HI THERE!
Thank you for dropping by.
I’m a 50 year old single lady (from the Philippines) who passes time by taking pictures of my doll collections. Most of these dolls came from thrift stores, toy warehouse sales, and some are given as gifts.
This Blog is about my crazy journey to doll collecting. I started to rekindle this hobby 4 years ago when I accidentally found a Blythe Doll in one of my thrift store hopping. So far I’ve adopted almost 50 different types of dolls from hard to find, to collector items, up to cheap plastic ones. I do not have a display cabinet at home so I thought about posting them here. Check them out!

hi! I just wanna say your’e the first person I saw doll-blogging here in our country. I learned a lot from you and got some inspirations too. Hopefully I’d make a doll blog soon if I have enough collections or hoardings of dolls lol. I dunno either if I’d get to meet you whenever I do doll hunt… Good luck!

Hi Earl thank you for dropping by, however, I don’t customized dolls, and neither do I make clothes for dolls. I only collect dolls 🙂 I’ll check out your FB, I may have friends there who can help you.

Hi i have a Bruxelles 1900 doll, i was given it by a friend. i wonder do you know if it worth anything.
she has a pink victorian style dress with lace trimming. a cream hat with floers on the right side. pearl earings and pearl buttons. she holds the Bruxelles 1900 banner in her right hand and an umbrella in the left hand.

Hi Hannah thanks for dropping by! Regarding your question, I wish I have an answer, but I’m not familiar with the Bruxelles Doll, although I have posted here one, but mine are just cheap souvenir dolls maybe from the 70s also given to me. Since you said it’s from the 1900s, then it must worth an amount. It will be easier if it has the trademark of the manufacturer.
Try http://collectdolls.about.com or ebay (Germany, UK) or the dollreference.com hope this helps 😉
