So random, March '25

March 2nd.  I was puttering around with a future post that tangentially involves Orange Blossom. 

I'd only then learned that the brim of Orange's hat was supposed to be curled back.  I had been leaving the brim uncurled; it threw shadows like mad, but I thought it was supposed to be that way.  I stand corrected, though I don't guess it matters too terribly.

March 2nd.  I was gearing up for Bae Day Monday and caught Valencia Rose and Candela Laura together. 
I love the #4 head!

March 3rd, Bae Day Monday asked for green-eyed and/or red-haired Cabbie girls.  I've got several with one or the other, but for simplicity's sake I'm only doing my sole girl with both attributes.  That one is Valencia Rose, as seen above. 

She's still wearing her gummy bear overalls from last fall, but that'll be a good ensemble for Easter so I'm leaving her be.

March 6th.  Andra strikes a pose.

I love this doll.  In the short time that she's lived at Casa Pizarro Andra has become one of my favorites.

March 7th, 2025.  The new meets the old.

Ever the ladies' man, Ernest John cuddles with Princess Pipp Petals, one of my Baby Alive dolls.

March 9th.  It was a beautiful, mild day (with some wind, since it's March).  My spring fever was high, as was someone else's. 

This is Megan Byte, a Jaggets doll by Famosa.  I discovered the Jaggets about ten years back and thought they were cute, and before I put myself on this infernal budget I bought my own Jaggets.  Megan will get her review in late May, hopefully. 

Talky Velvet also decided to pop in.

I forget just how cute Velvet is!  I have her braids pulled a smidge tight, but oh well.  Their purpose is to prevent tangles.

March 10th, another Bae Day Monday, for green-eyed and/or red-haired Cabbie boys.  Again, I have one boy that ticks both boxes, Gavin Andrew. 

I think he's just as happy about the beginning of spring as Megan Byte is...and I owe poor Kory Aryan an apology, as he also is green-eyed and red-headed.  His hair is usually covered by a hood, so I forget!

March 13th.  Candela Laura was my companion that day, and the flowers at Casa del Luna were out in full force. 

I wish I knew what kinda bush that was, because I love the leaves.

March 16th.  Buried Secrets Draculaura strikes a pose.  These stiff budget dolls can still look freaky fabulous if given enuff time.

I found out a few weeks ago that there's gonna be another wave of these, and I'm excited for that.  Looks like Toralei Stripe and Clawdeen Wolf are gonna be in on it, along with Frankie Stein and Draculaura.  They have simple little outfits like my Draculaura does, and they have specialized makeup.  I'm looking forward to those; I don't have any of those characters in G3 form except Draculaura, and even she's cute.

March 17th.  It goes without saying that Cabbie Love (my Failbook group) wanted Kids in green that day.  Candela Laura makes another appearance, but this time she's joined by Primrose Jessalyn and Kory Aryan.

That same day I snapped a picture of Matthew Tommie and Kitrick Randolph Fergus together. 

Matt predicted that he and Kit would grow close as time passed, and he turned out to be right.  Lucey Dena is always close by too; she's just out of frame to my left/Matt's right.

March 20th.  The sky was clear, the wind was high, and I had Gwenda Cecile with me.

Posin' Kids have stiff arms due to their internal frames, and Gwenda looks to me like she's reaching out for a hug.

March 21st.  Margot Madeline got a new outfit!

Thank you, Mama!  I love the outfits you pick for my dolls!

Same evening, different doll.  Solana Sunburst tries to wave, but her arms are a mite stubby for that.

Solana is the Glitter Babyz that I referred to yesterday, by the way.  As I promised, a review is in the making, though it'll be awhile yet.

March 23rd.  ColorSilk Kids came up on a Failbook group, so I let Kory Aryan show off.

Kory's such a little ham!  The weather was poopy again that day, hence the indoor picture with the pillow, but Kory didn't let it bug him.

For some reason this image popped up in my memories on March 23rd, but it was taken on October 28th, 2021.  It's Kailey in a sweater set.

The colors do flatter her, I must say.

