Mad Men Roger Sterling has been here for months. Initially, I had another wife in mind for him, but as soon as I set eyes on the Barbie Look red head, I knew they would make the perfect couple. They adopted little Ivy when she was an infant. She is now 6 years old. As soon as I can find this Barbie Look doll on clearance, I'm adding another one. I would love to see her with a cute short haircut.
Earlier this year I bought a lot of little doll odds and ends. I have yet to show them. I need to do so soon else I will misplace them and forget they are even here.
I finally bought the car seat that goes with the Happy Family Volvo. I waited it out and finally got it for a decent price.
Be still my heart! This beautiful little girl, Jasmine, was recently gifted to me from Debbie, from Black Doll Collecting. It was so unexpected, and I was so thrown off guard when I opened the box, that I just broke out in tears. When I started collecting many years ago, I started with baby dolls, so they hold a very special place in my heart. This little girl is just so precious. Look at that face. And her hair is the perfect little girls hairdo. I love her to pieces. Thank you Debbie!!! You know I will take very good care of her.
Debbie is a kind friend!
ReplyDeleteWe had an encounter some minuites ago in her Facebook posting celebrating your birthday today,Vanessa!
I just love your talent as someone able to create nice tales at the same time doing a great photography job.
Love Your New Characters!!Lovely Family!!
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY,Vanessa!!
Hugs And Kisses From Brasil!!
Jorge - Thanks. I'm glad you and Debbie hugged it out. lol! I added to the confusion with my own misunderstanding.
DeleteLOL!!This is something that can happen,friend, in a day as the birthday...so many messages,so many people sending their wishes...but it was a fun LOL!!
DeleteThey do make a good couple (Roger and the Redhead). They look very sophisticated. So sweet they adopted little Ivy. I know they are the lucky ones!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know it was your birthday today. Mine is Sunday. We both have July birthdays, but I know I am much older than you. Happy Birthday to you! Tomorrow is Hannah's happy adoption day, and we are going to Frankenmuth, MI. One of the places we will go is a place called Bronner's and they have the most wonderful Christmas ornaments. Last time I picked up some Barbie size musical instrument ornaments. Hope to find some other things to use for my dolls this time. Have a great day!
Phyllis - Happy early birthday! We are probably not as far apart in age as you think. I would have loved to to a birthday story with the core ladies, but I couldn't pull it off. I hope you and the family had a wonderful outing today. Christmas ornaments are the best when it comes to perfectly sized accessories. I hope you found some for your collection.
DeleteI really like hat particular Barbie Look. She has a very...wealthy look about her. ;-). They make a nice couple and their daughter is cute as a button.
ReplyDeleteTracy - The Sterlings are totally blessed with wealth. They have their fair share of other problems, but money isn't one of them.
DeleteHappy Birthday, Vanessa! What a sweet gift from a sweet friend. Nice doll family and car seat, too. I didn't know that Happy Family had a Volvo.
ReplyDeleteRoxanne - Thanks! You can see the HF Volvo in a previous post. http://vansdolltreasures.blogspot.com/2013/06/leslie-heads-to-work-photostory.html
DeleteIt comes with two car seats. A toddler seat and an infant seat. I found my car at the thrift store years ago for a couple of bucks. It had everything except the infant car seat. Now my car is complete.
Happy birthday, Vanessa!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your gift. DBG was kind to send it to you
The Sterlings look like an interesting couple. I look forward to learning more about them ;-)
D7ana - Thanks. Again, Happy Belated BDay to you, too! Cancers rule. I'm looking forward to bringing some life to this new family.
DeleteHello from Spain: Debbie is very lovely. The baby doll is adorable. I also collect them like real babies. They are my favorites. I read that it's your birthday. Congratulations. You are a wonderful person. Keep in touch
ReplyDeleteMarta - Thanks! I didn't know you collect baby dolls. They are so precious.
DeleteBelated Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteYou got a really nice gift, the doll is adorable! And it's said by a person who usually can't stand baby dolls, haha
jewel snake - Thanks for the birthday wishes. Baby Jasmine smiled a little when I told her that even you, found her adorable.
DeleteHappy birthday again my dear! That baby doll is adorable! I think the redhead and Roger Sterling make a perfect couple. They both have that sophisticated, wealthy look about them. Great family! :-)
ReplyDeleteCindi - Thanks. The Sterlings look forward to playing their role as the wealthy couple. They are the first family to have a maid and possibly a cook.
DeleteI only watched the first season of Mad Men, but she could be the Joan to his Roger.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the baby and a Happy Birthday!
Muff - Thanks for my birthday wishes. I've never even seen one episode of Mad Men. Maybe one day. I'm kicking myself to not getting the other Mad Men figure. I kept thinking about it, and before I knew it, he was sold out. The clearance prices were great. The suits are amazing and worth what I paid for the dolls.
DeleteHappy Belated Birthday!
ReplyDeleteLike Jewel Snake I am not fond of baby dolls but this one makes a wonderful present. Hope you received many other special presents!
limbe dolls - Thanks for the birthday wishes. I remember your dislike for baby dolls, from the doll show we attended a few years ago. My best birthday surprise gift, was my son Tyler and his dad arriving on my doorstep with a perfectly cooked seafood feast and a birthday cake that said, Happy Birthday, Mommy V! It was priceless.
DeleteHappy Belated Birthday!! I will have to let everyone know in Dotsville so stay tuned. I'm glad Roger has someone, he just to handsome to be alone in Morristown, especially with all them ladies running around there. You already know I like Jasmine and she looks so cute sitting there. We need to set up a play date with Scarlet. I know she would have fun. Debbie is the best!!
ReplyDeleteBrini - Thanks! We knew Roger wasn't going to be alone for long. I'm glad he waited for this lady, though.
DeleteWhen I need a babysitter for Jasmine, I know who to call....Auntie Brini!
Bravo !
ReplyDeleteYou have Mad Men Roger. Me I have Betty Drapper ! I am happy to see one new blogpost from you. See you soon !
Shasarignis - I love all 4 of the dolls from Mad Men. I see you have a new video up. I'm looking forward to watching it real soon.
DeleteThat IS an adorable baby doll!
ReplyDeleteKenya - She is as heavy as a real baby, but she makes me smile.
DeleteHello from France !
ReplyDeleteWhat a little cuty girl Jasmine. I can imagine your surprise when you opened the box. Il's a very nice gift.
Noemie - HELLO! How are you? It's been a long time. Hope you are okay.
