davidd’s A DOLL A DAY 2022

Great use of tin cans & tinfoil for a setting!


OUCH!!  For second-hand???
They're cool dolls and all, but, the prices are nutz.

Yes - and the tin cans and aluminum foil (used, no less) offer a glimpse in to my budget limitations. 

Yup, for second hand! They're "discontinued models," you see. And they include a number of accessories and costume bits, both "name brand" and custom made. Definitely beyond my (current) budget, although my most recent lottery ticket won me a "free" lottery ticket, so I have one more chance!

But if selling the Smart Dolls did give you more space what would you fill it with?

Good question. Probably with something far less interesting and much less fun.

14 January - Scourge of the Seven Seas: Addie Fulfills her Destiny

Addie was meant to be a pirate since she joined the Smart Doll crew here, back in October 2019. That was my intent when I brought her in to the fold. In fact, Addie, or more formally, Adeline, takes her name from a character in one of my favorite books of all time, Adventure at Black Rock Cave (1959) by Patricia Lauber. Some editions of Adventure at Black Rock Cave indicate a former alternate title on the title page, Addie and the Pirates, although I have not yet been able to find a published copy under that title.

Now, in mid-January 2022, Addie the Pirate is finally ready to set sail! Yo ho! Yo ho! A pirate's life for she!

Addie's pirate costume is a mix of Smart Doll and Pullip Doll components.

As for that passing whim I mentioned about selling or otherwise parting with any of my Smart Doll crew, I think this photo scuttles that option once and for all.

I need to get a full-length pic that shows her boots! Gotta love the boots!
