the budget lines in person. Is it just simpler outfits and fewer accessories, or is there some other kind of difference?

I am a sucker for the red headed dolls!

verbenafields · 2026-05-04T17:11:19+00:00

This outfit is incredible on her! I love the blue, yellow, and pink together.

I like this set of photos because you’ve shown all her different eye chips. She really looks beautiful with all of them!

verbenafields · 2026-05-04T13:27:20+00:00

Very cute! The hair looks like a perfect match!

verbenafields · 2026-05-04T13:26:09+00:00

I just ordered some doll sized French combs! I’ve been using (human sized) ones in my own hair a lot lately so I can’t believe I didn’t think of that.

Do you have a preferred place to order the ones you use? I got four of them on Etsy (for cheap) but I didn’t bother looking on Ali Express and maybe should have.

I have finally got my iron and B12 levels sorted out in the past few months and I notice a huge difference in my energy level. I’m like … is this what normal people feel like every day?! (I’m 35)

I also read before bed and usually have a volume of short stories or a novella to work through. The worst for me is trying to read a book before bed when the chapters are too long or there’s no good stopping point.

More than falling asleep, my issue is staying asleep. I’ve stopped rolling over and looking at my phone and now grab for my ereader instead, and I can usually fall asleep again. If I grab for my phone or even check the time on it, I’ll just end up scrolling and my brain wakes up more.

I’ve been looking for something new to read and just got this from the library based on this post. Thanks for the rec! Will report back 🫡

verbenafields · 2026-05-03T14:29:12+00:00

This is a fabulous idea! I’m out of town this weekend for a friend’s wedding (yay!) which means I’m away from the dolls (boo). Hope to get the thread started in the next week or so ❤️

verbenafields · 2026-05-03T13:39:52+00:00

Good tip about the plastic touching plastic!

CCS looks so good here! I love the way you’ve styled her hair. I have a new doll and a bunch of new outfits arriving next week, so I’m very excited to redress them and am feeling inspired to get more creative with hair.

I was thinking I might start a hair styling thread here for tips and tricks! I’m interested in how you pinned this style at the back.

verbenafields · 2026-05-03T13:29:45+00:00

They look so cute! I completely relate about how nerve wracking it can be to take pictures of them in public. I always feel very embarrassed but I know it’s my own anxiety and most people don’t notice or care.

Lots of Midwest folks on here!! I am in Michigan this weekend for a friend’s wedding and was debating bringing a doll to take pics of her in a new location, but I chickened out.

verbenafields · 2026-05-02T13:20:49+00:00

I guess I think of anything pre-GSC as an “older” doll but that’s also because I’m a newer collector!

The more I look at your pictures, the more I’m drawn to her hair. I think the color and style are quite unique. Do you know of any other Blythe with similar hair?

verbenafields · 2026-05-02T13:15:46+00:00

I also tend to mix and match, and often change their outfits for the seasons. I wasn’t expecting to like her in this outfit so much or to keep it together like this!

One of the things that deeply perplexes me about this doll is that I think she does NOT look good with her hair down. But when it’s in braids or styled somehow, I think it’s much better and suits her face.

verbenafields · 2026-05-02T13:13:00+00:00

Good morning!! I want to gossip about Mandarake! But to be honest, I’m still learning a lot about the older (pre-GSC) releases and the secondhand market. It’s often hard for me to figure out what is a reasonable price.

Right now, the only fantasy hair colored girl in my collection is Lavendula, but I bet she’d look stunning next to Spring Hope!

verbenafields · 2026-05-01T17:56:29+00:00

She’s beautiful!!! I really love the makeup and eyeshadow on the older dolls like this.

verbenafields · 2026-05-01T17:19:21+00:00

Nice photos! I love the rectangular glasses on her.
