Dollily - fashion for dolls

I started into the new year with the opening of another shop: *dollily* on etsy :)

My BJD-love grows and grows and I really enjoy to make clothes for them. And after I made enough for Mila, Romi, (Lati yellow) Enie & Ella (Secretdoll person) I thought it´ll be nice to sell the rest...

I also love to take pictures of my dollies - they are so flexible and cute!!

I´m sure more will come :)

Hugs and a happy new year, yours Nicola

Petra Wohnhaus, 70er Jahre - The Petra house from the 70s

Recently I found this kind of dollshouse on a fleamarket and because of the nice price it took it with me and wanted to put it into my Dawanda-Shop...

Petra was the german equivalent of the well known Barbie doll. You can deflate the inflatable furnitures and can fold the house up to put all the things together in the flat cardbox. These kind of inflatable play things were very populare in my 70s childhood. Plastic-fantastic and dazzling colours that´s what I grew up with!

But... all the time I looked at it I thought: "It´s to cool to give it away..." Awww - look at these typical 70s details printed at the walls!! I´m sure I´ll make one of these pillows with traffic signs in dollhouse size someday! I´m a kind of hoarder as you surely all know and can´t part from things I like (even if I don´t know why ;D )

And there is one fact you also can´t ignore - it´s way to big for Lundby dolls and I don´t have any Barbie to fit in. (And I´ll never get one!!)

So time past by and the house slept its deep sleep...

until I fell into my BJD-love and ordered the Secretdoll, picture doll, Person 15! She has the perfect size (19 cm) and I guess it will be fun to let her "live" in this house :)

So the moral of this story is: Always keep things which are to cool to give them away ;D

Edit: Unfortunately the Secretdoll Persons are to small... Now I hope that it will be the right size for my incoming Blythe clone & future Blythes ... We will see :)



Have a nice weekend, yours Nicola

Hum, what´s up here??

... nothing ;D Sorry, I haven´t been here for so long! Since the end of spring I felt a bit unsatisfied with my blogger-being. I felt a bit under pressure that I have to show more Lundby houses, furniture, more Caco dolls... aso! And if something pressures me it´s no fun anymore. And I also wasn´t in the mood to make more pictures of things you´ve seen before, too. So, what to do? I looked through my pictures to seek something I could show you and that´s what I found:

It´s me in 2004 at the studio at the Käthe Kruse company, where I worked for as a fashion designer for the dolls, surrounded by all the dolls I dressed up.

One things led to another. I felt I have to do more "hobby things" which encourage what I studied and what satisfies me like nothing else: designing & making clothes, making fashion  for dolls :)! I don´ t know how could I forget?!

And so here we are. It´s me making cute doll´s fashion again and also discovering a new and very interesting hobby, too - Asian ball-jointed dolls - BJDs.

Does it mean you will not see any Lundby anymore :O NO, but you will also see more LaTi dolls & dolls fashion here :)

I hope you don´t mind these changes - but that´s me ;D I´ m an Aries and these persons are spontaneous, enthusiastic and always open for new experiences... So, stay tuned it´s going on here :)

Hugs, yours, Nicola
