Poppy at the Flower Market
When I started making 1/6 flowers, it was with this diorama in mind. I wanted to do a French style flower market. I started with 1/6 roses and then just kind of took off into other types and varieties. I have not stopped. I work predominately in paper. All kinds of paper from tissue through crepe paper and into thicker cardstock. Each flower type has it’s different personality that requires a different structure. That is part of the beauty of discovery when crafting I suppose. For me, there is a photo shoot concept at the end that drives me. I have had some really epic fails and also..I am happy to report…some extraordinary successes.
Part of the project for this flower market was the construction of the flower shop window. That was accomplished with foam core board, stucco spray paint , plastic and dollhouse molding. I figured out how to make the little French flower pails out of paper. This glorious Dior inspired suit by Chris Stoeckel for Integrity Toys fits Poppy beautifully. It just needed a French flower shop backdrop.

Nadja Rhymes™ Dressed Doll
The NU. Face® Collection
2021 W Club Upgrade
*$140; (This doll will have a $25 non-refundable deposit due immediately, with a $115 + shipping/handling/taxes balance due at shipping time, approximately in Summer 2021).
Edition Size: TBD
Head Sculpt: Nadja 2.0
Body Type: NF 3.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: Hungarian
Hair Color: Cinnamon
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
Bring on the houndstooth I say!! I love that Jessy did this in pale lavender too. It’s glorious with Nadja’s cinnamon hair and a first for IT in using this hair color with this facemold. The larger purse is inspired by Dior’s book tote
And small bag is inspired by JACQUEMUS “ Le Chiquito” bag
The outfit is another IT homage to Alaïa with an update to the jacket…fabulous translation!!
A definite must for any NuFace collector. This one is going in my cart for sure!!
Bijou
Elyse Jolie™ Dressed Doll
The Fashion Royalty® Collection
2021 W Club Upgrade Doll
*$140; (This doll will have a $25 non-refundable deposit due immediately, with a $115 + shipping/handling/taxes balance due at shipping time, approximately in Summer 2021).
Edition Size: TBD
Head Sculpt: Elyse
Body Type: FR 6.0
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled
Skin Tone: A-Tone
Hair Color: Deep Sable
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
Ok..let’s start with the positives. I adore this Elsye face mold in A-tone skin color and sleek sophisticated updo with purple eye shadow. I adore the chunky gold accessories and emerald clasp bag. The shoes are ok. The dress…ummmm….urrrr….I got nothin’ . This is a rare miss for the super talented Jessy Ayala. I don’t get the gown at all. Maybe it just couldn’t translate in this scale well? If it were a two piece thing I could live with it and figure I would just use the top with a different skirt. Regrettably…it’s all one piece so the entire outfit is out for me. I have absolutely no idea where even to start to look for inspiration on this gown …and to be honest….no real desire to. Sorry Jessy. Love the doll, not the dress. Will buy just for the doll so it’s still a win for IT.
Pink Lemonade
Poppy Parker® Dressed Doll
Poppy Parker® in Palm Springs Collection
2021 W Club Upgrade Doll
$140; (This doll will have a $25 non-refundable deposit due immediately, with a $115 + shipping/handling/taxes balance due at shipping time, approximately in Summer 2021).
Edition Size: TBD
Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker
Body Type: PP 1.5
Foot Sculpt: High-heeled

Quickswitch: No
You had me at the pink hair David…you had me at the pink hair. Ohhhh my! Poppy is in Palm Springs this year according to designer David Buttry and she is fabulous in lemon and pink for this first design of the season. I adore the hair but the dress design is a close second. The blue eyes and berry kissed lips are giving me life here..the whole thing is just
Yep…she is definitely going in my shopping cart…no question.
So There you have it. Three fabulous upgrade dolls and a whole lot of perks for the base membership. Frankly, this membership is worth it for the chance to go to the convention alone. For those who like to attend, you need to be a WClub member because the convention sells out every year with just WClub members. The upgrade dolls are extra above and beyond the $50. It has been amazing to see this club grow each and every year. Love it.

