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.

Love in a Heartbeat

It seems the elves are managing to creep into my heart when I least expect it.

This little sweetie managed to hop in my cart today, when I stopped by DDE for a brief visit. In stock with default face-up and in TAN, well what's a girl to do . . . I mean how can you resist a little sweetie who puckers her lips up like this and blows you a kiss?

I know the one in the photo is dressed as a boy, but I thought that face could easily suit a girl, especially with the right costuming.

The timing is perfect for me, as I have a wonderful story in mind for these tiny elves. Yes, I did say ELVES, my regular readers will probably be well aware by now, I do everything in threes! Soso and Ara have been ordered directly from Fairyland and are expected to arrive in about ten to twelve weeks.

First On . . . Last Off

I'm sure you are all familiar with the saying "first on, last off" . . . well it proved to be true yesterday, as my girls were on the truck at 7 am and didn't get delivered until 5.45 pm. After unpacking them I was really happy to see their beautiful default face ups, but disappointed with the fit of the face plates. Luckily I had silicone caps on hand!! Now let me introduce the new girls:

Macaron (Dony)

Biscotti (Cony)

Cookie (Bonnie)

The Biscuit Barrel Elves

Now I will have to move my butt and get busy making their home, so they have somewhere to live. :)

2nd August Doll Meet Photos

Well my Puki Fees flight SQ609 touched down at 5.05 pm on Thursday 31st July, arrived at Melbourne Facility at 9.33am Friday 1st August, but to my disgust, they are still residing at the Australian Post Facility. So it was off to the meet yesterday without them!

We know we are one eyed about things ... but Oni this is taking it too far!

Hey monster, monster, take me for a ride, pretty please!

What a bunch of tiny posers. :)

It's always lovely to meet other doll collectors and see what a wide range of dolls we all accumulate, from all the cute tinies to the very tall and handsome.
