Hobby Search Japan are a reliable retailer of all things dolly related, stocking almost every single thing you can think of for your doll family.

We've ordered from them a number of times ourselves, and have been very happy with the speedy delivery and excellent service.

What's more, they have a list of items that are coming up for release, and allow you to reserve in advance, so you won't miss out!

HSJ also stock a number of hard to find items, or rarer things that seem to sell at silly prices on eBay.

Please give them a try, we have!

Are your dollies wondering what to have for dinner? Do they need some more pots and pans for their amazing dream Deluxe Reading Kitchen set?

Well, look no more! This is such a cute set from ReMent, those amazing miniature makers from Japan!

Don't let your girls cut themselves on those amazingly sharp knives!

When I was in Japan in March, I fell in love with bento (meaning "lunch") all over again. When you catch the Shinkansen (bullet train), you can purchase bento from the lady who brings the cart around, or at the station platform from a number of little kiosks.

Many people take their lunch to work or school, so bento boxes have been designed in various shapes and sizes.

With the Japanese knack for making everything functional and cute, bento are a great idea for your kids school lunches, or just to make it fun to take your lunch to work.

These are a few of my favourites available from the ever-reliable JList.

Hello Kitty Bento just $9.50

If your Blythe family is anything like mine, they demand the latest in kitchen equipment (when they're not demanding the rarest of vintage items).

The Kawaii Kitchen Set from ReMent has everything your dollies desire, from the most beautiful Italian espresso machine, to Russian-styled babushka spoon holder, the finest bottled mountain mineral water, to the perfect set of flour canisters.



I really love this set, and I'm pretty sure you will too.

Available now from JList, for a mere USD$35.00 for the ENTIRE set! WOO!

A beautiful new dress set for NEO Blythes!

The dress set "Fall Whisper" is a retro theme dress set the nostalgic theme of fall.
A colorful embroidery on the skirt and the red coat with a bright yellow stitches give this dress set a distinctive "Pop" look!
This dress set will get your Blythe ready for crisp fall air and fun times.
This time a famous doll artist "Aketsun!" designed for this very first CWC Limited dress set!
"Aketsun!" entered the 1st Blythe Beauty Contest and won second runner-up.
The image of her styling doll was used for the CWC original stationery and received a favorable review.
You would probably recognize the image of the doll by its colorful and dreamy design.
"Aketsun!" has also been participating a lot of Blythe events such as Junie Moon's "Variety Fair" and charity anniversary events.
She is a big fan of Blythe, and is devoting herself to her Neo and Petite collection.
Please look forward to the final design!

A friend of Mrs Retro Mom, MSR is a rather pretty new fantasy hair girl. Her dress is to die for!
"Miss Sally Rice" also has a retro look.
There is a Showa-style black cat applique on her red dress.
She has a different look when she takes off the white collar and wears her pink blouse under her dress.
Her face type is Radiance, and she has a vintage-like skin tone that is a bit fairer than Mrs. Retro Mama's.

Arriving in August, this gorgeous girl in a beret, tartan and a little doggie!
