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.

A New Old Ruruko & Two Little Pullips

Ruruko's are not easy to come by here in Australia, so when I saw this gal I snapped her up and she arrived today.

I had absolutely no idea when she was released, but I didn't really care as long a she was in good condition, and she is perfect.

However, I did some research and she could be either one of these two girls below, but seeing she came without her original clothing, I think she's more likely to be the second of the two.

As I rarely keep dolls in original outfits, it's not a problem for me and she will be a perfect sibling for Hatsuko.

Ruruko dolls don't come with different names, but she needs one of her own, so after giving it much thought . . . I think Sachiko will suit her nicely. In Japanese, the word "sachi" means “happiness” or “good luck” and the word "ko" means “child.”

It's been a long time since I gave Pullips a thought, but the same day I saw these two tiny faces peeking at me through the computer screen and thought they'd make a nice little treat to give myself for Christmas.


The Little Pullip Carol & Rudolph (F-811) is a rare, limited-edition Christmas two-pack released by Jun Planning in November 2005. The dolls are tiny at approximately 16 cm (5 to 6 inches) tall and were the first and only two-pack released in the original Little Pullip series. Little Pullip Carol was based on a full-sized Pullip release, while Little Rudolph was an original companion design.

Carol is dressed in a festive red-and-white Santa Claus-style outfit with fur trim, a belt of tiny bells, and matching holiday wear. While Rudolph is dressed in a plush brown reindeer outfit with antlers, a red-and-green striped scarf, and green straight hair. The set also includes a miniature Christmas stocking.

Like other early Little Pullips, they feature real fabric clothing and fixed non-mobile eyes (they cannot blink or look side-to-side) with limited articulation compared to full-sized Pullips.


I ordered the Pullips from Japan on 3rd (the same day as Ruruko) and they arrived yesterday, the 12th, a day quicker than the sweet little Ruruko from Western Australia.
