Wonderful Change in 2015
The biggest and wonderful change for me this year is to rekindle my love for doll collecting and doll photography. This change then directed my focus from making girl’s hairclips to doll accessories.
How I started
I started my personal blog* to record my life as a new mom and how I spend my time with my Miss Rainbow (For those of you who don’t know Miss Rainbow, she is my super active toddler who requires me to constantly chase her everywhere.)
As I recorded my hobbies and showed some hairclips that I handmade for Miss Rainbow, some friends encouraged me to sell. Therefore, I opened My Etsy shop with blessings from friends around me.
As time goes by, I started receive special requests to make miniature accessories and blankets for dolls. Thanks to my first few customers, their enthusiasm in dolls inspired me to make more doll accessories.
Without thinking too much at first, I realized that I am doing exactly what I love the most: To be close to my dolls!
Dolls bring back memories
I got my first Barbie in the 2nd grade from my father. Dolls were my best friends during quiet times because I was often alone due to the large age gap with my older siblings. When my father passed away during my high school years, playing and collecting dolls further became a way for me to remember and miss him.
So if you are like me who simply love the idea of playing, collecting, photographing, or simply having fun with your dolls, then stay awhile and connect with me. I always love to see other people’s collections!
*Note: My previous personal blog will expire soon, so I am not including its info here. Hopefully I can move some information to this blog in the future since this new blog is permanent ^_^.
Nice to hear your story, Ellen! Love the photos of your beautiful creations too! xo Jennifer
