Dolly Market Forum

There's a nice park a couple blocks from my house, and they recently set up a cool little concrete marker thing to commemorate its location on historic Route 66. I've been wanting to take some doll photos with it for a while, and finally got around to it this week, so Marty, Jace, Nevada, and Nemo took a little trip to the park with me!









They also recently put up a couple of these painted pallet American flags, which I thought made for a fun backdrop as well.

Those are some lovely photos!! They're so cute hanging out at the sign! I especially love the 3rd and 6th photo. :3

Aw, they look like they're having fun

Ha -- clever use for a pallet. Looks like a fun shoot. I like the 2nd one of them all on top of the sign. And in the first pic, they look like they're hoping to hitch a ride.

How fun to have something this interesting right in town! Nice photos!

Wow, what cool photos in the lovely setting sun! Your dolls seem so relaxed and happy.

Route 66, wow, I'd love to drive the whole thing someday xD

I love all of your photos kids seems to have had a good time.

Awww, your dolls are so adorable! I love how you were able to get them all balanced on the route 66 sign That is such a neat idea to have them all hanging out on the sign. The one with the sun peeking through the American flag has such a beautiful effect <3! And I love how Marty and Jace got to spend some time alone together on the ledge They look so sweet together! I hope that there date went well after Nevada got them together.

Thank you so much for all the kind comments!

Now that you mention it, they do! I feel like Jace would be very uncomfortable with the general sketchiness of hitchhiking, though (although I could see him tagging along to try and keep the others out of trouble!)

Interestingly enough, I grew up in Springfield, Illinois, which is also on Route 66, so I've lived in Route 66 territory for quite some time now. I brought lots of Route 66 trinkets with me when I went to Japan last summer to give to new friends because it's something interesting from both the places I call home, and it's cool that it's well-known around the world too!

I keep saying I need to get their first date photoshoot done. I know what I want to do with it generally how I want it to happen, and all I'm really lacking now is a couple of necessary props and time to actually take the pics. I'm hoping it can maybe happen next week!
