In this photo, the Chelly Wood doll (actually a Spin Master Liv doll that has had its face re-painted and its wig dyed grey to look like the doll clothing designer, YouTuber, and writer Chelly Wood) stands in her sewing room with her arms spread out wide in a welcoming stance. On the doll's right (your left) we see her hutch filled with tiny folded fabrics. There's a window directly behind her. At her side is her sewing desk with tiny fabrics, a miniature sewing machine, and other sewing supplies on top. To her left (your right) behind the doll, there's a sea blue mannequin displaying an in-progress sun dress with a tape measure around the mannequin's neck. Hanging from a sea blue hanger on the wall is the white party dress with tiny polka dots that often appears in Chelly's videos on the mannequin. The floor is hard wood. The wall is purple. Chelly's desk chair has been upholstered in sea blue fabric. In the corner of the image is the logo for ChellyWood.com

Can you help identify this Barbie doll? #CollectibleToys #VintageDolls

Can you help me identify this Goodwill find? I recently discovered this lovely lady at my local Goodwill, for less than $3.00, and what a find! Her hind quarters indicated that she was a vintage Barbie doll, but her face doesn’t look that old. So I think we have a “mix-and-match” going on here. Sometimes a year will be printed on the back of the … Continue reading Can you help identify this Barbie doll? #CollectibleToys #VintageDolls

Surrounded by a purple frame, a 10 and 3/4 inch Strawberry Shortcake doll with bright red -- almost pink -- hair that flows in long waves models a white cotton pinafore style sleeveless sun dress dotted with tiny strawberries. The image is overlaid with the words "free pattern" and in the corner of the image, we see the Chelly Wood dot com business logo.

On a background of purple cotton fabric that has tiny white polka dots, we see the words "free pattern" and the Chelly Wood dot com logo beside a photo of Rainbow High "Sheryl" doll wearing a handmade dress that's reminiscent of a child's dress from the Victorian era. The dress has short sleeves, a mid-calf-length full skirt, and a cropped bodice. It's made of pastel green cotton fabric with tiny white polka dots.
