This week we're delighted to welcome back Monika, who first joined us way back in Season 3!
As part of our Podcast Postcard series, Monika takes us on a trip to Osaka, Japan, where she recently vended at the incredible iDoll event. She shares what it's really like to be behind the vendor table, introduces us to her brand-new creation, Minty the Doll, and gives us a glimpse into the excitement of bringing a new doll to the collecting community.
If you've ever wondered what it's like to attend an event like iDoll, Monika paints the perfect picture—from rows upon rows of talented artists and makers to tables overflowing with beautiful dolls, outfits, accessories, and irresistible treasures. Whether you're dreaming of visiting Japan's doll events or simply love hearing about the global Blythe community, this is an episode you won't want to miss!
As always, we wrap up the episode with our usual chit-chat, catching up on the latest Blythe releases and all the dolly news from around the community.
