Today is my first day to "blog". Don't I feel important!! Actually, I am very excited. I hope to meet lots of people to chat with-- either about dolls or just life in general.
I will be adding links to doll information so we can all learn and share. If you have info to share, e-mail be at gloria@mydollcastle.com. This would be info in general, not specifically trying to sell something.
I had the opportunity to drive a doll collector home last night and see her dolls and how she displays them. She has Linda Rick's Key To My Heart dolls, Precious Moments, Native American doll, Ashton- Drake, and many more. They are displayed beautifully, on shelves, in cribs, sitting at a desk, and more. She really enjoys her dolls. I hope all you collectors out there are displaying your dolls, and not keeping them in boxes. Here at My Doll Castle, we so enjoy rearranging the dolls, putting them in different settings. I do the same at my house. It's fun!
ReplyDeleteIt's sunny and warm in Claremore, OK today. My Doll Castle's display window looks cherry and bright- decorated for St. Patrick's day. Whether you are Irish or not, it's a great setting for dolls. There are numerous dolls in green costumes in the window. There are dolls from Virginia Turner, Charisma, Adora, Linda Rick, Karito Kids, and more.

ReplyDeleteGetting to My Doll Castle on a Saturday morning takes a very long time. Why? Because all the old ranchers and cowboys are driving to town -- very slowly in their beat-up old and new disel trucks. And of course they are using both lanes!
ReplyDeleteIncredible how many doll artists there are out there-- My Doll Castle has dolls from many artist that live all over the world. Barry Cathers, Hildegard Gunzel, Angela Sutter, just to name a few.
ReplyDeleteLove the Precious Moments dolls we received yesterday at My Doll Castle! My Precious Pony and Butterfly Kisses are my favs!
ReplyDeleteMet the sweetest lady the other day here at My Doll Castle. She is married for 68 years, but sadly, her husband had a severe stroke last year and is in the Veteren's Hospital here in Claremore. She had the best attitude!! All about being blessed with a great life and her sweet husband and sons! So refreshing to see an old person not complaining-- but being grateful!
ReplyDeleteThe Lennon Sisters are an American Institution. America fell in love with them as the girls next door. For 13 years on The Lawrence Welk Show, the Lennon sisters charmed the nation with their sweet-voiced harmonies. In the 1970’s, the sisters preformed regularly on The Andy Williams Show and toured with Williams across the country. From 1994 to 2004, the quartet performed at the Welk Champagne Theater in Branson, Missouri. Peggy and Dianne have retired. Kathy and Janet, along with their younger sister, Mimi, still perform in Branson. Called “American’s Sweet hearts of song”, America still adores them today.
ReplyDeleteThe Lennon's love for one another inspired the country. Ever since they were little children, even before America embraced them, Kathy and Janet were inseparable. Caring for one another, sharing everything, they were best pals in every sense. Recognizing their special and unique bond, their mother, Sis Lennon, and grandmother, Nana, hand made a pair of soft cloth rag dolls that resembled the loving sisters - a brunette doll for Kathy and a blond doll for Janet. To Kathy and Janet, ages 6 and 3 respectively, these dolls were best pals - just like they were.
Now, Kathy and Janet Lennon have painstakingly replicated the original dolls hand sewn by Sis Lennon and Nana. While it was a real challenge to create an exact duplicate of the dolls and capture their traditional embroidered faces, yarn hair and dresses (right down to the white pantaloons, shoes and long knit stockings), it was a matter of simplicity naming them, Best Pals!
Best Pals has branched out with more cloth dolls, CDs of children songs, Lennon Sisters Cut-out dolls, and more.
My Doll Castle is located in historic downtown Claremore. Opened for just two years, the store has hosted numerous doll artist signings. On Saturday, June 5th, Kathy and Janet Lennon will be at My Doll Castle from 1pm to 4pm. Owner, Gloria Pierce, is very excited. “These are two wonderful famous, yet approachable, ladies. We couldn’t be more grateful they consented to come and show their Best Pals line right here in Claremore.
"Love Takes Wing" is sculpted in Sandra Bilotto's signature style, with a fresh and timeless look to her beautiful features. Her expressive face is captured in hand-painted porcelain. Her shining dark hair is embellished with a gleaming, beaded and feathered headdress, which draws attention to her radiant beauty as she releases the butterfly and looks upward toward the heavens.
ReplyDeleteThe "Love Takes Wing" bride is beautifully costumed in soft, cream-coloured faux suede that drapes beautifully over her slender body, accented with deep fringe, and snow-white real feathers. On the bodice, a glittering, beaded butterfly spreads its wings.. and you will find tiny, golden filigree butterflies on this bride's removable train, and also on her sandals.
Overall, there are more than 1,500 hand-sewn glass beads adding sparkling richness and elegance to this bride's costuming and jewellery! Doll measures 22" tall.

