My husband jokes that I simply can’t leave the store without buying some dolls. Today, I was completely charmed by two little cuties with very sweet faces, and a soft little couch as a bonus. I really love little ones with such an open eye slit, like Mattel’s Kelly. I named the blonde Marina, and the redhead Arinka.

I crocheted a skirt, a scarf-shawl, and a beret for Vik. I also sewed a silk blouse.

Unexpectedly found Fashion Fewer Teresa in such a flask-shaped box with a stand. The dolls in this series have extraordinarily beautiful faces, but finding them in Lviv is extremely rare. And here she is – it’s fate! I named her Vic, after one of my favorite French movie heroines. I had to slightly change her hairstyle because I really didn’t like those fringe-sideburns. But she herself is simply wonderful, although she doesn’t look at all like my two Teresas. And Anyuta convinced me to buy Dyanochka, but mostly because of the pink stroller it came with, because the girl herself, unfortunately, is no good.

Inspired by descriptions from the internet, I crocheted a top and blouse for momo dolls.

We went to the mall for pants for my daughter and accidentally found 5 girls for 15 hryvnias. They have sweet faces, they asked to come with us as extras for kindergarten – we had to take them. Here they are – Aurora, Alla, Valeria, Vasilisa, and Beata.

Anechka and I went to “Toy House” and met Ken Fashion Fewer and Evi Ultrahair there. Ken was nice, even though he’s a blond, and he has a cool outfit. He said his name is William and really wanted to come with us. I couldn’t refuse him, knowing our lack of men. And the girl Evi – she’s the first in my collection with the new mold – she seems much cuter with it. Plus, she has hair down to her feet and came with a bunch of hair clips. The girl called herself Zlata and also went home with us.

I’m continuing to explore the nearby shops and market. I found Chinese dolls “Marion, My style”, a Bratz knock-off, and a Barbara doll – I’d say it’s a Winx doll in miniature. They’re girls in a teen format – and I really like them, and Anya does too. Plus, I’ll publish a cat with a kitten and a puppy from Kinder Surprise eggs.

Today at our little market stall in the toy shop, I found some very unusual male doll specimens. The quality is terribly Chinese, but after a few transplants, they look like this. Meet Karen, Robert, Dean, and Arnold.

Hooray! She’s finally here! I ordered a J-doll Gran Via Jun Planning even earlier than Isha, but it arrived last of all. We have already written to the seller, but it turned out that it was held up at our customs. Who wouldn’t like such a new doll in a box?

She’s very lively, and her eyes are just to fall in love with… Although, for now, all her joints creak, but I think they’ll loosen up. Her outfit isn’t the best quality, but it’s not a problem for me – we’ll just change her clothes. Since she looks like my little sister, she said her name is Lyubochka too.

When I first learned about Barbie, I heard about a competitor to the doll – Cindy – but there was little information about her at the time.
However, recently I decided to look for this doll – she enchanted me with her tenderness and delicate childlike quality. So, of course, I ordered her on eBay. She didn’t come brand new, without a box, but in decent condition, and she was shoved into the mailbox too. I immediately crocheted her a jacket so she wouldn’t get cold in her light sundress in our dampness. I named her Amy.
