I joined a year ago - just got the 1 year anniversary trophy this week - but I kept forgetting to post an intro out of laziness. I went from barely pressing the button to buy my first doll second hand on Mercari to owning nearly 20 dolls in 2 years time. Currently, I am going through a major overhaul and picking out the things that are actually being used and dolls I’m actually fond of/playing with. I just started attending doll meet ups and went to my first doll convention in Portland! I truly love this hobby and I’m excited to meet new friends. Honestly, I need more doll friends, especially to help stop me from impulsively buying dolls.
Welcome to the fun! I was at that convention too Looking forward to seeing what you do with your current collection!
Hello and welcome to DoA! It happens, going from no doll to just one doll and then BAM...you got an entire dolly family to tend to. Hahahaha. And it is wonderful to hear that you have been to dolly meet-ups and a dolly convention! So fun!
Welcome! Sounds about like the speed of my progress, haha! There's a thread somewhere on the forum where people hang out and chat while committing to not buying more dolls for whatever length of time each person has set, if you'd like a community of encouragement that doesn't just say, "If you can afford it, buy the doll". I should probably find it again...
Welcome!! It's great to see such enthusiasm, 20 dolls is a huge fam. Do you have a type you like or do you have a variety ?
hi!! how was the convention and meet ups? i've never attended either, so i would love to hear about your experiences!
It was super cool! A lot of vendors I’ve never heard of and some from outside the country too. I spent a lot of money there hehe I didn’t have time to attend any of the panels about dolls, but next time I’ll make more of an effort. I highly recommend it because you get to see a lot dolls.
