One wall filled and a lot left to move and clean. Also, 4 desks in one room, maybe it’s a desk room instead of a doll room lol Follow me for more on IG: darlingsdollhouse
I think prices on the shoes may go up. The new RH collectors don't have any. And there's only a few fashion packs out there, which can barely be found. And the new dolls don't come with 2nd outfits. So, the shoes might be a sought after accessory?
I did store up on shoes when there were clearances and such and I’m glad I did for those exact reasons- especially like for Demi’s boots and Ainsley’s boots and such, like the really desirable shoes- I bought a lot of clearance dolls I didn’t really want just to get those shoes lol
Love your videos, I was saving everything but got way overwhelmed so I decided to trash anything cardboard and donate most of doll accessories ( I don't use them) also donate all of the monster high lockers and all the Barbie playsets and houses even some dolls that I did not love ( it was a hard decision but I'm glad I did) I gained so much space and feel so much better😊 I rather have the space for dolls 😺
It is definitely a hard decision, but the feeling of having a clean space and a clear mind makes it feel like you can finally breathe again for me personally!
Yea, I have not bought any new reboot RH dolls. I don't like them. I do like the new Color & Create.....but still want the wrist articulation back ! I may get one of those. But so far, I'm not continuing with RH.
I think the new brown eyed girl may be a hard skintone to match. I saw @pixeldollz had trouble with the skintone match for her- she’s a close match (but too yellow-toned) for Priscilla. I can’t stand the lack of wrist articulation, but at the same time I really want to dye them. I ordered one of each so far just to inspect them so hopefully they’ll be here soon!
Me again 😂....thanks for showing us your awesome collection. And what a pain in the butt it can be when it gets so big ! I have nowhere near the amount you do, but mine is getting a little cramped. Your video is a reminder to constantly organize ( which I do ), and re-evaluate. Are there dolls you don't connect with & could get rid of ? Or doll accessories you can part with ? Keep the hobby of collecting enjoyable & not overwhelming & out of control.
I like to remind myself that there is a fine line between thoughtful collecting and hoarding just because you can. I want to avoid becoming a hoarder just to get clout/show off because I always feel like that’s really gross and I can’t connect with people who live like that for social media approval. I try to maintain a thoughtfulness to my collecting so I sell stuff off a lot when I get overwhelmed. I regret it occasionally, but not enough to try and get back anything. I always remind myself that it’s not that serious. I recently sold off a lot and have more for sale just to keep some sort of balance in my life. Luckily my custom dolls bring happiness to their new owners 🩷
I've saved all my shoe boxes. I have a lot too ! I did use a couple with the ribbon handle in my RH closet as drawers for socks & sunglasses. I haven't decided what I'm doing with the rest either. But they're just too nice to throw away.
The quality on the boxes was really good so they are hard to toss. I gave it a thought right after I made this video- the holographic colored film on the boxes may make them non-recyclable too. :/
I have had Fibromyalgia for the last at least 6 years. Because of my pain, I don't go out much either, like I used to. Same as you, close places aren't as bad. But longer drives hurt. I passed up a lot with Sabrina for good price, it was too far. And I don't have a Sabrina. 🙄 oh well, if I'm meant to have her, I'll find her some other easier way.
I get about 10 trigger point injections in my back every 4 weeks for my fibromyalgia and it does help for the most part- my super bad pain days are down to about 2-3 a month, but it’s expensive and it hurts super bad to get the shots, plus it hurts when they start to wear off and for a day or two after I get them, so if you don’t like needles that’s a thing too, but otherwise if you have a pain management clinic nearby, that may be helpful. I have a hypermobility problem too so I have a bad hip. I think traveling in that much pain is enough to give anyone travel anxiety though, so we can relate on that. I hope you find a good Sabrina soon- definitely stalk Facebook marketplace and yard sales!
Hi, could you make a video about dyeing Barbie hair with revlon hair dye? I'm trying that with my dolls, (using black & red, Though I got a cheap $1 brand that didn't work on the saran hair, just stained the face by leaching from the scalp under the protective layer I'd put on the dolls face to stop that very thing: Tip don't use $1 brands or types.) I'd like to see the process from start to finish, but so far I can't find anything helpful. Could you Please? It be huge for me If you did. Thanks! Ilike your how-to videos on doll hair dyeing.
I’ll see if I have some spare Barbie’s laying around! Barbie (and MH and most Mattel dolls) are seen as undyeable though due to their hair being synthetic fibers. RH, OMG, and a lot of modern MGA dolls have high grade Nylon hair which takes dye well, but they’ve used low grade nylon on some of the new budget dolls and now they won’t take dye well either- not even Rit Dyemore for synthetics. I used Dyemore on a Barbie and even for long term at high heat, it barely made a difference. I’d always heard that human hair dye didn’t work on Barbies but I can see what I have around the house and give it a shot :3
I definitely don't want my dolls in storage. Unless you pull some out for seasons, holidays etc. But I don't see how you can enjoy a doll unless it's out.
