My Collections!

Well a few of my collections... yes. there is more... but yeah. These are the things that inspire me! ^^

Not pictured collections:
1) Tenchi Muyo comprised of boxed figurines, mangas, and a few plushies.
2) Sylvanian Families / Calico Critters with house and lots of little guys.
3) Porcelain Dolls which are dolls that my grandmother gave to me!
Those are the only note worthy ones for now... of course I have many random nick-knacks too that aren't really a collection alone but together... hahahah

I will be dwindling down some old things/collections that I have at some point so that new fun things that interest me can take their place ;)

(Disclaimer: Photos taken with my cellphone in not so well lit areas! ^^)

So first up is my BJD Cabinet: Zephan (Soom), Anabelle (Blythe), Hikari (Volks), Jun (Dollzone), and Ellie Carina (Dollzone) are on the top floor along with some mini blythes and tiny chibi Inyuasha figures. Second floor has my Pullips that I got while in Japan and Hermione Granger's wand (lol). Then we have the more misc floor of Monster High, Tenchi and a Raikes Bear.

Next are my Kokeshis from Japan. They sit along the fireplace mantle. I apologize for the lighting... the downstairs is a very dark place... and it was cloudy today so... yeah. I acquired these from many temple fairs so most of them are vintage. The large one in the middle and the one to the left were gifts from my friend Laura. There are also two others that were gifts from my mother-in-law from when she lived in Japan (samurai in third picture and girl wearing red with short black hair in second picture).

I wanted to show some other things that I bought in Japan. One yen store Kokeshi, Antique wooden 7 gods figurine, and lucky baby monkey in the first image. Second image shows one of my Tanuki's (raccoon dog) and some Guardian dogs. In picture two there is a Totoro music figurine and kimekomi material plush cat. And then for giggles the last picture shows my last standing beanie babies and trolls, these are the ones that made it away from the garage sale bin!

 

Last but not least! In picture one we have my other Tanuki, a monk, and some hand-sculpted clay figurines that were found at a pottery festival! I just love the Guardian dogs!!! Also I couldn't pass up the vintage Kokeshi style ladies with cloth and metal details!

 

I hope you enjoyed your peek into the things that inspire me and get to look at everyday!!

Oh no! I forgot two kokeshis... I felt bad so figured I should add them =D

I got something awesome in the mail! YAY!

A couple of days ago I received a package from my bestie in Japan! I waited until today to open it because I wanted to document the occasion.

A bit over 3 months ago we visited the Volks Showroom in Nagoya and I ordered a Full Choice System Mini Super Dollfie and now she is here! It was super cool going through the ordering process and picking all the details for my doll, but since we didn't speak Japanese it was a little bit confusing. When we started the process the very nice woman that was helping us didn't realize we were actually interested in purchasing and thought we were just "looking"... oops!! She probably was extremely annoyed that we were asking to see so much stuff as looky-loos but finally somehow we expressed the want to buy and then it became official and she got just about as excited as we were!

Along with my doll were some surprise goodies! My favorite lip gloss Strawberry TonyMoly Fruit Princess Gloss, my favorite snack squid jerky, a Sylvanian Families baby figurine (too cute!), and something interesting that looks like black goop!!!? hahahahah I'll have to ask her about that one! Thanks Laura!!!!! =D EDIT: Black goop is some beans that my husband bought while at a festival and left behind!

Hello Hikari!!

Isn't she lovely!? ^^

Instagram! Yay!

I finally joined in to the fun! Downloaded the Instagram App on my iPhone and now I am ready to go phone photo crazy just in time for my upcoming 2 week trip to San Diego, California and Portland, Oregon! Finally some vacation!

Hello Corina Ellie!!!

The newest addition to my doll family has finally arrived and she has finally had her first photoshoot! I cant wait to buy her clothes! For this shoot she had to borrow from Jun, but I am sure he didn't mind!
Corina is a Dollzone Kimi 1/4 BJD and is my first girl bjd. I just love her big eyes and tulip nose!

I am back! Was a bit MIA for a moment due to various things... various good things!

I thought this was a happy accident... ^^

New Camera!!!

Well it has been a long time of waiting, but i finally got it... A NEW CAMERA! Ahhhh! So happy and excited that i could scream^^ but i wont because the people around me might look at me funny. Canon Rebel XSi, mmm. I was looking at the T1i and then just decided to go with the XSi because it is the one i had been wanting (plus it was a little less in the cost department which is always a plus! and best buy was sold out of the T1i and had one more XSi left and I am impatient, hahah). So now i just need to get myself knowledgeable in the wonderful world of Digital SLR-age!