Poppy Breaks Out
Hello intrepid followers. It feels like every time I try to get to the blog something blocks the path. For the past month and a half it’s been mother nature and a pesky furnace that just doesn’t want to get with the program. While snow is beautiful and it turns the studio into one big snow globe…it it isn’t heated, its no fun to be in there. After some very stern language and a good furnace doctor…we are back in business in the studio.
I took delivery of some new backgrounds recently for another product photography project and realized they work really well for doll photography as well. The company is called Replica Surfaces. They are kind of pricey for doll photography but might be worth the investment if you want easy to set up and sturdy. I am not being compensated at all for this plug. Just passing on information on a product that I have enjoyed using.
New doll in the studio!! I recently received Rendez Vous in Rio Poppy Parker from the Mission to Brazil Poppy Parker collection. The second I got her, I saw her in green. I had recently seen a stunning Vanity Fair cover of Lupita Nyong’o
And I was inspired by a dress by Rimdoll on Etsy. Here is the product of that inspiration and a newly warm studio.
And because I was having fun with Photoshop, I decided to do some color variations including an early Valentines Day image. Hope you enjoy.
Thank you all for you patience! Looking forward to warmer days and a better relationship with my furnace. I guess you could say we are currently in therapy .

Well Hello Miss Ginger!!
The WClub just announced it’s 5th and final club doll for the year and it was an amazing way to end Poppy Parker’s 10th anniversary year. David Buttry finally released his much anticipated friend ( or is it frenemy) Ginger Gilroy. He did it in the best way possible…giftsetted with a Poppy.
Friend or Foe
Poppy Parker™ and Ginger Gilroy™ Gift Set
The Poppy Parker™ Collection
2019 W Club Exclusive

Price: $199 + S & H
Edition Size: TBA

Body Type: Poppy Parker

Hair Color: Dark Ash Blonde (Poppy) and Titian Red (Ginger)

Miss Gilroy is scrumptious!!! A fitting frenemy to our beloved Poppy. I can’t wait to see what David comes up with for her. I adore the colors and fashions he chose! While I have never been a huge fan of a bubble dress or gown, I adore the light blue confection that Ginger has. The beautiful lavender that adorns Poppy will be welcome when they arrive in the spring of 2020.
Yummy!!!
I adore the lavishness of the accessories too. I like that we now have 2 pairs of white hands and long gloves that we can mix and match with our other Poppy’s. I also appreciated that David gave us two different kinds of wraps…one satin and one fur. Made for a nice change. I am loving the spring pastels as well. This was indeed a fitting way to end out Poppy’s 10th anniversary year. Well done Mr.Buttry!!
If you are not a WClub member(why not?!), you will not have direct access to this gift set. It’s a WClub exclusive. You will need to wait and watch on Ebay next spring. And if you are not a WClub member…you might want to consider membership which will come up again in February of 2020. Watch the blog for details.

From boots to bag, this one has it all for me. The glasses were a nice detail add and the thing that pushed me over the edge and got me to add this one to my wish list from my dealer. For me, the added value was that he is sooooo Pacific Northwest. Had to try and buy.
So that wraps up the images from The Industry Lovesick Collection. While it is not what I collect, I loved the vibrant color combos and nod to recent Gucci runway shows. I also loved all the additional little details Mr Buttry added in…particularly the glasses. I don’t know about other collectors but for THIS collector, it’s those little “value adds” that push me from a “ well I like it” to an “I have to have it”. As a collector, it makes me so happy…as a business person, it makes sense as a business move. All around good!
Also, it was really nice to see David bringing back some favorite characters from discontinued lines. It shows he is listening to the collectors and that is always a good thing.
Ok, so if you are interested in any of these dolls and you are not part of the WClub and already contacted your dealers, you need to act fast. These dolls are going quickly and some may already be sold out. If you don’t know where to check for dealers go to the link below.

