I’m not sure if you guys will find this interesting or not, but it is part of who I am, so thought I’d share. Lately I’ve been really into toy collecting again, which is a passion of mine that kind of comes and goes. I mostly collect dolls and stuffed animals, although I do have a fairly large collection of action figures and miniature toys as well.
Yesterday I decided to take some old toys I’m done with to Once Upon a Child (a secondhand children’s shop) in hopes of making a little bit of money from selling them. I was surprised to make over $50 from it all! I was hoping to maybe make $20…so that was quite impressive! I spent a bit of the money at the store on some new Build a Bear and doll clothes, but still left with over $40.
I decided to take the money I had left over and buy something I have always wanted…my own reborn baby doll! I love the attention to detail on these dolls and hope that it looks as good in person as it does in the photos. Here is a photo of the 18″ doll I purchased:
I was happy to find one with blue eyes and brown hair (like me!). I’m really excited to see her in person, but since I had to order her from China, it will be a few weeks probably. I hope once I get her that she will fit into actual baby clothes, I have always wanted a doll that I could dress in real baby clothes.
PS…Let me know if you guys find stuff like this interesting or if it bores you. Collecting toys is a passion of mine, so I may share it occasionally, but I don’t want to bore everyone to death.
Everyone should collect toys. I think it keeps us in touch with childhood dreams and hope. I collect children’s books, especially pop up books.

I also have a collection of children’s books. I agree that it does keep us in touch with that childlike part of ourselves.

Your reborn is so cute. I order my first reborn off ebay. I just wanted an Ashton-Drake reborn baby doll and I got a bad experience. his hair wasn’t done right. his hair was glued on. Other than that he’s cute. his name was Matthew when he was sent so I kept the name Matthew.

I had to search specifically to find one that had rooted hair because I didn’t want a pasted wig. Way too many of them had pasted wigs. This one promised rooted mohair, so it had better be so!
