Born to be Wild!

And now that we have a licensed motorcycle driver

in the cottage, guess who wanted a ride? "Born to

be Wild Carys" of course! She had a short ride but

that was all. Carys looked great in her green leather!

Sweet Eyes.

I almost caved one late night and bought

this amazing Blythe doll because of her

beautiful rosy eyes! But thankfully, I was

not able to find my Mastercard (it was in

a pocket, not in my wallet!) so the buy

did not happen. Her eyes are so sweet!

Collecting Clothing.

Carys has been a very lucky Blythe doll

lately with new clothes arriving in the

mail box. We decided to turn my "tea

cupboard" into a tiny closet for clothing!

Blythe in the Rain.

Sweet Carys in the April rain. Hoping

that our garden will soon be green. She

is looking a bit chilly sitting in the mist.

Soon the warm air will be here each day!

Growing a Blythe Doll Wardrobe.

Carys has very few clothes, so it was

time to fill up her little wardrobe ....

I love this seller sent along a few tiny

Care Bear stickers. And sweet clothes!

A lacy dress in pretty white. The detail

is amazing and so tiny with precision.

Love this frilly shirt with the corduroy

and very soft overalls. Oh the buttons!

The pink coat that came with the white

dress. I can't wait to try this one on her.

She appears to love the choices we

made for her new look. So sweet!

Look how precious this is. I need to

now find a pretty pair of dressy shoes.

And the overalls are too cute with the

lacy shirt. Not sure what shoes would

go with this as the overalls are short.

Her tiny feet are sweet so maybe I'll

leave them bare when she wears this

or see if I can find a pair of sandals.

More to come as tiny little packages

arrive at our front door. with new items.

Have an amazing and sunny Sunday!

Frilly Dress.

Sweet Carys received another package

in the mail not long after she arrived.

From a lovely seller from overseas. It

was fun to open up the lovely wrapping.

And inside was this very frilly dress with

an embroidered flower on the front. Short

sleeves and a layered, flouncy, ruffled skirt.

Carys looks amazing in this beautiful dress!

Her Name Is ....

.... Carys-Rhiannon. Still working on a

middles name, that if we follow the way

we've named all our kids, it would start

with a K. Carys is Welsh name and means

"to love" and "precious." I also love that

her creator named her "Mary" and I did

want to find a way to somehow use part

of her original name or have some way to

connect the two. This was a perfect choice

and we love how unique it is. The second

part of her first name, again like all our

kids, is hyphenated. Rhiannon is another

Welsh name and most often linked to the

album "Rumors" by Fleetwood Mac. Lots

of connections to this one for us. It took a

while for us to choose her name ~ made

me remember when we tried to name our

fourth baby and we had a name but the

kids overruled us with the name they in

mind for her. Took quite a while but in

the end, they won! This was almost as

painful. But in the end, we love it and

she truly suits this sweet name. Now we

just need to find a K middle name ....

Almost a Name ....

She patiently waits every day for the

reveal of her new name in our cottage.

I set up the board but then we had a

hard time choosing her name ....

What would you name such a sweet being?

~ Chy

Settling In.

The last post, I promise of little Miss

Blythe. She has settled in just fine and

trying out a few spots to sit and watch

the action happening all around her.

My 1st Unboxing.

I've posted a video of the unboxing of my Blythe doll

but wanted to share her here as well. If you'd like to

follow the adventure, the link to the new IG account

called "Blythe Cottage" is here. She is so sweet and

now that I've got her unboxed, the next task is to name

her. She was given the name "Mary" by her creator

but we'll likely choose a "C" name to follow our little

pattern with names in our family. OR a "B" name ....