ReplyDeleteYesterday, two ladies returned to My Doll Castle. They'd been in several times and had bought dolls for grand-daughters. This time one of the ladies finally broke down and got a dol for herself. She'd talked about it and really wanted one. She got "Spice", a Key To My Heart Linda Rick doll. I think she will be happy with her. She's a very pretty doll, with long brown curls.

ReplyDeleteCan't believe Easter is just a couple of weeks away! Came to the store at 7:30 this morning to re-do the display window. It is now an Easter window! All the dolls look lovely among the eggs and bunnies.
Spring break here in Claremore, OK so a lot of mothers and daughters have been coming to My Doll Castle to buy dolls. Karito Kids and Precouis Moments and Ashton Drake truly real babies are the ones the little girls go to when they come in.
ReplyDeleteA long week at My Doll Castle. Managed to get through it! Best part? Seeing my little friend McKenzi. She is the best, wholesome kid you can find! She collects dolls-- mostly Ashton-Drake, but also has a Bonnie Chyle and Middleton dolls. She loves coming to My Doll Castle. She gets her mother, father or grandmother to bring her. When she gets older, maybe she'll work here!

ReplyDeleteSpring has sprung!
ok, great beautiful day so will be busy selling dolls. Glad I got up early and made my son breakfast-- he was quite grateful -- and happy.
ReplyDeleteI like to play a game of which kind of dolls I'll sell today. Maybe play dolls, like Karito -- or the Adora toddlers. Or maybe another Virginia Turner doll-- or a realistic Gunzel doll. Time will tell.
ReplyDeleteI got an e-mail from DHL saying they couldn't deliver a package due to wrong address. And then it said to print attachment label and go to DHL store. I thought this was wierd. Well, I found a phone # for DHL and on their answering machine it said "if you got an e-mail...... do not open the attachment--- it contains a virus"
ReplyDeleteWhy do people do that? Anyway, I had a feeling it was bogus cuz how would they know my e-mail address?
Terrible, stupid people in this world.
I have decided I am a 'jack of all trades, master of none". I can do many things-- but nothing to the fullest. Example: I do bookkeeping-- but can't do taxes. I cook and bake - a lot-- but can't say I'm a 'chef"-- as in make up recipes and cook in a resturant. I can sell dolls-- but do I know all there is about dolls -- not even close-- I know nothing about antique dolls, only the latest out. And there are so many artists, I can't say I know of them all.
ReplyDeleteI can ride a horse-- have put many miles on a horse-- but can I jump, play polo, etc? No-- again, no master. I can water ski-- but still use 2 skiis-- so far from master of that. I can read and have read many, many books-- but do I read fast as in speed-read? No, not even close. I use a computer every day and the internet. But if something gets screwed up, I can't fix it. And may times, it takes me ages to get to where I want to on the internet. I could go on an on... but surfice it to say..... I am not a pro at anything...
Charlie Bears are so adorable! They really have personalities! Getting in a bunch of new ones soon and can't wait!

Ever feel like going back to Pooh Corner? Visit the 100 acre wood---- to the simple times.... times when the most difficult decision of the day was which path to take in the wood....
ReplyDeleteI have a new pair of shoes on. I love shoes! And a new pair can make your day! These new shoes are orange-- no, actually, they are tangerine. I love the shoes on the dolls. One I have "Daisy" by Virginia Turner who has white shoes with little daisies. They are so cute!
ReplyDeleteI am so angry I could scream! How does an educated woman have no common sense? Doesn't treat her 4 year old the way a 4 year old deserves to be treated! How do you not hold and cuddle her when she can't fall asleep? How do you threaten her and then lock her in her room????? Please explain how do you spend all your time and energy texting and facebooking instead of with your daughter!!
ReplyDeleteAndrea Arcello is a world renowned doll artist who is recognized for her most astonishingly realistic and expressive silicone dolls. She is now offering the very first consumer friendly version of her best dolls in soft vinyl. “Araya” is hand crafted in high quality materials. Her hair is micro rooted using wispy mohair for the softest baby look instead of a wig. Her fingernails and toenails are expertly hand painted; and she has a soft jointed cloth body for that real baby feel. She is approximately 21” with bent legs.
ReplyDelete“Araya Sun” wears a dazzlingly handmade summer frock with ribbon rosettes and rose insert lace adorning the front. Delicate white lace garnishes the bottom of the attached slip so that it is visible from beneath the dress. Her elegant pantaloons are decorated with insert, eyelet, edging lace, and ribbon which makes her costume irresistibly unique and eye-catching!
She is approx. 21" and sells for 198.99 plus shipping.
Ok... let's talk American Girl vs. Karito Kids. Yes, AG has been around for 25 or more years-- and that's the problem. They haven't changed/upgraded their dolls! yes, they are educational-- but so are the Karito Kids. And the KK are prettier, better quality, and more realistic-looking. My Doll Castle has all the dolls, and the extra outfits you can buy.

My Doll Castle is fun with all the doll artists' dolls, like Virginia Turner, Cheryl Hill, Sheila Michael, Linda Rick-- and more. But just for today, I wish I was outside. So I will ride my bike after I close the store. Fresh air and exercise-- doesn't get better than that!

