everyone has the grail that slipped through their fingers —

we all know that shape of wanting something just out of reach.

I think I’m still learning that scarcity doesn’t only define what we miss,

but how we find our way back through other people, other paths, other opportunities.

it isn’t always the first way you imagined.

sometimes it arrives sideways. sometimes it arrives late. sometimes it arrives through someone else’s hands entirely.

and maybe what we’re actually building here
isn’t just a collection —

it’s a network of people who understand what it means to want something scarce

and still choose to handle that wanting with care.

sincerely yours, cheery cherub xx

After a long stretch of ennui towards doll collecting, I’ve found myself circling back to Monster High in a really intentional way. 🩷🖤

Meet a new favorite in my collection: a white elastics Signature Draculaura. She came to me from Canada — with only her shoes and a torn vest — and I reassembled her back into her iconic Draculaura form. 🎀🦇

There’s something about these older releases that feels like re-opening a creative door still begging to be explored. 🚪✨

I’ve also recently started trading Monster High dolls and accessories with other collectors for the first time. It’s been unexpectedly meaningful to see how much life there still is in these pieces when they move between people who care about them. I’m excited to keep exploring more trades this year and seeing where that leads.

See my ISO list (in this carousel) if you’re interested in trading or keeping an eye out! 🤝💌

At the same time, I’ve been downsizing my doll collection and focusing on restoring select dolls rather than keeping everything. It’s become less about feverishly hoarding and more about curation, repair, and story.

If you’re looking for my sales, restorations, or available pieces, my Mercari and eBay listings are linked through my Linktree under “Secondhand Story.” ♻️🧸

I also want to get back into customizing again — experimenting, reworking, and returning to the kind of creative problem-solving that originally pulled me into OOAK work. I’ve been quietly dreaming up new dolls in the background, and I’m ready to start making them real again. 🎨💭

More to come as I rebuild this part of my practice.

During my trip to Japan, I resolved to buy either a Neo Blythe or Pullip doll... In the United States, it's difficult to find legitimate Blythe dolls or any Pullip dolls! Because I saw TONS of cute dolls, I struggled to choose. (Scroll through the photos to see which I ended up adopting!) 🎌

Stepping into Akihabara, or simply "Akiba," immerses you in vibrant streets filled with affordable manga and anime merchandise, and dolls of course! Visit Akihabara Electric Town for an exciting array of game centers, budget tech, trading cards, and lots of fun!

Shibuya is like the ultimate game of Frogger, where seven roads collide in a spectacular dance of red lights, sending tidal waves of pedestrians surging across the street all at once! This lively hotspot is the hub of youth culture and a fashion runway where trendsetters strut their stuff.

Visiting Japan for the first time was an amazing experience! If you can make the trip, I can't encourage you enough.

During my break from doll customization, I made an embroidered teddy bear! 🧸 It was a baby shower gift and I made its little suspender shorts too 😇🩳

I’ve been staying crafty, of course 🤗🪡 (Plush pattern: Gingermelon’s Embroidered Animals)

Hello! 🌸 Long time no see! ⭐️ It’s been hectic-crazy-busy and I stopped customizing dolls for a while 😭

I’m *B*A*C*K* with my magical cat clown project on this third-try pastel clown romper 🎪 See the pink polka dot second-attempt with frayed edges and all! 🤪

If it’s not perfect, it’s practice~ 🪡

See my IG Stories for a refresher of this project! 💖💚

Current progress on my ☀️ I really don’t mind taking my time with a face up but…

I DO mind the cold spring snaps—It’s the crazy weather that keeps me checking the humidity nonstop! 🌦🥶

Slowly making progress on my 🌤 Mental health challenges come and go, but some linger longer! ⛈ This one has been a doozy, but I’m excited to continue this as a Kurdish YPJ freedom fighter~ ☀️❤️🤍💚☀️