Poppy’s London Adventure!–The Swinging London Poppy Parker Collection
David Buttry gave us a sneak peak and a couple tastes of where he was going with his 2017 Poppy Parker collection at the 2016 Integrity Toys Convention last year. Here were some of the slides he shared.
And here were some of the dolls available at last convention that gave us a taste of what was to ahead in 2017 for Poppy Parker collectors
We knew Poppy was going back London in the 60’s…and David Buttry did not disappoint on that vision. And hold on folks…because per the email from Integrity Toys, this is just the first wave of this Poppy collection. The second wave will come later in the year!!!
Note: The dolls pictured in this post are prototypes. Final fabrics, colors and textures may vary slightly. Background props are not included.
Here are the new and oh so hip offerings for the first wave of the stellar Poppy Parker doll line from Integrity Toys for 2017!!
Sign of the Times

It’s a Poppy giftset!! So per the write-up for this doll, Poppy has left Paris of last year ( blue polka dot outfit) and has gotten a makeover on Carnaby street in London. Her new look is the blond bob and white mini. Wow!! From prim and proper to hip and mod. Very nicely done!! Now I am the first one to say the 60’s are not my favorite fashion era but David Buttry has really put time and effort into the story and detail on these. This doll is worth it for the blond bob makeover doll alone. Add in the adorable brunette and the amazingly detailed accessories…total buy. I’m in.
Glad All Over

Another giftset!! ..but not with dolls…this time with clothing. According the write-up on this one, Poppy is debuting her new clothing line of “Poppy Gear”. This set comes with all the clothing and accessories pictured. I ADORE the facial screening on this one. There is quite the treasure trove of shoes in this pack as well. These fashions are straight off of Carnaby street. Love the blue dress with the orange striped tie the best. The color combination is perfect on this doll….and I don’t even like mod clothing…but I enjoy this. Thank you Mr. Buttry for helping me to see the appeal of the 60’s again.

How adorable is she?!! I absolutely adore the accessories in this one. Can we all remember ( well all of us in a certain age bracket) the clear plastic umbrellas we toted to school every day?! Love the little collared sleeveless dress. Surprisingly enough though..I did not get this one. The overly bright pink lips, while totally accurate for the swinging 60’s were just too vivid for me. While I didn’t purchase this one, I can still appreciate her adorableness. She is just plain fun!

Okay…so this was the first doll in my shopping cart for this collection and I will give you one guess as to why. Do you need a hint? It’s in the accessories picture. Come on..I’m a photographer! Yep, that little camera had me all gooey inside. The watch and pink gloved hands also added to the appeal along with the soft facial screening and pastel tweed of this suit. But the camera…this is all about the camera for me. By the 1960’s the 35mm camera had all but taken over. What is that?…is it an old Halina 35x…could be an Spotmatix. Yes, I am THAT much of a camera geek. Anywhoo…Thank you David for this one. Love her and absolutely ADORE her accessories.
David Buttry and the Integrity Team also added a nice little dessert into this collection. The WClub offered up an event exclusive doll…not a lottery doll but a doll available to all club members. As popular as Poppy Parker is this is an especially nice perk. As a club member, I say “Thank You!!!” for that one. She is actually my favorite of this entire collection too.
Welcome to Misty Hollows
Poppy Parker™ Dressed Doll
The Swinging London Collection
IT DIRECT EVENT EXCLUSIVE – WClub member exclusive
Edition Size: TBA
Estimated Delivery: Late Summer 2017
Suggested Retail Price: $130.00 US
Head Sculpt: Poppy Parker
Body: Poppy 1.5 (Body disassembles and features newly improved joint stability)
Foot Sculpt: Traditional Poppy feet with articulated ankles
Skin Tone: Japan
Hair Color: Silver Blond
Eyelashes: Yes, Hand-applied
Quickswitch: No
Deadline for members to order her is very soon so check your emails or the forum!!
Love the facial screening on this one. Very reminiscent of Out of this World Poppy Parker and I adore that one too. For this design, David explained that she is acting in a spooking TV show called “Misty Hollows” hence the candle stick accessory. Nicely done Mr. Buttry.
As a whole, I found the first wave of this collection, from the initial offerings at last years convention to the new dolls just revealed this Friday, entirely cohesive and spot on for the time period it advertised. There was some diversity as far as skin tones and their was range within the line. What I mean by that is there were some more refined looks along with fun, flirty and hip. For those not entirely excited by the fashions of the 1960’s there were stellar accessories and beautiful facial screenings to admire and act as an enticement to buy. A well thought out and cohesive lineup in my opinion. Mr. Buttry stayed true to his vision as expressed at the 2016 convention while trying to appeal to the very diverse collecting tastes of the Poppy Parker collector community. Not an easy thing to do. It’s a very fine needle to thread but I feel David Buttry has successfully done it with this collection.
To David …I raise my glass…job well done!
For those of you who are reading this and and wanting to get any of these dolls ( except for Misty Hollows..she is only available to club members) , you might want to call an Integrity Toys Dealer sooner rather than later. These Poppy’s are going fast.

