Greetings,
I am coming out of lurkdom to post due to being tagged by Jewell for World Doll Day. Thanks Jewell! I am a few days late but this was very fun! I had the hardest time choosing my favorite dolls from 2014....well for two of them atleast. One was a holy grail so she was hands down my number one pick. The second one seems to be a favorite amongst collectors. I love, love big hair and it was love at first sight when I saw her promo pics. The third was chosen because I did not purchase her when she she first came out, but was given the opportunity to purchase her on the secondary market from a club member for the same price that she paid Mattel. So needless to say I was a very happy camper. Without further ado...
Best Doll purchases in 2014:
Number 1
I purchased her at the 2014 Integrity Convention nude. I was super excited to finally get her. She has been a grail for a VERY long time and finally (sigh) she is mine. A little short story about her is that as I was waiting to pay for her, I laid her on the table to make my Paypal transaction. Another collector (a guy) picked her up and I immediately said "excuse me, she is mine and I am in the mist of paying for her". He rolled his eyes and make a under the breathe comment and walked away. Lol! Okay, so what else was I suppose to say? Lol! She was a grail, so hands off Bro!
Number 2
I actually purchased a couple of these dolls, but this one that I chose to debox was purchased at Walmart in Orlando, Florida while I was attending the Integrity Convention in 2014. I actually took her out the box while I was there. I couldn't resist.
Number 3 - Last, but certainly not least!
I wanted this doll when she first came out, but I was not a Barbie Collectors club member that year. I was hoping that she would eventually be available for purchase by non club members. I am not sure if she ever was. Just imagine how I felt when a club member mentioned that she had one for sale and that I could purchase her for the cost that she paid. I was super excited! She is such a pretty doll that I will debox one day. Sorry for the glare.
Dolls on my Wish List:
I would love to have either one of these dolls in any order. Interestingly, I had the opportunity to purchase all of them and for some reason, I decided to wait. It was obviously a bad mistake because now they are on my Wish List.

And just a sneak peek at my doll room. It is slowly coming together. I still have shelves to fill.
Thanks for stopping by.
Be blessed!!

Hey Georgia Girl, your dolls are so gorgeous, Soul Deep Adele is beautiful, wow! I hope you get the dolls on your wish list, especially Halle, she is a stunning doll. Your doll room looks great so far! PS it's been a while, but I missed your posts! Linda (Night Owl ;-) )
ReplyDeleteHi Linda!! It is great to hear from you. I have joined your new blog. 😊. Thanks for your nice comments. Soul Deep had been a grail for a long time and I continue to be happy about getting her. I have my fingers and toes crossed that I will be able to fill my wish list one day.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! LOL @ eye roll guy! And yay for getting Francie without a markup! I saw a pic of one of the birthstone beauties someone had rerooted with pink hair. She looked similar to your wish list doll and she was fabulous. Loving the doll room progress- organized rooms of any kind make me very happy. Are those glass cabinets from IKEA?
ReplyDeleteHi Jewell, yes the cases are from Ikea. I wish that I purchased more. They still have them, but the base (top) is beige. I love dolls with pink hair. I plan to get the mermaid that is currently in the stores with the pink hair. I need to get her before she is gone...like the dolls on my wish list. Lol! I do a little every chance I get in the doll room. ;-)
DeleteOh, I'd like Soul Deep Adele, one day ;-) Oh and the Halle Barbie, too.
ReplyDeleteThe Look 2013 and the Fuchsia Francie are also gorgeous dolls. Congratulations on getting them, I wish you luck getting your Grail dolls.
Oh and should you decide to show more doll room photos, I'd love to see them. Keep up the good and inspiring work!
Hi D7ana. Thanks! You inspired me to go back to working on my doll room. I only get to go in there every now and then. Maybe I will go in there this weekend since I don't have much going on. I will share more pics soon of the doll room. :-)
DeleteI totally forgot what I was going to say because when I saw your doll room all intelligent thought went out my head. THAT'S MY DREAM ROOM! *swoons*
ReplyDeleteHi Muff, Lol @ "all intelligent thoughts went out my head". Thanks for your compliment!! I wish I had more time to go in there and play.
DeleteOk, I will tackle my tag this weekend. I love your choices. Girl I'm with you she was your doll. Dude had to kick rocks on that one, lol :O)
ReplyDeleteHi Dollz4Moi. Looking forward to your tag. There was no way that guy was getting my holy grail! Lol!
ReplyDeleteWow, that Adele is fabulous! I am excited for the tag...thank you. I will be a little late posting mine but it'll be fun. :-)
ReplyDeleteIsn't she fabulous?!
DeleteI look forward to your tag whenever you do so. I know it will be well worth the wait. You have a beautiful collection!!
I am cracking up about the man who tried to take 'Soul Deep' from you. He may have mumbled under his breath, but he knew to do it walking away.
ReplyDeleteLol!! I was serious about THAT doll! Lol! This was the closes I had come to getting her. Well, I did have a close connection one other time, but the deal fell through. The person told me she had to find her hands and never emailed me back after I contacted her twice.
DeleteWow Adele is really stunning! If I ever came into some money, I would for sure fulfill my integrity doll dreams. I have so many on my wishlist!
ReplyDeleteThey have so many beautiful ones. They are taking alot of my money. I hope to retire in the next couple of years, so I am doing all that I can right now. It will be another story when that happens. I will be on little to no doll shopping.
