As Frequently happens in the doll world,
I have made a friend who has delightedly
led me into collecting dolls I had no
notion that I would love SO much!
Janet and I first met when she commented
on this blog in 2018!
It was my Christmas post for that year.
Christmas Post 2018
Not long after that, Janet first introduced me to
Soon after the Mary Hoyer dolls,
Janet suggested I might enjoy
Little Miss Revlon dolls and her friends.
I did a quick search and found...
This sad Little Miss Revlon.
Even through all that dirt I could see potential.
I named her Julia and she was just the first!
Soon Amanda (American Character Toni)
joined her friend Julia.
Soon after their arrival the girls got
their own Townhouse.
AND a wood doll camper!
The twins, John and Chris (Uneeda Bob doll)
came on the scene and started dating the girls.
Then Amanda's brother Tom (Vogue Jeff)
Arrived.
Then Lauren and lastly...
Ideal Crown Princess Viola.
Well, as most of you know, I have spent a LOT of time
with the Little Miss Revlon dolls and friends.
Here are just a few of their adventures.
Janet not only introduced me to
Little Miss Revlon dolls,
but, years earlier, started the
Little Miss Revlon and Friends online
doll club. Click the link to find out more!
Awhile back, Janet and I collaborated in fixing
up and sharing with our doll club members
some boyfriend dolls. These
dolls are pretty easy to find, but
frequently need some TLC.
I collected a few boys and refreshed them.
Then I sewed them some outfits.

Vogue Jeff
Before and After
All together we fixed up four boy dolls to
share with our club members!
These gentlemen were a great hit.
As a "Thank You" to me Janet surprised me
with some of her doll outfits!!
Janet is one of those amazing people who
knits equisite small doll outfits!
First Janet sent this beautiful purple knit
sheath dress for Lauren.
Look at this tiny knit dress!
So amazing!
Janet made these outfits for my
Crown Princess doll Viola including
a matching hat and purse.

Janet said that with a name like Viola,
she needed some lavender outfits.
Just look at these tiny knitted
tops and dresses!
Janet also sent me this
beautiful nightgown
Last but not least, Janet made this
lovely hankie pillow for
Viola.
Janet has been a great friend to me,
even though we have never met in person!
(She lives out East and I live in the West)
I have learned so much from all my
online doll friends, but I owe a
special thank you to my dear friend
JANET.

Hi Brenda, Another great dolly post. You have introduced me to so many other types of vintage dolls that can be found to rehab. Kudos to Janet and her knitting skills. Thanks for showing all these cuties.
