Facebook: Pastel Prism

Besides YouTube, I also have started a Facebook account.

I kinda diverted from Flickr, as FB proves to be more interactive.

Progress is just right as I am able to post every week. Having a smart phone also helps a lot in keeping up. Like right now, I am typing this inside the car while stuck in traffic.

The FB account consists of current as well as throwback items.

And as always, I am hopeful in terms keeping it updated.

Please add me. See you soon!

Incoming Assorted Dolls

I just ordered online another set of dolls and few re-ment items. They are expected to arrive either tomorrow or Wednesday.

Besides that the online shop's holding a sale, I also find the dolls as good buys. I will definitely do thorough cleaning but depending on their status, I might change their clothes.

You'll see the seller's photos below:

One of them looks like a toddler Mariah Carey, don't you think? I'll still have to identify her when she arrives.

The Elsa doll has minor damages but since she's an Animator, I don't mind. She'll be the first on my collection as the Animator line is not available in my country.

I am also excited about the Tyco as it was released early 90's. I was surprised that it's supposed to be a 'mommy' doll and she's supposed to be pregnant.

I also go the naked Liv doll, which I will resdress as I have several Liv fashions in my collection.

The re-ments and small items will be added to my dollhouse project.

For Groovy Girl plush, I just thought of getting because I have several playsets like pool, kitchen, etc and yet I didn't have an actual doll. The Barbies and other fashion dolls can actually share the playsets with her as they are of similar sizes.

That's it for today. Ciao!

The Attic Project

I am in the process of cleaning up our attic and I am so glad to be finding a lot of treasures - toys and dolls of course.

My 8-year old niece and I have decided to divide it into 2: one side for her to display her dolls, and one side for me.

Oh by the way, my niece have lately discovered the joy of doll collecting, which  obviously was my influence. This have made her decide to take good care of her dolls as she used to ruin them.

For my part of the attic, I plan to convert one corner into a mini studio, where I can take photos and videos of my toys in order for my YouTube and online accounts to progress.

As a starter, I have already orderes online 2 rotating displays that I can use for small toys and dolls and 1 set of portable studio.

So nice to have something to look forward to. I'd definitely keep you posted. Ciao!

Here are my incoming items:

Hope you'd enjoy watching as much as I enjoy making these videos.

Thanking you in advance!

Happy 2018!

Happy new year everyone! I know January is almost over but it's better late than never! 😁

...and my doll addiction continues.

Besides deboxing my previous dolls, I am also often on toy stores so I can score good deals. The last holiday season was abundant with doll supplies and the best news is that the dolls were on sale!

Just imagine how fast my heart beats whenever I see the dolls.

I've completed the Hasbro Disney Princesses Royal Shimmer series composed of 11 dolls. I also have 3 out of 4 Frozen dolls (2 Elsa & 1 Anna) and bonus of Olaf doll/figure. Then Elena doll playset where she was with Isabelle plus her friend Naomi Turner doll.

I also got about 5 additional Monster High playsets during the Richwell sale.

I got several Takara Licca dolls (about 8) during my Taiwan trip last September.

And of course, lots of Barbie dolls!

Besides visiting toy shops, I also got several pieces from online shops like eBay, Lazada, Facebook and Shopee.

Kurhn has become my latest obsession. Starting last November, I now have 17 Kurhn dolls and I am certain that they'll grow this year.

I also found several Disney Store dolls like Rapunzel, Maleficent and Mulan. Yipee!!!

I also was able to find a reborn doll at a great price.

Before the end of  2017, I also scored few items - Twozies, Gift 'ems and Koeda Chan dolls from Takara Tomy. Cuties!

That's all for now. Will write more about my doll adventures. This January, I've acquired new dolls already that are really interesting.

Ciao!

Rescue Doll: Kelly with White Tika Elephant from the Barbie the Island Princess Movie

Kelly Doll with White Tika Elephant from the Barbie the Island Princess Movie

I used to identify "doll rescues" with dolls that are purchased second hand from thrift shops and online stores.

Now I realized that the term is also applicable to old stocks but weren't really played with.

Barbie and the Island Princess was released in 2007. As for this Kelly Doll, she's gone through rough times, I can say. I am pretty sure she's been transferred numerous times to different stores, then sale kiosks, then placed in storage and got forgotten until the stockperson did a cleanup and finally found them.

Priced at P200 (appox $4), this is already a steal since she comes with Tika the elephant. She came with an extremenly dented box and Tika being dirty and stained.

So here's where the rescue came in. I tooked them out of the box. I used a wet tissue used to clean the house, as regular tissues won't be able to take off the stains.

I am glad that they are already part of my collection. I am also happy with the outcome of the cleaning session.

Below are photos of the process:

Used a household wet tissue which was effective in cleaning Tika. The flash from the camera made the tissue seem clean but in reality, 

Kelly and White Tika all happy with their makeover!

Dolly Deliveries!!!

Yay! I'm quite flooded with messages that my orders are being delivered. I thought I have timed them properly so it would not cause confusion as some are CODs. However, the ones coming from overseas arrived earlier than expected and gets delivered together with my local online purchases. I'm overwhelmed!

On the other hand, this makes me extremely excited as these parcels are all dolls.

I am out of town as of this writing and I can't wait to get home! I love opening packages.

Just to give a sneak peek, here are what I am expecting (please note that these are all sellers' photos):
