A few more girls....

I nicknamed these girls "The Brunettes" for obvious reasons.....but also because it helps decribe them.   These girls are antique reproductions, but I like to include them in the Bleuette family because they work so well with Bleuette, especially since all three are on Bleuette bodies.  All have been listed in my online store  www.thedollladyinc.com From left to right, Bru Shandele', Jumeau Arielle, and Alette and Unmarked Belton.

New website....

After being told on Easter morning that The Marketplace....where I parked my online store was closing...panic was the first order of business.  Once 'panic' settled it's ugly head down, hubby and I went searching for a new home base and I now have a new website.  The web address is old www.thedollladyinc.com but the store has a new look and a new place to park.  It took me several days to build the basic store and get it up and running, but it's there and it looks wonderful.  (Even if I do say so myself)  I still have work to do in the "supply" category of the store, but everything else is there.  I was able to add a "Gallery" of adopted kids to this store which, so far, seems to be a favorite place to sit and look through photos.  A nice photo feature that people are enjoying is the ability so enlarge the photos...I hope you take a look.....and let me know what you think and don't forgot to click on the photos to see things up close and personal!  Making some new girls...I'll be posting those in the next 10 days.....Later!

Aiko and Akio

I'm so excited about this new mold I received recently.   Once I finished putting Aiko together, I grab my "stash" and starting going through outfits to find the perfect little dress and found these 2 outfits.  That changed things a little......I just had to make a brother and sister.  Aiko (beloved) and Akio (bright boy) are adorable together.  They are own compostion bodies, stand 11 3/8 inches tall.  They wear Bleuette clothing, shoe size is 37mm.  I will listing them very some in my online store,
Thedollladyinc.com

Well, here she is and so sweet too......Benjamine was Bleuette's first sibling. She was introduced in 1926 but her young life came to a short end in 1929 when Gautier-Langereau retired this little sweetheart. Not because she wasn't loved, but another dollmaker had patented the name.

Benjamine is the same size as Bambino, 9 7/8 inches. She is wearing an adorable outfit, suitable for warm or cooler weather. She has a hooded cape, booties and short overalls. Benjamine has beautiful hard glass blue eyes, multi-stroke brows, painted lower lashes and applied upper mohair lashes. She has a short, curly mohair wig from Bravot of France. Benjamine is on a composition baby body.  You can find additonal photos in my online store.......thedollladyinc.com

Another new girl...

I've been trying to get caught up on my repairs and restorations lately, but I still take time out from that to finish a little girl here and there.  Today is a little 301 Bleuette that I finished Saturday.   She really a sweetheart.....lots of charm and a very happy girl.   She has gorgeous blue eyes, a lovely pale blond mohair wig and that wonderful 301 smile.  She has been listed in my online store.....you may view additional photos there.  My next little girl will be a new and different.....someone I've never made before....her outfit and body are on the way to me....be sure to check back in a few days.

 

Jenny -- anew

I just love Jenny, but there was something wrong....I would look at her and think she's a little 'wallflower'....she was never able to tell her story and most of the other girls just walked by her as if she wasn't even there.  Although I knew in my heart the girls didn't mean to hurt her seelings.....I could tell she was upset being ingnored that way by everyone.   So Jenny and I had a meeting of the minds.  We decided a few changes were in order.  Jenny now has a new 'do' and some new clothes.....and was recently invited to Bleuette's Garden party.....

 You didn't tell me that we were supposed to dress in a Fairy dresses....

 Jenny loves her dog, Poo......(short for Poodle)

A new Baby has arrived!

Good Morning All....
A new baby was born at the studio yesterday.  She has been in the works for a bit and yesterday her 'birth' took place.  Her name is Kaelin....she's 16 inches long and weighs 4 lbs 2 oz.  I found myself holding and rocking her.....as if she were real.  I so enjoy these little babies....much fun to make.  One of these days I'm going to figure out how to finance "Babies for Seniors".....In the meantime....look at this little baby....so sweet!