March 24th, Bae Day Monday.  The theme was yellow, and the weather that day was perfect for such a happy, sunshiney color.  Cleopatra Chantale is the doll in question. 


I ended up having to do two takes, the sun was so bright.  These lawn chairs are as old as Cleopatra Chantale is, by the way, and both chair and Cabbie are a only a couple'a years younger than me.  I was two when Mama and Daddy bought those chairs for Grandma, and they've been put to good use. 

Same day, different dolls.  These dolls are Peggy Pumpkin (left) and a Cry Baby, Ayla, both fresh out of their packaging.  Oh yeah, and Draculaura is photobombing.

I solemnly swear that I did not deliberately put Peggy's hand on Ayla's.  I just put her where my Barbie box meets the couch cushion, and her hand slipped over Ayla's.  Pretty cute.

March 29th.  My Cabbage Patch group calls mail related to the Kids as Cabbie mail, and for me it's usually a cute little outfit (usually bought by Mama).  This was the case on the 29th.

Candela Laura slipped out of her shamrock dress and into a romper that she can wear clean through to fall.  Unless I want to put her in her elephant outfit, that is.  I love that set.

March 30th.  There was a confirmed tornado in the Neelyville area and another severe storm angled to our south.  These two were helping me stay calm (some hot and heavy praying helped too).

In addition to Candela Laura, I've got one of the dolls that Setsu-P sent me.  An in-depth discussion of that stuff is coming.  As to the storms, Malden got a lot of rain and a lot of wind, but again, we came through it fine.  

And that brings a very stormy March to a close.  Doesn't look like the first week of April is gonna be any better.  Our eyes turn now to Wednesday...

God bless,

Big haul

My mailbox was full today!  I haven't gotten a haul this big in a long time, and it's all dolly crap.  There are eight packages all told, and most of it is AG stuff.  Most, but not all of it.  I thought the non-AG item would be in this box...

...but that turned out to be a new pair of shoes for (spoiler alert) a new doll.
This particular seller is one I've bought from before, and she sent me a nice little doll-sized bracelet as a freebie.
The next package was fat and heavy, and I remembered ahead of time what it was.
The contents are extra-sparkly!
The two little baggies contain AG-sized necklaces.  These could probably also be used as bracelets for us humans.
The seller also included some sparkly magnets as a freebie.
Next package.  Hmm, flat and malleable...must be an outfit. 
Yep, it's a fall-themed outfit.  My mother got this one for me (the rest is my own doing).  I told Mama that the new doll needed something for fall, and she delivered with this cute little number.
The pumpkin is a unicorn.  I love how creative that is!
Next package is about the same, but it felt a little stiffer.
Turns out that this outfit was stored on a full-body hanger.  I've never owned a cheerleading set before, and now I do.  It even came with little socks!
The next package is also flat and soft.
I ordered this last Saturday and it's already here.  This one is a legit AG product, and I intend it to be for Zoe since she looks so pretty in dark pink.
The seller included a beanie and two tack pins, which are supposed to be for humans.
A gray baggie now!  It's hard inside. 
Apologies for the cruddy picture.  I got these for the new girl since she has pierced ears but no studs.
This pink baggie looks like a dog got ahold of it.
Hmmm...maybe that dog was Snoopy!  LOL, my family loves Peanuts, and none of my American Girls has a Peanuts-themed outfit.  I just changed that!
I'm down to my last package!  This one is the one that is NOT AG-themed, and I'm a little surprised that the seller didn't put her in a box.  Yep, her.
No harm done!  She...or rather, they are in one piece.  It's Orange Blossom and her buddy Marmalade. 

According to the wiki Orange is shy and sensitive, but also brave and good-natured and a little stubborn.  I also read somewhere that Marmalade is the only SSC pet who makes noise (strange for a butterfly), but I could be wrong.  My mom dearly loves Orange Blossom, and I got this doll to brighten her days when she needs it.  Orange will be helping out with a review soon, so don't click that X.

Now that I have everything ready for my new American Girl she's ready to be seen...but of course I'm not gonna show her yet.  She's nothing super-special, just a fair-skinned, blue-eyed blonde, but I like her and that's what matters. 

See y'all very soon,
