Hi!! It's been so long...

Dec 16, 2022

    1. Hello there!!

      It has been such a long time since I left the hobbie, like ten years ago, that I think I should introduce myself!

      I have collected dolls since I was a child but I got my first Bjd in 2003. She was a MSD Sinsiya which I don't own anymore.

      I can consider myself as a newbie because a lot of things have changed along the last ten years. The fact is that I feel a little lost at the moment!

      I own four SD sized dolls, two old minifees and some DDs, but I want to reestructure my doll family.

      Thank you very much for reading my introduction :) Have a great day!!!

    4. Hi! Welcome back to the hobby. :) I had a good 6-7 year hiatus while I moved around. I got back about two years ago and I totally understand how you feel. So much has changed and a lot of old companies I used to like have gone out of business. :( Luckily it seems the community is still thriving so there's plenty to do and see.

      Are there any dolls you're currently looking at?
       
    5. Welcome back, @erzsebeth ! So glad to see you here again. Your CH Choa still resides with me, beautiful as ever, and she sends her greetings :whee:
      There is also my Happydoll Lucy from Hybrid Moon who says Hi!^^
      I hope you'll enjoy re-acquainting yourself with everything that's new. It is a lot and it can be confusing, but don't hesitate to ask if you need help.

    11. Hey! Welcome back! I know the feels! I had a good 6-7 years outside of the hobby and just got back into it a year ago (like literally last december). Spent most of this year realizing all of my taste in dolls have changed and adding/pruning my collection.

      It's an adventure and a little overwhelming as everything in the hobby seems to have shifted and changed *so much*. Art dolls are more prevalent, instagram seems to be the driving force behind the hobby followed by discord servers being used as most of the 'chatter'. It's wild!

      I hope you enjoy every moment of rediscovery! :chibi