Sparkle Poppy Sparkle!
And sparkle she does! I realized I had not given any love to this particular convention Poppy for well over a year. Not good. She was part of the 2015 IT convention collection. Here she is in her original outfit and jewelry. She is however, sporting a new set of hands that were a recent find on Ebay.
Check out the teeny, tiny acrylic nails!! I found them on Ebay. Don’t know if this vendor offers them up regularly or if they were just a short term thing but this is where I got them.
Love the facial screening on this one. While nails like this are not something I normally go for…I think they do add a very glamorous look to this Poppy.

Integrity Toy’s “The Industry” 2017 Revealed
Integrity Toy’s made their first collection reveal to the newly minted 2017 WClub the other day and all I can say is Wow! it’s a doozy! As Dolce and Gabbana and many other designers are going to the so called millennials for inspiration and a new ad campaigns, David Buttry appears to be pulling from the same pool…at least with the fashions and accessories.
Millennials = consisting of individuals born between 1982 and 2004.
There have been a lot of positives and negatives written about Millennials. I will stick with the positive. It has been noted that they grew up in an electronics-filled and increasingly online and socially-networked world. This helps to explain some of the many new and fabulous accessories that come with this collection. Hope you enjoy.
Keep in mind that these offerings are available through Integrity Toys dealers and were announced to the WClub a few days a go. If you want any of these …run don’t walk to try and get these. Some may be sold out already.
Come Thru!

Talk about updated hair! This one is an early favorite for many collectors. She comes with sandals and boots and while I love the accessories, I am not loving the dress on this one. It seems way too dowdy for this doll. She needs edgy and hip in my opinion not docile little school girl. The doll though with half flocked and half pink tresses…fabulousness! **note** This doll is articulated at the ankle. The other dolls are not.

These accessories!!! A MUST have. As to the question…”Will Rebecca buy a doll just for the accessories?”. Well…yes she will. I do also like the look of this doll but he is very similar to the Ace McFly doll they produced a couple of conventions ago. I’m still getting him though as the girls and guys in my collection need their makeup artist .
David Buttry and his team did an amazing job with this first full scale ‘The Industry” collection. The accessories alone make this capsule collection worth a look-see. My only complaint is that…there is a WHOLE lot of black going on here. It would be nice to see more color coming in. And also on the subject of black, there was also an absence of it…as in skin tone. I would have liked to have seen an AA model in this lineup. There are, however, a whole lot of mix and match pieces that will be fun to pair with other outfits in my collection and I look forward to being the mini stylist with those and sharing on the blog. I can definitely see my Out of Sight Nadja in many of these outfits.
Again…these dolls are available through Integrity Toys dealers only. Feel free to click on the link to find them.

2017 WClub Registration Begins!!
While some other clubs {cough…BFC…cough} have deferred their opening, Integrity Toys has just announced open enrollment for their 2017 WClub. Integrity Toys never fails to pull out the goodies for their WClub and this year is no exception.
Let’s start with the upgrade dolls! There are three this year and if you sign up for all three…there is a gift involved!!

Foot Sculpt: High-heeled / Traditional

So…this year Integrity Toys and the WClub did things a little differently. They basically polled the 2016 WClub members to see what face mold, skin tone and hair color combination they would like to see in a club upgrade doll. They gave members a little over 2 weeks to vote and here are the results.
It would appear that the majority of members voted for a cream skin toned, raven haired Agnes. This was actually my vote so I’m kind of stoked to see the actual product. I have to admit…I am a little nervous about ordering a doll that I have only seen a sketch of but it is what I voted for so I’m in.
Popster!

As David Buttry told us at the last IT convention, Poppy is headed to London in the 60’s. This lady certainly embodies that! I love that she has this lovely brown hair. While the 60’s are not a time period that I like to collect fashion wise, I can still appreciate the design and aesthetics of this Poppy. Love her white gloved hands and jaunty hat. Thumbs up David!

