1972 Special Edition Kenner Blythe

Yes! A 1972 Special Edition Kenner Blythe has been found!!!!! No... not the regular 1972 Blythes... You read it right! A SPECIAL EDITION 1972 Blythe!!!!! I am so excited! LOL

She was at the bottom of a dirty box full unwanted toys at the flea market. The poor thing was unrecognizable... then, all of a sudden I saw some dirty old paper... documentation about her. Thank goodness she was just dirty and no body parts were damaged.

You see the picture... that paper with the ugly handwriting..... It says she is a 1972 Special Editon Blythe and that there was only one of them made. How lucky!!!!! Her dress was scraps from what used to be a beautiful maxi dress made specially for a belle. My goodness am I lucky! I went shopping for fabric and now am going to make her a new dress. She will be presented to my Flickr society friends this August 30th. =^____^=

 

 

***Note:

The previous statement was made up... maybe I'll get some extra points for the Blythe Runway Challenge. tee hehehehe

 

Here is the Challenge:

"Ok, so for the August challenge, I thought we could keep things simple and sweet, and give some honor to our 1972 Kenner inspirations.

 

GRANNY DRESS CHALLENGE

 

Make a granny dress, fit for a 1972 Kenner Blythe, fresh off the shelf. You can use any fabric, colors, or trims of your choice. For those of you who may not know what a granny dress is, I will post some inspiration pictures for you.

 

The catch? You can make only ONE dress and ONE accessory (accessory is not required). Your doll can be wearing shoes and hair decorations if needed, but the dress itself must be the focus of your entry."

 

 

Thank you for reading! Wish me luck!
