Hello doll lovers!! It is almost one whole year since I started this blog, alot can change in a year. This year has been absolutely crazy and I can say with out a doubt that it has been different for everyone on the planet. But I will say that starting this blog has been so great for me. Even though no one reads my posts I still love writing them and sharing them, more for me than anything. It helps me to remember when I purchased dolls and it lets me look back on my restorations (since they are in storage for now).
When I say that a lot can change in a year, boy you can tell by this blog. When I started this blog a year ago I was in denial about my doll "collecting" I kept saying "I don't collect but I love to hunt them" that was complete denial because I did not want to admit to myself there was another collection in my house. If I kept saying oh I am going to restore and sell these it didn't seem so bad to buy them. I have since let myself be ok with collecting my dolls, in fact I may have made it a little too ok for me. I used to reign it in a bit but now I'm Ariana Grande "I see it, I like it, I want it, I got it"....... I am really trying to stop that mind set, lord knows I have so many dolls that need restored already but if I see a vintage girl or a monster high I am going to get it. Or an american girl doll, bitty baby, ever after high I need to stop the list is endless.
I have been a lot happier lately and I do enjoy my thrift adventures every week to see what I can find. The possibility of finding some rare or hard to find doll out thrifting for mere pocket change is such an awesome feeling. I also still like to sell dolls as well of course but it has been a little harder this year but I am hoping to get back to that in the next year or so. I enjoy sharing my excitement and my restorations, this blog gives me a purpose, it's my hobby..... Wow I can finally say I have a hobby, but I really can't say that to anyone in my actual life. I mean they would be like are you seriously a 39 year old woman playing with dolls?? Of course that would be a big time YEP! So I guess what I am saying is "I AM a doll collector and I LOVE to hunt them too!"
