Instagram, Petite Blythe Dolls, Gifts, and Giveaway

Hi y'all! What a beautiful summer we've been having! A good friend of mine suggested I try Instagram, given my interest in visual images. I'm finding that it's a lot easier than blogging, because you can load photos from your day, life, and interests with or without text. Since it's all done with your cell phone, it couldn't be easier! So here's my Instagram link, in case you're interested in seeing what I'm up to: www.instagram.com/pdxjbear/.


I have a new interest as of the last few months: Petite Blythe dolls. I love how they have a bit of a Japanese manga look to them, and they fit in 1:12 settings beautifully. It's fun to make clothes for them too. :-) Speaking of clothes, a dear friend sent this darling outfit for my dolls. To see all of my dolls, look here.

See the tiny green plush bunny in the photo? Pepper of MitchyMooMiniatures  sent him, along with four other adorable mini plushies, to thank me for a small gift I sent her. What a generous and talented person! If you want to see some amazing miniature scenes, look no further than Pepper's blog.

Speaking of gifts, I received some lovely surprise gifts at Christmas from Monica of Kitchen Miniature blog, Birgit of BiWuBaren on the Blog, Fabiola of Miominimondo blog, and Kikka of  Pieni Sammakko blog. And the Christmas before last I received some lovely surprise gifts from Irina of Narina Napertaa blog that I completely forgot to mention. How embarassing! As they say, better late than never! Simona of Soft and Malleable blog also sent me some beautiful gifts. Thank you, one and all, for your very thoughtful presents!

I notice that a lot of bloggers are away this summer, so I plan to host my giveaway celebrating four years of blogging in September, when people are online again. I hope you all are enjoying your summer or winter, whatever it may be, and I look forward to seeing you here, on Pinterest, and on Instagram. Until we meet next, keep it fun! xoxo Jennifer

    I'm so happy that you like Instagram, it is a friendly place with nothing to do, just taking photos when you want! ;)
    Your girl is very cute with her new dress!
    Have a great week my sweet friend, see you soon on Instagram! Big hugs.

    Hi Jennifer! Your little doll is a cutie pie! You wrote your instagram wrong in your link. It takes you to some creepy site. You just misplaced the s and t.
    hugs♥,

    Hi Jennifer! I LOVE your Petite Blythe collections and their clothes are Wonderful! I so enjoy the variety of dolls and critters that are the citizens of your little kingdom. Your stories which accompany them are FUN to read and remind me of when I was a little girl and the bed time stories that my mom would tell. Your blog gives me the same warm fuzzy feeling whenever I visit, so Please don't stop blogging because Instagram may be
    quick and easy but your blogs are a treasured pleasure! :))

    I am so glad you are on Instagram Jennifer! And welcome to the petite Blythe doll pool. It's very fun to collect them. I only have 2 petite blythe. Their size fits Sylvanian houses or any 1:12 miniature goods. So it's easy to find accessories for them.

    NOOOOOOO, don't do it Miss J...I went searching for a blythe doll on the cheap and wound up addicted to thrift store Barbie/bratz/jem and various celeb dolls plus I have a whole stash of 1:12 dolls at the store for my San Franciscan that I cant even bring home..I seriously need a program for this addiction. (she's cute..but I wont look cause I'll wind up wanting her too..I need help) congrats on your 4 years :)
