QOTW: Who was your first Blythe doll?
Written on November 24, 2014 at 12:00 pm by MichelleFiled under: Question of the Week
Choosing my first Blythe doll was an interesting experience. I actually bought a Cappuccino Chat in a local-ish shop in British Columbia, back in 2009. That store only carried a handful of Blythes and most of them were marked up at prices above what they were going for on eBay – except for one. Cappuccino Chat. I wish I had some crazy story about how I won a bidding war or happened across a lowly marked Blythe was being sold as a Buy It Now, but I really got her because she was the only one that they were selling that was slightly less than eBay prices. Sad but true.
You may know her just a little bit better as Sophie, my delightful and stylish drama princess. She was my first Blythe, and she still resides here. I know some people who have sold on their first Blythes in exchange for better ones, but Sophie holds a special place in my heart. If I wasn’t so enamoured with her, I never would have gone on to get so many more Blythes. In a way, she is responsible for all her sisters and how many dolls she has to share a shoe closet with.
Who was your first Blythe doll?
My first was my Natasha Moore Pavlova…she is still here surrounded by about fifty of her counterparts. I saw her on CCToys and my hubby ordered her for me. She started Blythe Fever that has yet to stop.
My first was Rosabela, my MPG, who arrived about a month AFTER I won a giveaway on this very blog for 3 gorgeous little knitted sweaters. Of course Rosabela has lots of sisters now too 🙂
My first Blythe is Edith ( Slow Nimes ), after looking at different ones for a couple of years (hard to choose!) I saw her listed by a seller from here in British Columbia and that was it. <3 She has only been with me for a few weeks, but her wardrobe is already expanding. I'm sure she won't be my last 😀
I’m the same way about Aury, my Ice Rune. She is so special to me.
Vea was my first girl… She was a custom ADG that I bought off of Blythe Kingdom. All I knew was that I wanted a custom girl and I couldn’t imagine spending more than $100 bucks. Vea was that girl for me. I will love her forever.
