Everyone Needs Playtime

In our hectic, modern lives, many of us focus so heavily on work and family commitments that we never seem to have time for pure fun. Somewhere between childhood and adulthood, we stopped playing.

When we carve out some leisure time, we’re more likely to zone out in front of the TV or computer than engage in fun, rejuvenating play like we did as children. But play is not just essential for kids; it can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults as well.

There doesn’t need to be any point to the activity beyond having fun and enjoying yourself. By giving yourself permission to play with the joyful abandon of childhood, you can reap oodles of health benefits throughout life.

Kitty Collier's coming in 2021

Yesterday I felt the need to indulge in a little dolly shopping on eBay. I found a 2000 version of the 18" Kitty listed by a dealer (not a doll collector), so I made a ridiculous offer (mainly to compensate for the shipping costs) and much to my surprise, it was accepted. She has the KC head and body, with the most beautifully styled rooted blonde hair, pretty blue inset eyes and a stunning gown.

As you may already be aware I have two Tiny Kitty Colliers, one redhead (2004 Basic), one blonde (Evening Gala) and a beautiful brunette Tonner Sindy (Bridal Bliss) who all arrived mid 2020. So it should come as no surprise that I would also purchase this 18" version, especially being a bride. Although I would have preferred a red haired gal, it's a pleasant change.

  

"In a make-believe time and place, Kitty opens up her dress shop, which boasts the most beautiful clothing and accessories. Always the height of elegance, Kitty wears her highly detailed ensembles with great feminine flair. In 2000, Kitty Collier™ made her debut, marching onto the fashion doll scene as an unprecedented 18” full vinyl fashion doll with a vintage touch, bringing a breath of fresh air to collectors everywhere. All Kitty Collier™ dolls have rooted hair and high quality inset eyes. Since 2003, Kitty Collier™ has had bent knees, swivel waist and rotational hip joints making her ever so poseable."

As you can see from the photos, she looks like she's in excellent condition, so I am feeling pretty pleased with myself and my purchase. I probably should not have purchased any more dolls until I made more room, but who can resist a pretty doll at Christmas?
