Raine Plays With Dolls

I purchased from the most lovely seller on DoA this beautiful custom Silje’s Boutique dress. It was just perfect for Lumeriel - the silver and blue is just luminous on her! It reminds me how much I need to get to blushing her hands, but.

I think these are the last winter pictures everyone is going to see from me, haha! I’m tired of coming back in with 100% soaked through pants!

Of course, one of the ways I keep from just buying every cute doll in existence is by making sure I have a character for any doll I own. It makes them more personal to me, gives me a chance to express myself through them easier and prevents me from that wallet straining lust for new dolls.

BUT I’VE ALWAYS REALLY WANTED A DOLLFIE.

So now I get to think over character concepts while shuffling out my resume to anybody and everybody who’ll take it, because once I get a job, there’s now two things on my “first paycheck splurge” list. 1: A PS4 with The Last of Us (Remastered) and Final Fantasy IX. (I bloody crave a PS4 before they release FFVII Remastered! That game was my childhood and I gotta see high-def Cloud in drag!)

2: A Dollfie Dream III body with an 07 head to play the above games with me. (Psst. And Maiya who has ABSOLUTELY ROCKED every face-up I’ve requested of her, does the sweetest DD faces too...)

Lumeriel plays well in the snow.

So. Second trip to Goodwill from the new place. First, the last picture: a rocking chair! Sweet! Fits Oak/MSDs perfectly, nicely made, what a lovely piece. Then I find my SO wandering around. “Still looking for doll stuff?” He asks. “Always. I found a cool chair I want your opinion on - what’d you find?” Silently, he leads me to the back of the store where this mysterious wooden box sits. I open it....HOLY CARP. There’s no maker’s mark but as seen it fits MSDs/Minifees PERFECTLY. It’s solid wood, needs a little cleaning but NO scuff marks or real signs of play. I’m GUESSING, just because of the quality, it’s from the 70s~? Maybe earlier? It reminds me of a dollhouse my grandmother had from my mother’s childhood. Definitely not American Girl stuff, too small.

This is ABSOLUTELY going to be Oak’s ‘home’ room. Her “tidy” tucked away apartment, wherever that happens to be at the time. Make some nice quilting for the fold-out bed, get some cute tattered wallpaper behind the clothes rack. Bottles of potions and herbal ingredients...forest wanderer girl’s room.
