Last, but not Least

3/24/2025

 
Finally, I decided it's time to move on, and finish off the Doll Families albums with the last three sets of group photos.

First, there's a group of Mini and Tiny Kaye Wiggs girls, who don't have individual families.
​Back row from left: Hope, Missy, Fair Layla, Layla Elf, and Lenny. Front row from left: Tillie, Raillie, Talyssa, and Cinnamon.

They have spent much of their time as fairies...

Then there's still the group of my biggest dolls, most of whom have been with me from the very beginning, back when I bought them primarily to be costume models. They haven't been out of the display case in years, mostly because they are so big and heavy, but they are still nice to look at.
From the left; Asa, Carina, Tedros, Hazy, Ryung, Rosy

...and last but not least, my tiniest dolls, the Forest Dwellers...
Back row from left; Kitty and Rhett Fox, Ginger and Smuzhka Raccoon. Middle: Tiana and Mr. Ropuha Toads. Front row; Chip & Joanne Chipmunk, Missy (seated), Max, Melody (seated), Maisie, Mannie, and Muffy Mouse
Picture
They have had all kinds of adventures over the years, like camping trips...
Picture
..and have starred in two books...

So, that's my entire BJD collection. You can see them all in three Favourite Photos albums, starting with the Medieval Family Portraits

*I do still have three of the larger Kaye Wiggs dolls, but they will be going up for sale soon - Miki, Hope, and Nelly - so have not included them.

Thanks for sharing your collection with us. Your "storytellers/actors" are amazing!

I did not know most of the big dolls but, as you mentioned, they have not been on stage much.

The Forest Dwellers are so sweet. They form a truly busy community. We have attended their weddings and parties and outdoor adventures.

I love seeing the Kaye Wiggs girls as modern misses and then watch as they transform into fairies.

I am happy that you have created these reference pages for us so that we can remember the dolls' names and their adventures.

You're welcome. I was thinking of you when I started this project documenting everyone.

The big dolls had lots of action back at the beginning when I was making outfits their size for sale. But they don't get out much anymore. In fact I used an old photo of them from years ago, since it was too much bother to haul them all out for a new photo. The only thing that's changed since then is that Carina's green gown was sold shortly after having taken that photo, and I made her a new forever dress.

It’s so great to see them all gathered in their families and groups. I must have missed Mr. Toad’s book.

Thanks. I thought it might be helpful. At first I was just going to post the actual family portraits, but then I thought it might be more interesting to include a bit more information.

You can check out Mr. Ropuha's book in the Books link at the top. And if anyone is ever interested in an older book they missed, for whatever reason, it's never too late to still order one.

Thank you for all the time you've taken to produce these collections of photos of your collection 😊!! It helps us to keep track of all the dolls' names and relationships. You've created a wonderful, magical world of characters ❤️

You're welcome.

And you can revisit them any time in Favourite Photos 2025.
