BaD January 1 - Oldest Doll

This is a very old photo of my first Blythe - Lillian (on the left with her hair still perfect 'just out of the box') with BiBi - the first Blythe doll I met.

 

BiBi is a French Trench and was given to my daughter by a hopeful suitor - she is very much a mini-me of my daughter. The suitor was not successful but at the time, I'd been sewing very fancy clothes for a Barbie doll who had her own website and Barbie dolls are very difficult to sew for because they go in&out a lot ... !!

I found the Blythe body much easier to sew and knit for and started making clothes for BiBi ... but at the time both BiBi and my daughter lived interstate and so ...

...

I had to get a Blythe of my own ... and that is why Lillian came to live with me - and the rest is history ;-)