Poppy Goes to Paris–A Recap
This years theme for the Poppy Parker collection by David Buttry hit a chord with many collectors. I know it hit this collector right in the wallet. I absolutely adored it and can’t wait to see what David has in store for us Poppy collectors at the Integrity Toys convention in October. While we wait for convention, I thought it would be fun to get a group shot of the Poppys we have enjoyed so far this year. Since Poppy is in Paris, I drew inspiration from one of the most iconic Parisian fashion houses of all time…Dior.

Magnifique is Fantastique
When I saw the name on this doll I kept singing the words from a song in “Devil Wears Prada”…”Supersonic, maginfique, tres tres cool and tres tres chic”.
She is definitely tres, tres chic. the hair color is vibrant and beautiful. It needs to be trained a bit when you take it out of the hair net but not too bad (it was packed with hair off to the side so you will need to push it or train it down to sit down against the neck).

The promo shot shows her as this…
What arrived was…I believe…better than the promos but with one caveat.
She has a very sharp look to the left eye placement that frankly…borders on “wonky eye” for my taste. I have photographed her at her best advantage but I had to work at it. Not sure how I am feeling about that. She is gorgeous. Coloring and facial color screening is spot on. Dress is beautiful and jewelry is beyond…really beyond. But…that far to the left stare is looking slightly wrong for me. Not sure what I am going to do yet. Maybe it’s just mine so will be interested to hear what others are experiencing.

The Sleeper has Awakened
Ok..I have to admit the title was for all you “Dune” geeks out there LOL! This line may be from the book and movie “Dune” but we have a bit of a sleeper situation going on in the Poppy Parker Bon Bon collection. Her name is Night at the Ballet Poppy Parker and she has turned out WAY better than the promo shots.
Here is what we were expecting…
Not bad but I have to admit…she was my least favorite in the whole lineup and I almost didn’t order her. Boy oh boy am I glad I did because this is what arrived on Saturday. Check out the gorgeous green eyes on this lady!

Couple things to note:
1) The hair on my doll needed a little tweaking after I took the hair net off. It didn’t take too much to put it all back in order.
2) The necklace is just gold, no stones. This seems kind of weird to me as the bracelet has beautiful blue stones in it but there you go. It looks like it should have a few stones in the necklace or it looks like there was space for it but there aren’t any. Don’t know if this is an oversight or just a last minute budget cut but a number of people have commented on FB that they don’t have any stones in their necklaces either so I don’t think it’s just me. The promo shots of the accessories don’t really show the necklace that well so it may have been intended to be just plain gold all the way along. Just wanted to make people aware.
Huge thanks to my dealer Barb at Windy City Dolls for getting these new Poppy’s to me so quickly!! You are the best.
Let the redressing and photographing begin!!!

Naughty or Nice?
Ok, I have to explain the title a bit. As you all know, I am a huge fan of Poppy Parker and her creator David Buttry. For me, she was the gateway drug from Barbie to Integrity Toys. I realize I need a 12 step program for my addiction but I’m not ready to commit to the program just yet. 
Recently, Integrity Toys held a lottery to purchase two beautiful Poppy Parkers and I was lucky and incredibly thrilled to be picked to purchase not just Miss Amour but the fabulous Powder Puff Poppy Parker as well. I have to thank my daughter for the opportunity as it was her membership that won it and she willingly handed over the option to purchase. Collectors are receiving these dolls and posting some amazing images. This doll is so sweet. Mostly she is portrayed as “nice” and I like it that way.
For these images, however, I decided to portray her in a slightly different way. David Buttry had mentioned in his webinar announcing the Bon Bon Collection that one of his inspirations for this particular doll was the movie “Valley of the Dolls”. I decided to go a little more with that theme. So Poppy comes off as a bit more on the naughty side in these pictures. I want to point out however..that Chip has appeared to have “put a ring on it” at least.

