dolls out of the box

The EAH doll for this month is Rosabella Beauty. She likes to sit in Maddie Hatter's tea room - read a book and drink tea.

Many of the girls wanted to take part in the Halloween celebrations this year. So I had to make and buy a lot of costumes.

I bought Shannon's dress on Etsy and made her cloak using a pattern from Etsy.

I bought Vivian's dress on Etsy,too.


I bought Barbie's dress on Amazon.


This was part of a challenge to make a Halloween costume from a human item -.
The unicorn costume used to be a pencil-case.











After a long time they put on their original dresses.


The costume I like most. I made it from an old Halloween dress that I had lying around, I bought the wings and the horns in the euro store and my husband printed the trident on the 3D printer.


Of course I had to buy some new dolls,too.

The Barbies have been very busy prepairing for Halloween.
They have decorated the front door of the doll house.


And of course they have also decorated the inside of the house.


Some of the girls went to the pumkin patch to find the right pumpkins for Jack-o-lanterns and for cooking.


Other girls carved the pumpkins ...












... or prepared the Halloween food.


They chose the costumes - most of them dressed up as Disney princesses.


Now Trick-or-treating has started. The little ones also put on costumes.


Witch Barbie and her unicorn helper are handing out self made goodies bags.

Nellie put on her new witch costume for Halloween - I bought the witch hat in Salem, Massachusetts a few years ago. So, it's an original .

I had so many other projects to do lately that I didn't get around introducing my new dolls. So, here comes the first part:

First a new addition to my Phicen collection - I bought the head and the body separately.



New addition to the Harry Potter doll collection.


I am a great Alice in Wonderland fan - so of course I bought her as soon as she appeared on the Disney store website.


The BMR 1959 collection is growing.














And a new Minifee doll - Vivian (called Vivi) on the right.

In the evening


When it gets dark, the Frankies make a nice bonfire, sit around it, telling stories, playing the guitar and singing. Of course there are also roasted marshmallows.














It's bedtime

At lunch

Lunch time is barbecue time. Frankie I is in charge of the food again. There are sausages and burgers.

















Game time



After lunch there is time for games.


























Then it's tea- or coffeetime, as you like, with cake of course.

I was not on holiday this year, but instead I sent my dolls on holiday. The Frankies had a camping tour in their restored Barbie Star Traveller. Here come a few impressions from their holidays.

In the morning


The most important thing is to start the day with a good breakfast. Frankie one is a very good cook and she always prepares a great breakfast with everything you desire: eggs, bacon, toast ...




























After breakfast


After breakfast it's time for some activities.

Tiffany is the Moxie for October - dressed Oktoberfest-style with suitable accessories.

The EAH doll for this mont is Apple White. She owns a boutique in Dollietown, together with her friend Ashlynn Ella - the "Failrytale Boutique" .

In September we have got two EAH dolls - the O'Hair Twins, Poppy and Holly. They own a beauty and hair salon in Dollietown. Holly likes to wash and style hair - Poppy likes to cutting hair more.

These are my Enchantimals dolls so far:
1. Redward Rooster and Cluck;Petya Pig with Streusel and Nisha; Bree Bunny and Twist; Cailey Cow and Curdle; Mayla Mouse and Fondue

2. Winsley Wolf and Trooper; Hixby Hedgehog and Pointer; Bren Bear and Snore; Sage Skunk and Caper; Felicity Fox and Flick







3. Cherish Cheetah and Quick-Quick; Andie Alligator and Marshy; Tanzie Tiger and Tuft; Sela Sloth and Treebody; Larissa Lemur and Ringlet

4. Fanci Flamingo with Swash and Kiba; Zelena Zebra and Hoofette; Gillian Giraffe and Pawl; Tamika Treefrog and Burst

I finally finished the last touches on my Enchantimals doll house. Now my little dolls have got a suitable home that they can share with their animal friends. I decorated the house to make it look as if they lived in the middle of nature-with lots of plants and natural materials. As I didn't have much space I had to build a house with many floors - so it's more high than wide.


Here are the different floors:
On the ground floor there is a little café and a shop.




























In the first floor there is the living room with a big balcony.

















In the attic there is the bedroom ....




There is also a rooftop terrace for those who are not afraid of heights.










Outside the house there is a green space for the bigger animals and of course - trees.



The bathroom is outside near a big waterfall. (Well - a poster of a waterfall)

There is another terrace with Calico Critters furniture.

Finally - after more than one year and a lot of work the camper is finished.
Let's remember.

Over a year ago, the Frankies decided to buy a camper and go on holiday. There were a few criteria: the camper needed to offer enough space for eight Frankies, it had to be the suitable colour ( no Barbie pink) and they didn't want a pool. After some searching in the internet, we found the Barbie Star Traveller from 1976 on eBay for a good price. It was in a very good condition.

After a lot of cleaning - removing all the old decals- we could go on and adapt the camper to the needs of our Frankie dolls.

We repainted it, gave it lights and a more modern design.









After more than a year (because of many other projects in the meantime) the camper is now finally finished. Frankie one and six could pick it up.














And the inside ...



























The Frankies drive home happily.

In August I have two EAH dolls which belong together - Ashlynn and Hunter. They decided to have a picnic today. The weather was not so sunny, but at least it wasn't very hot. So they could enjoy the food and drink without sweating too much.
