The image shows the close-up of a human hand holding ten different tiny books. The one on top is particularly small and has a paper dustjacket. The title of the book reads as follows: "How to measure your dolls, by Chelly Wood." All other books appear to be painted with tiny white pages and covers of various colors including tan, brown, red, purple, bright blue, yellow, and pink. The watermark reminds you to visit ChellyWood.com for free doll clothes patterns and tutorials.

Here we see a Chelsea male doll / boy doll standing next to a Polly Pocket ice cream truck. The Chelsea and Friends boy doll is clearly too tall for the ice cream truck. Near the ice cream truck door is a Kelly doll and a knockoff Kelly doll. It's clear that although they're about the right size, these dolls were also not made to fit in the ice cream truck.

Who do you follow on eBay? One of my favorite eBay stores is Dodi’s Shop of Stuff. I’m actually lucky enough to have met Dodi in person, and she’s a woman with a business-sense that I truly admire and aspire to. Her eBay store has over 8,000 reviews with a 99.9% positive rating.

The image shows an American Girl doll, Kaya, wearing a hand-made swimsuit. She stands between two palm trees that seem to be made of wrapping paper cardboard tubes that have been decorated to look like palm trees. In front of the doll is a shimmering "sea" made of table cloth material. Behind her, another table cloth is decorated with quilt batting to look like clouds. The words overlaying this scene say, "Doll Beach" and the URL ChellyWood.com is offered, as a location where you can learn more about creating this and other dioramas for doll play videos.

In a room with purple walls and a white floor, a Petite Barbie stands poised elegantly in front of two windows. To her right is a white wicker love seat and a white wicker table loaded with a tiny porcelain tea set. To her left is a matching white wicker chair. She wears a handmade Halloween party dress made of cotton. The sleeves of the dress are rich orange with white cuffs. The body of the dress and the skirt are made of black fabric dotted with tiny candy corns. The skirts hem is edged with orange satin ribbon overlaid with tiny one eighth inch rickrack trim. The doll is African or African American with a deep chocolate complexion. Her bright orange plastic shoes tie the whole outfit together, bringing out the orange in the candy corn print and the orange of the sleeves.

A re-painted Barbie with grey hair wears a pair of bi-colored trousers, a Renaissance jester print tunic, and a cape. She carries a handmade wine bottle. Her character looks male. There's a marketplace diorama behind her.