A Terrace in Paris
For those of you awaiting the next installment of “The Art of Fashion Doll Photography and Blogging”, it’s coming. Most likely tomorrow. I forgot to factor in that we were running our son to college ( 5 hours away) this past week so that cut into the available time I had. Fear not…it’s in process for publication in the next couple of days. This also explains why I have not responded to comments in a week. I will be getting to those as well.
In the meantime, I have been sitting on these shots since the initial posting of “J’Adore Miss Amour” and I can wait no longer. These shots came about because 1) I can’t get enough of this pink confection Miss Amour and 2) I had these fun pink balloons and had to use them and 3) I didn’t get a chance to include the adorable little perfume bottle in the last set of shots. 
Now…is she looking at the tray like “I love this perfume and I need to use some” or is she saying “This shoot is boring…I need a drink!” You make the call.
P.S. I have to send a shout out to my friend Rogier at Dutch Barbie World for a little bit of art direction on this one. You were right and It was much appreciated!
-Rebecca
J’Adore Miss Amour
The title speaks for itself. When I first saw this doll my reaction was this…
And..that has not changed upon receiving her. She is EVERYTHING I was hoping for and more. David, I bow down!

The jewelry is fabulous!

A Picnic in Paris
Now that Integrity Toys has announced their collections and all of our collector wallets are sad and limping, I thought it was time to return to Paris for some fun. If I was returning to Paris, Ms. Poppy was going to join me. This new “Ooh La La” Poppy Parker is my current muse and I am loving the giftset mix and match options.
You have to love rement!
-Rebecca
Ooh La La Indeed!!
The WClub Poppy Parker Exclusive arrived just after I returned from Barbiecon a few weeks ago. As with most conventions, I have spent the last couple of weeks going through my acquired treasures and getting over “The convention cold”. When you put around 1,000 people together in a ballroom for multiple events, and these same people get on average 4-5 hours of sleep a night…there is bound to be illness. So… now I am on the mend, I managed to snap some images of this new Poppy Parker and get them ready for the blog.

This one comes to this collector WAY better than the promo shots promised. And the promo shots were pretty darn good. She is simply stunning! Love, Love, Love her.
Love the accessories with this giftset! Lot’s of mix and match options.
I recently had a new logo designed for my main photography business and wanted to try it out on some of the doll shots too. Not too bad 
Thank you Daniel at Photologo!!
For those of you awaiting the beginning of the series of posts on the blogging and doll photography presentation I did at Barbiecon…fear not. It should be up starting this Friday, August 19th. For those of you who did attend the class, the images in this post were taken using the “light bouncing” technique I talked about.
Procrastination and … a Poppy Parker
So, I may not be the queen of procrastination but I believe I would be voted onto the court of princesses of procrastination. I kind of like the sound of that…”Princess of Procrastination”. Anywhoo, I am supposed to be finishing up my presentation for this years NBDCC. I am supposed to be putting the finishing touches on it, wrapping it up and putting it to bed so I can start getting packed for the flight I am taking in a little over 36 hours from now. Am I doing any of that? Noooooooo. Instead, today I received a couple new Poppy Parker’s and I am playing instead. Guess this means I am finishing up the presentation on the airplane.
Love the lavender eyes!! Everything about this set that was promised…was delivered. She is adorable and the little poodle is to die for. Well done David!! I will have to come up with a suitable Paris themed set when I get back from convention.
Now…back to the presentation. If you are attending the NBDCC and are interested in learning more about the photography that I do here on the blog, I will be presenting on Thursday, July 28th at 5 pm in one of the Riverfront rooms at the Hyatt Jacksonville. The time had to be changed from original schedule due to scheduling conflicts.

Chinoiserie
Ok…so many of you readers realize I am a little obsessed with my new Jon Copeland-Childers Poppy Parker repaint right? Another thing I was recently obsessed with was this pink chinoiserie backdrop I did. The apple green eyes of this lovely model inspired this setting and the chance to use this amazing backdrop. Hope you enjoy!

Collectors Welcome “The Industry”
At last years IT convention, David Buttry revealed a new product line of dolls called “The Industry”. This product line is 1/6 Tullabelle. I am so excited about this line because I have always loved Tullabelle but don’t collect the the larger scale dolls. Now I can get that look in the scale that I do collect. Integrity Toys explained that this line will be “a lighthearted street-influenced collection with a mix of vintage and new. “ It was also stated that this Tullabelle will have friends later on this year too so we will be seeing more. Can’t wait!
This 12 inch Tullabelle is “the debut of a brand new, ultra-versatile body sculpt”. She is 12 1/4 inches tall and smaller busted like Nu.Face. IT has stated that there are new removable bottom leg portions on this doll that will enable collectors to change them out so the models can wear flat shoes as opposed to heels. Nice! It was also mentioned that this lady may..in fact…be able to wear Barbie shoes as well. Love it! She is available for preorder through Integrity Toys dealers.

