The box turned up!

Treesa's box, which I feared lost or stolen, was here the whole time.  My fool of an uncle put it in the wrong pile of boxes.  But it's here, not lost, not stolen, and I am very glad.  The box was small and compact, and that excited me because good things come in small packages.  Case in point:

That's a vintage Skipper case, and was both heavy and noisy so I knew it had stuff inside.  Treesa explained that I'd appreciate the contents more than she did.  She was hoping for old Skipper items, but spoilers, it wasn't Skipper inside.  

There were Dawn dolls inside, plus a LOT of accessories.  Some of it is Rock Flowers stuff.

There's a good reason for there to be Rock Flowers clothes in there, as one of the dolls is a Rock Flowers doll.  I think this is Lilac.

Then there's Dale, like I wanted...

There's Angie and Dawn...

...and I think this well-dressed chap is Gary.

That rounds out my Dawn collection very nicely!  Also, I didn't show this, but everything fits inside that Skipper case like a glove.  I never would've guessed it, but Dawn and her friends are nice and cozy in there.

Treesa included these for my Baby Alive bunch.  Both the cookie and the bottle are "magic" and can be pretend-eaten by the doll in question. 

I love magic bottles!  I thought those were the cat's meow growing up.  These items aren't exclusive to Baby Alive, either; I can use them on any of my baby dolls.

There was Build-a-Bear stuff, of course.  Glen Frog has a little brother now, and he's delightfully soft.

Glen will probably get this shirt too.  I've been on the lookout for clothes that might suit him.

This last outfit is for the girls.  I got the blouse bass ackwards (there's a decorative tie on the front), but y'all get the idea.  This will probably go to Flaxie when I find her.

I used to like little boxes that could store things, so receiving this was a joy too.  It's a well-made little box, and it too is stuffed.

The contents were mostly fashion doll accessories, including shoes for Rainbow High dolls, but my favorite items were these Peeps-themed things.  They look like they might've belonged to an L.O.L. Surprise doll.

There was also a necklace in there, which I promptly bestowed upon a doll y'all have not yet met.

There were also some dollhouse items in the tin box, items that I think were once Christmas ornaments. 

The chest opens, revealing four little mini ornaments.  One of 'em is a kitten. 

Those are cute!  They'll make lovely Christmas decorations for my dollhouse if I ever put it together.  

Rounding out the box from Treesa were these patterns.  There's a set for American Girls and one for Pansy...

...and there's a set for Carpatina and similar dolls.

I also want to go over what Tam sent, since her items were very thoughtful as well.  I used to love using face mask, and now is a lovely time to get back into it.

These cute stickers, which are library-themed.

There's this hair clip, which also ties into my occupation. 

This last item is an accessory set for American Girls and dolls of a similar size.  There are some technological gadgets in there.

I love the wrapping paper Tam used on some of these.  It's Nutcracker-themed and reminds me of one of my favorite hair bows.

Add a Pickles anthology and a large package of those travel-sized tissue packs to my gift haul, and that's my Christmas for the year.  It was nice and quiet, just like I like.  Mama made juicy burgers (our family's version of a Sloppy Joe) and we had a nap, and that was that.  Now I'm back to work, and on Tuesday I go for a more extensive ultrasound, so hopefully I'll wrap up the year with a set date on fibroid surgery.  We'll see.

Thank you Tam and Treesa for the gifts!  Here's hopin' y'all are safe and well, and that mayyyybe you're enjoying some warm weather.  Malden's highs have been records over the past week, and it's gonna stay that way until Sunday.

Happy Boxing Day,
