Blythe Fest Vendor Showcase 12 - Blythe Star

My name is Lyndell 

I have an Etsy shop called BlytheStar 

Where I sell hand knits, sewn goodies and jewellery for Neo & Middie Blythes.  Knits include swimsuits, jeans & dresses.  Sewn goods include hats, dresses and occasionally costumes.  The jewellery is mostly necklaces but I also make earrings - sometimes there are matching sets - parures  ;-)

I have been mildly obsessed by Blythe dolls since 2004 when I met my daughter's French Trench, called BiBi.

Blythe Fest Vendor Showcase 11 - Abella Blythe

Hi my name is Naomi from Abella Blythe. I have been collecting Blythe for three years. The day I fell in love with this big eyed beauty, I spent 14 hours straight on the net "researching". There have been many a day like that since, I'd say I'm pretty die hard, obsessed even! I adore Blythe and really enjoy customising her. Many hours of love goes into each girls creation. I tried a few other dolly pass times but customising is it for me. My dolly philosophy is simple. I like to make pretty girls that are attainable for anyone who would like to own one. I collaborated with Dragonmels and Hey Dolly Boo to create this years traveller doll Little Red which was fun. At Blythe Fest I will be selling some pretty storage items for dolly accessories because every girl has bibbity bobbity boos! I hope to bring along a few other bits and pieces and showcase some dolls I have created. I haven't been able to make many dolls this year as I am the head of the Blythe Fest committee and that's kept me pretty busy. I hope to get back to making more dolls soon. Come along to my stall, or just stop me and say hi, I would love to meet you xxx

A funny fact: I can't create a doll with no name, so I name them all!

Blythe Fest Vendor Showcase 10 - I Heart Blythes

Hi my name is Sherryl and I run 'I Heart Blythes'. My very first pink girl came to live with me in 2009 and I have been hooked ever since. 

I have always loved sewing and now I sew for my girls. Anything 'PINK' is my favourite fabric colour to sew with, but I do use other colours too. I love to make pretty fitted dresses with beautiful silks and embroidery as well as cute cotton summer frocks.

I will also have for sale a limited amount of costumes made from vintage care bears and hopefully some Smurfs and Minnie Mouse costumes too (If time allows).

And anything else I have time to make I will post on my instagram page below.

Can't wait to see you all there!!

Blythe Fest Vendor Showcase 8 - Girls Wear Blue Too

Hi my name is Tammy
My shop is Girls Wear Blue Too - Pretty things for Blythe Dolls
In my Shop you will find a range of clothes that at the moment are predominately for the Middie Girls. I knit, sew and crochet.
At blythefest, on my table, you can expect to see a nice range of crochet dresses, lots of knitted cardis and sweaters for both big and little girls. Also some pants and T's for middies and possibly some sewn dresses too. I follow my creativity where it leads and at the moment yarn has my heart.
I first discovered Blythe in about 2009/10 when quite a lot of my online friends became enamoured with her and I honestly couldn't see what all the fuss was about, that is, until around the middle of 2011 when her charms started to woo me, and before the end of that year I had my first girl. My dolly family has grown and shrunk and grown again in the intervening years and at the moment consists primarily of Middies but I do still have two Neo's.

Blythe Fest Vendor Showcase 7 - Candy Kingdom Elite

My name is Lucy Murphy and I run Candy Kingdom Elite. I will be selling Blythe themed jewellery and accessories. I have included some photos of my wares. I would like to donate some earring packs and some fairy wand sets.

Blythe Fest Vendor Showcase 6 - Brenne Cottage

My name is Robynne.

I run Brenne Cottage.

I sell and like to create mainly items for Blythe hair.

I discovered Blythe first on Pinterest and was taken by how photogenic they were. This led me to Flickr and I was hooked. Sometime in early 2013, Mandy offered through Google for me to purchase a ticket and attend a Blythe Fest here in Sydney. I had no dolls at this stage but was really excited. So from there the passion began.

I discovered Blythe dolls a few years ago whilst I was researching for ideas for Cloth Art Dolls that I also make. These big eyed girls kept popping up onto the screen, I was absolutely amazed by the versatility and range of these wonderful dolls. I researched for quite a while and joined a lot of forums and groups before I built up the courage to buy my first one. And well as you know, it was probably the most exciting day when that parcel arrived and that feeling you get when unwrapping her for the first time is kind of similar to the day you take your new baby home from hospital – well your world just changes for ever and there’s no going back ;)
I have fallen in love with Blythe dolls and the community and support that comes along with it is like no other I’ve come across before. It is a wonderful and very rewarding hobby, and I’m so grateful every day that I stumbled across these little girls with big personalities and their big eyes xx

How I discovered Blythe...

I joined an Aussie Forum for My Child dolls, and saw a separate group for Blythe.

Curious, I initially thought: Wow, look at this big eyed, big head doll, I’m not sure if I like her or not...

but the more I discovered, the more I liked, especially older ebl/sbl custom girls...

and I fell for Blythe forevermore 

I’ve always been partial to darker/gothic/vampire customs, but also love a cute bright girl too.
