Unlike Sylvanian Family and Lundby houses, Melissa & Doug dollhouses aren’t wired. This means getting light inside is a problem.

Of course, this means positioning the Pinky closer to the open area of the house, where there is more light. Great thing about this, of course, is that they’d look as if the room is the perfect scale for them! At 1:12, the room is comfortable for the Pinky’s height, but it still looks rather odd, specially when placed near household fixtures.

I was starting to get bored after checking out what Pocketful of Kids have in their toy village, when the crew came out of one of the rooms with this gorgeous Victoria Dollhouse from Melissa and Doug. The scale is 1:12 — big for Pinkies, but that doesn’t stop me from posing them inside!

To vote, simply follow these instructions:

This year’s voting is quite different from last year’s. In order for us to accurately tally the bloggers who voted, we jazzed up the voting a bit and made it more exciting.

To vote, you MUST be a Filipino blogger, which means, you need to own a blog. You might be blogging on Blogger, Wordpress.Com, Live Journal, Friendster, Multiply, or on a self-hosted
blog—it doesn’t matter—the point is, you need to have a blog to vote. Your blog must be established at least three (3) months from today with a minimum of 10 posts.

Why? Well, read on for the instructions on how to vote for your favorite Bloggers’ Choice Award nominee!

• Choose only ONE (1) blog from the list of official Bloggers’ Choice Award nominees above. On your blog, tell us why you voted for the nominee. Yes, you can vote for your own blog. And no, you cannot vote for a blog that is not on the list of official Bloggers’ Choice Award nominees.

• Make sure that the links to the websites of the 2008 Philippine Blog Awards sponsors are included in your post. You MUST include the sponsor links to validate your vote.

Heinji and I bought a bunch of Pinkies and Pinky-sized accessories with us to our picnic at the La Mesa Ecopark. After our delicious lunch of adobo packed bento style, we set up our dolls for a mini photoshoot.

When the Series 6 Pinkies were due to come out, Vance Project described Mikimiki as Maki’s rival. It’s easy to see why — both look like fashionistas and both have Queen Bee written all over them. They seem to find a common ground though… gossip!

Heinji’s Maki and Mikimiki are seen here sharing this very comfortable and very pink comforter from the Wanju Modern Bedroom set.
