At Hobby Lobby, besides finding the bunny doll from an earlier post, I was also pleased to find that they had a small section of miniatures and dollhouses. None of the miniatures were playscale, but there were quite a few things that you could use with your Pullip or for building a dollhouse for your Pullip. The little shortcake on the left is one of those items that I found there. They also had mini books, silverware, an adorable set of tiny cookies and many other things that Pullip could use.
I was also really pleased to find that they had some dollhouse construction materials like tiny baseboards, crown molding, windows, tiny faux tile, and other things you could use to make a dollhouse for your Pullip. The doors though would be too small for Pullip, but it should be easy enough to fashion your own doors. However they had all of the tiny hinges and other fixtures you would need to make and attach your own door. Although Hobby Lobby’s selection was small compared to a miniature store I visited once, their prices were quite a bit cheaper!
It’s been a while since I last posted…shoo, summer just got away from me! However I have some dolly news, from the proceeds of my doll clothing sales I was finally able to buy my first Pullip! I had been wanting a Pullip for quite some time, and I am so excited to be able to finally get one. As you can tell by the pick in the post, I decided to go with the school girl Nina. I liked her face-up a lot, and her dark eyes and brown wig are sweet and give her that “classic girl” look. It was actually a close race between Nina and Papin. I liked the amount of separates you got with Papin, but I wasn’t too sure about the pink mohair wig and purple eyes. It might not be too long before I start experimenting on my Nina though, as much as I like her overall look, I have a really nice auburn/red wig lying around here I might like to try, and I also really love those multicolor eyechips you can get at cool-cat.