ReplyDeleteNot much happening at My Doll Castle store today-- but it's early yet. The rain they have been promising us all week finally happened last night and early this morning. But right now the Claremore skies are dry, with the sun peaking out. The purple display window looks great-- maybe we'll win the contest! We won last year. It's the dolls that make it so pretty-- Virginia Turner, JC Toys, Best Pals, Marie Osmond, Charisma Brands, Linda Rick, Diamond Doll Design, Precious Moments-- they are all represented in the window! Too pretty!

Someone from my high school days got in touch with me. (isn't internet incredible?). Well, that made me start thinking about other people from the past that I knew. So far I've reached two more.

And have they been to www.mydollcastle.com

ReplyDeleteI was thrilled to learn My Doll Castle won the window display for the Downtown Claremore Lilac Festival (held last Saturday). But in all honesty, the credit goes to the beautiful dolls. Virginia Turner's Rochelle is perfect with her white and purple dress (even purple butterfly decals in her dress. And Turner's Ilena is standing there holding her 'purse' with carasol horses on it and wearing a deep purple dress with a white pinafore. Then there are the Linda Rick frilly dolls in lavender and purple dresses. There's Pita, a Karito Kid doll, in lavender next to a Diamond Design birthstone doll (Amystist for Feburary). Also, a couple of JC Toys baby dolls dressed in purple and of course, a few Precious Moments. So that's who gets the credit for winning the contest-- all the dolls and their srtists!

ok, the morning didn't start out real good. Woke up at 5AM to find the electric was out-- had servere storms in Claremore -- well, northeast Oklahoma last night. Luckily, I had hot water for a shower-- couldn't dry my hair so 'scrunched' it. Then there was the dilemna of getting the electric garage door open without electric! I unlatched it and pulled it up-- to get dirty water and mud thrown on my head! ok, deep breath, then figure out where the pole is to hold up the door --- can't find pole....hmmmm....the door is open 3/4 of the way....maybe back out the car and if it hits "oops, I thought it'd fit...and get a new car!" ok, Gloria, terrible thought, so kept looking for the pole and finally found it. Another 5 minutes just to figure out how to get the pole adjusted to hold the door. Finally, drive out of the garage to My Doll Castle, hoping there was electric there. And there was! Yeah! All dolls are fine and opened the store on time. The day is getting better.
ReplyDeleteOk, still raining here in Claremore-- thunderstorms. But my dolls are great! Excited about Masterdolls coming in next week!
ReplyDeleteHad to fight opening the garage door with a pole again-- we have electric but the door wouldn't work! I am so un-mechanical. So back to raising the door by hand and putting a pole on it to hold it open. Again, water on my face! Ugh..Surely the rain will stop soon.

All About Ginny Dolls:
ReplyDeleteGinny was one of the most popular 8 inch child dolls of all time. Introduced in 1951, Ginny had the height of her popularity during the 1950s, but she is still in production today. She has always had a panoply of clothing and accessories available for her, and her iconic charm created many competitors and copy cats, including Madame Alexander's Wendy doll.
Years of Production of Ginny Dolls:
Ginny was officially introduced in 1951, although she had an unnamed predecessor produced by Vogue Dolls. Ginny has been in almost continuous production ever since.
Company That Produced Ginny Dolls:
Jennie Graves wass the creator of Ginny (named after her daugher Virginia) and the owner of the Vogue Doll Company. Vogue produced Ginny dolls from their inception through 1972. After 1972, Ginny was produced by a succession of companies including Tonka Corporation, Lesney Products Corporation, Meritus Industries and R.Dakin and Company. In 1995, The Vogue Doll Company re-formulated, and they still produce Ginny today.
Material, Size and Characteristics:
Ginny is an 8 inch hard plastic or hard vinyl doll. She has sleep eyes, a wig, and jointing at her neck, shoulders, and hips. In the past few years, a mini Ginny doll that is only 5 inches tall has also been produced.

ReplyDeleteHot, hot, hot at My Doll Castle in Claremore, OK. Dolls are staying cool inside!
ReplyDeleteMy Doll Castle is thrilled to have Linda Rick, The Doll Maker, visit again on Saturday, September 18, 2010.
ReplyDeleteLinda is a well-know doll artist, who makes porcelain dolls completely in the United States. Linda also has two lines of vinyl dolls called "Key To My Heart" and "Hayley Girls" and she produces the Precious Moments dolls. Under Doll Maker, Linda works with several exceptional doll artists, such as Diane Bucki, Brynn Middleton Riordan, Bonnie Chyle, and Sharon Robinson.
Linda will bring a Precious Moments doll ONLY available at her signings! And there's a very good chance she'll be making an exclusive doll again for My Doll Castle. Last year's doll was loved by all. Being a limited edition, she was missed by some who came late. So stand by for more info on this year's doll.
Anyone feeling "Trendy" today? Trendy is the name of this Key to My Heart by Linda Rick. She is 12" of stylish chic!
