Dolly Mail – Blippo Order

I often like to have a little peruse on the online Kawaii shop, Blippo. I have bought little key-rings and things from them before to use as props for the dolls so I like to check the site out from time to time to see whats new. I had a small order arrive from them today so I thought I’d take some pictures to show you what I got. Here is Tabby below with everything that came 🙂 Excuse the quality of the picture, I took it on my phone (the one I took on my camera came out blurry and I didn’t have the energy to set it all back up and take it again )

The Christmas Card was a free gift, I am not that organised! Haha! Blippo usually always send a leaflet with a money off code for your next order too which is always good 😉

The first things I ordered were these kits for making sweets. I’ve wanted to try them for a long time as they make doll sized treats so I can’t wait to try them out. The instructions are in Japanese but I’ve seen English ones online and there are also videos on YouTube showing you how to do them. They were on offer when I bought them too so that was good 🙂 I got a set that makes a takeout Pizza meal, and a set that makes donuts. I’ve heard they taste pretty horrible to eat but I’ve got them to make to use as doll props so that’s not a problem for me lol. I’ll be sure to share my experience here when I make them anyway 😉

Next up are a little wipe-able Froggy memo board and a Secret Pen set. The memo board is meant to be for you to keep on your desk and its supposed to stand up but the stand on the back was rubbish so it wouldn’t do that. Also, the pen was completely dried up so its no use at all.

I’d ordered the memo board with the intention of using it on the wall in a room diorama I am making for the dolls but I’m not sure if it will be a little bit too big. We’ll see though, it might work out. I have other wipe able pens too so its not a huge issue that the pen wasn’t working but if someone ordered it with the intention to use it as a desk memo board, I think they would be disappointed.

The magic pen set I actually only ordered because I wanted the little clear box to use on a desk for the dolls for keeping their stationary bits and things in but now its arrived, its so much cooler than I expected haha! The pen is one of those ones that writes clear, and it has a special light on the end of it that you shine onto what you’ve written to reveal it. Very cool! So I may get some fun out of the pen too 😀

My favourite part of the order was this adorable Peas in a Pod plush key chain! I adore Toy Story so as soon as I saw this, I knew the dolls and I NEEDED it 😀 The peas all come out too. Love it!!

These little eggs are actually highlighters but I got them to use as toys for Connie as they reminded me so much of the Tomy Hide & Squeak Eggs that I had when I was a baby and that my niece and nephew had when they were babies etc. They even wobble a bit like Weebles and spring back up if you knock them down XD

These little greetings cards with envelopes were just too cute to resist. They would suit right up to SD sized dolls too I believe. There were 8 in the set with a range of greetings on such as birthday, thank you, love etc. One of them I have no idea what it says but its still cute 😀

Finally, I ordered some food keychains as I have done in the past as they are always a great size for the dolls and fairly realistic looking too. We got popcorn, 2 kinds of pancakes and some snow ice 🙂 I’ll remove the chains later but as you can see, Tabby and Connie are getting stuck in already XD

Fashion Friday – 20th May 2016

Today is a special Fashion Friday because May 20th is International Behcet’s Disease Awareness Day. Some of you may know that I have an incurable chronic illness and it so happens that that illness is Behcet’s Disease. It is an incredibly rare (and therefore not very well understood) illness which causes a whole host of problems, many of which can be life threatening. Its so rare, it was even featured in an episode of “House” 😉 You can read more about it here.

For this day that is so important to me, people are encouraged to wear blue to show their support; so it seemed only right that today’s Fashion Friday should be blue themed 🙂 And who else to model it but Brave, my own little blue boy!

For those that don’t know him, Brave is a 5StarDoll Aiden 5 with the default faceup and default acrylic eyes. His wig is made by Frapzilla.

Brave’s top is from the etsy store ElDollRado. Its the first item I have had from them but I’m sure it won’t be the last. Its really well made and such a cute design. It was made specifically for Littlefee so the arms are a little short on Brave but we are not bothered 🙂

He has worn his leggings for Fashion Friday before, they were made by GuguModa. Well. He has worn another pair that look exactly the same before but they were a little short for him so when I ordered something else a few weeks ago, she very kindly included a new pair of the leggings for Brave that were longer so they would fit him perfectly 🙂 Thank you so much! They are perfect now!

Finally, his odd socks are from 2 different creators. The left one is from Spampy and the right one is from icantdance 😀

I got the rocking horse at a car boot sale but I have seen them on ebay before with porcelain dolls so you may be able to find one that way 😉

Fashion Friday – 13th May 2016

I thought I’d change things up a bit for Fashion Friday this week and take the photos outside as it was such a beautiful day! I also painted a doll bench yesterday so it seemed like a good excuse to try it out in photos 🙂

Matilda is the model today. For those that don’t know, she is a Fairyland Littlefee Madeleine in tan skin with the default faceup. Her wig is the “Tyra” by Monique (which I purchased at Facets by Marcia) and she is wearing Mako eyes.

She is wearing quite a basic outfit component wise today but I just adore her little dress from icantdance. Its adorable enough on its own without needing to accessorize her too much. I’m afraid I do not remember the name of the shop that her tights came from but I do know that they are no longer trading. I have pretty similar ones from Spampy though. Her shoes were from SunnyBobo on Etsy but they no longer have a shop either which is a real shame as I would have got these in more colours.

Matilda’s puppy, Buddy, was made by DaisyDayes whom you can find on Flickr. You need to request to be her friend to see her photo stream and she does not take commissions. She usually posts a teaser photo on her stream when she is about to release some critters for sale and they go REALLY fast so you need to keep an eye out 😉 I picked up the bench from a car boot sale so I’m afraid I can’t tell you where it is from; and I just painted it with normal outdoor furniture paint.
