I've been trying to buy fewer dolls this year, mostly because i've got absolutely no space left at all.
So my rule for this year was to sell more than I purchased, which is fine and dandy but the other thing I have been trying to do is stick to mostly buying secondhand dolls too.
And ultimately I do find I get more enjoyment from dolls that need some tlc than I do from a perfect new doll.
So today i'm going to share some of my recent (and not so recent) projects! Because why not?
Old dead stock fascinates me, where'd it come from? How did it end up here? What even IS it in the first place?
And for the past year or so i've been seeing these Holly Hobbie fashion packs on Ebay and Vinted etc selling for very very little.
So I got curious, because I mean, I wasn't even aware Holly Hobbie HAD been rebooted at some point.
But let's start from the beginning shall we?
I've been trying to buy fewer dolls this year but of course, that's always easier said than done when you're a doll collector.
Still, I think i've been doing fairly well in that I haven't been buying much brand new at least.
But bundles of tlc dolls are my weakness, and the joy I get from bringing wrecked dolls back to some degree of respectability is worth the money.
So today i'm going to tell you about the last few bundles i've bought, what I kept, what I rehomed and all that jazz.
So I was trying to be good for January, I was all "i'm going to try not to buy dolls this month and i'm going to try to sell more than I buy for the year ahead"
well the selling is going pretty decently...
but the "don't buy any dolls" thing kinda flew out the window....
To be fair, I DID manage 20 days of no doll purchases which for me is quite a drought (I have a problem, I know this)
But what made me break that streak?
well let me show you.
