    Easter Chit Chat!!

    Send us Fan Mail Welcome back to La Dolly Dispatch for a relaxed catch-up episode!! With Easter here, we’re sharing what we’ve got planned for the long weekend— that’s a bit of rest, a bit of crafting, or maybe even some dolly-themed fun. It’s also the perfect time for a refresh, so we chat about simple ways to tidy up, restyle, and give our Blythe dolls a little extra love—think wardrobe edits, hair touch-ups, and reorganising those ever-growing collections. Of course, we couldn’t go without checking in on what’s happening in the wider Blythe community. From new releases to little bits of news and chatter, we touch on what’s caught our eye lately and what we’re excited about. And as always, it wouldn’t be a catch-up without a bit of real-life sprinkled in. We share what’s been happening in our own worlds lately—the everyday moments, the busy bits, and everything in between. It’s a cosy, chatty episode—like sitting down with friends for a good catch-up. 💕 Enjoy those eggs!!

    Blythe History 2017 Part 1!!

    Send us Fan Mail This week on La Dolly Dispatch, we continue our journey through Blythe history as we dive into the colourful and creative world of 2017 — a year packed with bold concepts, imaginative storytelling, and some truly unforgettable releases. Beyond the dolls themselves, 2017 was also an exciting time for the broader community. We talk about new store openings that gave collectors special places to connect, browse, and celebrate their love of Blythe, along with beautiful book releases and inspiring art exhibitions that highlighted the creativity surrounding the hobby. It was a year where the Blythe world felt especially alive with collaboration and artistic energy. To round things out, Annie brings a thoughtful dolly collecting question to the table — one that might have you reflecting on your own collection, your motivations, and what truly brings you joy as a collector.  Whether you’ve been collecting since 2017 or you’re discovering these dolls for the first time, this episode is a nostalgic and inspiring look back at a year full of colour, creativity, and heart. 💕 Dolly hugs Annie & Angelique xx Don't forget if you love the podcast and would like to help us with a coffee, here is the link- buymeacoff.ee/ladollydisB If you have any news or info you would like to share about the world of Blythe, please let us know.
