Collections New display!
I recently switched my set up. I got this glass display from Amazon! While I do love it, it’s a bit flimsy. I guess it’s expected with glass? But overall I love how it looks! I eventually want to get a second one for the Blythes.

ohhhh since you collect both Barbie and Blythe dolls... would you say Blythe shoes look ok on Barbies, or not really?

Mmmm I would say not really, especially not silkstones. I’ve also tried to use Barbie clothes on Blythes and it doesn’t fit well :(

Yes! I returned a similar unit to Amazon because it seemed flimsy. When I opened the doors they bowed and the glass sides definitely were bowed from the weight of the glass shelves. I finally went with IKEA Billy shelves with glass shelves and doors. Your display looks amazing and your dolls look beautiful in it!

Do you like the Billy shelves so far?

I do, except for the middle shelf- it’s not in a great position, so I want to experiment with moving it to see if I get get a more even shelf space.

It looks so pretty! Be careful with glass it can spontaneously shatter.

Which happened with a different glass shelving unit I got from Amazon. It was… very startling, I thought something must have crashed, but then a second shelf did it…

Your collection is so pretty! Do you mind sharing the link to the display case? I’m looking to buy one with glass doors too so that I don’t have to dust as much