The boots!!! The boots!!! I also love the ash blond hair. While most of my collection is vintage couture based, I am looking forward to exploring this product line and am purchasing this doll. I also think it’s fun that David Buttry gets to expand his design repertoire with this product line. I adore his Poppy Parker designs and I am sure I will enjoy this new collection as well. I also really like the fact that Integrity Toys is listening to their customers and continues to give more flexibility and options for the redressing collector community.

Poppy Goes to Paris!!
And I wish I was going with her! When David Buttry announced this theme for Poppy Parker last year at convention, I thought I would faint of pure happiness. Just the thought of this theme and I was dreaming of all kinds of fabulous Poppy Parker Parisian style. What David Buttry and Integrity Toys gave collectors yesterday were those dreams realized and a confection in pink that has this collector claiming she has seen nirvana…and her name is “Miss Amour”. You will see what I mean. The following dolls will be available at Integrity Toys Dealers. If you are at all interested, you should contact IT dealers NOW. WClub members had 24 hours ahead of you to order. Some of these babies are already sold out.

What’s the first thing a girl is going to do in Paris? SHOP! And you won’t just throw on a pair of jeans to go shopping in Paris…you need to do it in style. This black, yellow and white suit with hat and gloves ensures that Miss Poppy will indeed be shopping in style. The little bag ( reminiscent of an Hérmes Kelly bag) adds that fabulous finishing touch. I love the french twist hairstyle on her too. I am also noticing that there will be plenty of mix and match opportunities within this collection and the doll offered up as the Poppy Parker club doll. Thank you for that David!

Translated..”This is so good”. Indeed she is! Poppy is ready for a night on the town in this adorable little polka dot confection. I already have her pictured at a little table at Laduree for a future photo shoot. If I am already thinking about the photos I am going to take of a doll…she is already in my shopping cart…no question.

The color palette of this collection definitely points to the fact that Poppy is traveling to Paris in the springtime. David Buttry confirmed this in a webcast about the collection. I adore this lavender on the strawberry blonde tresses of this Poppy. I also love the new updated facial screening on this one. It looks like we are getting some new and more sophisticated jewelry for Miss Poppy. NICE! I also love that the “Paris in Springtime” outfit will go nicely with the facial screening of this doll and vica versa.
This collection is an out of the park home run in my opinion. This is exactly what I enjoy collecting. I was happy with the base collection but the upcoming lottery offerings are what have me and many other Poppy Parker collectors salivating.

Oh my word!! She comes with a teddy bear and diary….too cute!! Why oh why does she have to be a lottery doll?!!! Here is hoping that the lottery Gods are kind to me. Looks like the lottery tickets will be sold sometime in late summer. The verbiage says IT direct so not just WClub offering on this one. That makes the low 700 edition size even more alarming. Many more fish in the pond to vie for the right to purchase this beauty. Good luck to all!
And…finally…the pièce de résistance so to speak of this collection in my opinion….

If David Buttry came up to me and said “Hey Rebecca…if I could design the perfect Poppy for you, what would she look like?”, my response would be this doll. 1) She is pink 2) She has pink jewelry 3) she has an updo 4) She has soft facial screening 4) She is wearing a high couture ball gown ( I feel Dior here) and 5) She comes with an adorable mini perfume bottle. I am just going to say it right now…if I don’t get the chance to purchase this one…there will be a sulk fest like no other before it then an immediate grouping of funds to purchase this baby on the secondary market. This one is a must have for me. It looks like this is another IT direct so not just WClub members going after this one. Good Luck to everyone and I may see you in the mud pit of secondary market purchasing after on this one. I need to go work out now.
Next blog post up in 30 minutes talking about the debut doll from The Industry doll collection.

The Black and White Ball Gown
I had the hardest time coming up with a title for this post. Usually, something comes to me right away and that is what I go with. For these set of photos, nothing was jumping out at me so I asked myself “ What are these pictures about?”. The answer that came back to me was…the dress. These photos are primarily about this amazing black and white ball gown made by Eifeldolldress .
