this started as a rant about Instagram's broken hashtag search but they apparently fixed that bug (or rolled back that feature) and now it's working again! but I guess you can have a Pine Island Dolls website update anyway.
one of the things I have always loved to do in this hobby is to have a personal website to show off my dolls.* I've been adding little gallery sections to my doll pages with a handful of my favorite photos. Ichīro is my oldest doll by far (2004; the next oldest doll who's actually complete (Nene) is 19 years younger than him (2023)) so he has the most but I put together Kohaku's gallery today and I'll start going through Nene's photos next time I have time.
*I also love browsing other collectors' doll websites, and I've collected a large-ish list of links for you to peruse. if you have your own non-social media doll site, send me an ask or a DM or something and I'll (admire your site and your dolls and) add your link to the list!!
