Dolly diary 10/20/23
– I’m deep in the dolly purge. I have a decent sized pile of ones I think I can let go of, but I’m going to wait a bit before selling them, to guard against regret.
– Took Cher to the semi-derelict mall today and am so pleased with the photos. Blog forthcoming.
– Still need to do my “spooky movie” photo for spooky…Read More -

Read More Okay, I'm doing it! I'm downsizing. Reasons: - Be more creative with a smaller collection - Feel more bonded to each doll I have - Recoup some money - Let dolls I'm less enthusiastic about go to homes where they'll be loved - Less...

A noble goal ❤️ I have a lot of dolls too. I know what you mean about not having time to bond with them all

Yeah, I’ve been thinking a lot about when I was a kid, and how special and wonderful having just my two AG was. While I don’t intend to get down just two (I use my dolls as a creative outlet in addition to as a play thing), I want to get back to that point where I felt that each is special and meaningful.

This was so fun to read. I wish you lots of luck! Also I’ve followed you on ebay to snag Miss Kitty Cheshire when she goes up 🙂

Thank you! It’ll probably take a while for me to get the dolls posted to ebay, but they’ll be there eventually!

I completely forgot about the girls of many lands!! Isabel was one of my favorite. Maybe we can add them to the database

My rules for collecting are to only buy what I have room to display (and not stick in storage or boxes) and to only use money from selling other crap (or dolls) I have accumulated. If it starts to feel too overwhelming and/or like hoarding, it is time to destash!

That’s a good policy!

It’s time for me to let go too. I have just too many dolls. I used to buy the “ well loved” ones, restore them, and then re-sell them. Somehow, I became too attached and now I have more inventory than needed. And I have hundreds of pieces of restoration items: clothes, shoes, wigs, socks, underwear, hair accessories, props, etc. I’m gonna have to make the big Detachment real soon.

Yeah, I also have a bunch of “project” dolls that I’m trying to let go of. It’s so hard to let go of the potential!

Good luck to you. I’ve sold off a lot over the years, and when it comes to the few things I do regret, I just remember that they would have been piled in storage boxes and completely unappreciated 95% of the time. I think that if something spends months or years in a storage box, it might as well have spent those months or years in somebody else’s house.
