Dolls

I hope your Dad goes out peacefully when it is his time. He has had to go through so much suffering.

You are very welcome my laydee! So when should I mail your early dollie birthday present? If you order your girls tomorrow, when will you get them? I hope you like the stuff...I bought it right after I got Pru in a lot of clothes. Some of it is homemade, but much better than what I could ever make...and some of it was brand new in the package. It is more normal girl stuff, not the old world stuff that I have gravitated towards. The skirt I am sending will be a bit big on your girls, because it is a little big on Pru, but maybe you can make it a low on the hips style skirt and maybe even add some of the stick on velcro to cinch it tighter or something.

So Nat and Cavalie are goners too eh? I guess since her man went she needs to go elsewhere to find another! I am perfectly happy with my 3 as you will be with your 2. They are still fun to look at and change into cute clothes every now and then. Ala looks like she will be a really fun one to have, plus they are really improving the face-ups and are making the bodies heavier so it will be good for you to experience that.

Amie, Bill's owner is still going back and forth about what she is going to buy. She may wind up with Tom's outfit and Bill's striped jacket. She commissioned mEda to make her a black shirt like we have. She wants to buy some of my gothic girl stuff and some of MJ's stock, but I am going to hold onto it for now. Julian does'nt have tons of clothes anymore, so I will keep the remainder of what I have for him

I doubt I will bid again on the wiccan outfit. If I do wind up selling the stuff to her, I will need to buy Mo some decent black and brown shoes to go with her stunning witch dress and adventurer oufit...and that will probably eat up most of the money.

FC I hope your Dad goes peacefully. He seems so sweet.

Luca, I like that first boy doll the best. And yes the breeder of the lab is right . Wait a while to neuter him or he will look like a girly man. But I would neuter him. The less testerone the better.

I am hoping that when the antibiotics arrive and he gets some in him he will at least feel better than he does right now.

One of my cousins and his new wife are going to visit him today. I hope he feels up to company. When Eric went to visit yesterday my dad only talked to him briefly and then told him to go ahead and go so he could rest.

Well, I just ordered my girls! I have to wait for them to send me a Pay-Pal invoice. Lynn says she TRIES to send out orders the same day, but it depends on how many orders come in. Last week she was swamped with Fashion Royalty orders due to a sale. But once she shipped her Rylee was here in just a couple of days. So if she ships the girls today they should be here by Friday for sure.

Luca, that is such a super nice thing to do - sending me some of your extra clothes! If you can think of any Barbie clothes I have that you might want for your Pullip girls just let me know and I will send them to you before I sell them. You can send them when ever you have the time. No rush. I know you have a lot going on getting ready for your new baby to come home!

I got the cutest PM from SugarMag this morning with great big thank yous for selling her Papin. My guess is the problem was getting mom to sit down and do it - or talking her into buying it for her.

I hear ya on holding on to boy clothes. I was anxious for some sales so when I saw that a gal was looking for MJ's stock I just went and offered it to her. That is OK because for some reason I just do not see Clay in all that black leather and chains I took a good long look at Clay this morning and there is NO way I will ever be able to part with him. So I am sticking with my idea of keeping Clay and getting ALa for his mate and selling everyone else. ALa is such a beautiful doll for the pre-sale price. She will make a great match for Clay and being a type 3 she can wear lots of the clothes and shoes I decide to keep, where as poor Nat has just her white boots and 3 Mary Janes They really should have made more shoe options for the type 2s.

Yeah, shoes for the MSD size dolls are so expensive - but what can you do?

I hope that Amie follows through and buys the clothes from you. I am suppose to hear from my MJ's stock buyer today after she gets paid. Why do I have a feeling I will be going through the same thing I did with Miss Sugar?!

It's too bad you can't afford to get that cool dress for Mo but I so understand.

Off to find a wig for Ianna!

What do you think of the name Shyla for Secret?

Hope you have an awesome day!!

EEKK! I got the invoice and have paid for the girls!! I wonder if they will go out today or tomorrow.

Well, I have put Nero, Cavalie and Haute on the Dolly Market. They do not seem to be ones that sell easily, so my guess is I won't be getting a lot of responses very fast. But at least I've thrown them out there. So wish me luck!

Guess WHO just called me on the phone!! MY DAD! He feels better today and called to ask me to go buy him a 6 disc CD player. His only plays one CD and he wants one that plays more without needing to change them out He has not been listening to music much lately and now, today he wants lots of CDs. My dad is one for the books let me tell ya It sure was good to hear his voice on the phone, even though it was a little weak.

THEY ARE ALL SOLD!!!! THEY ARE ALL SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMFG THEY ARE ALL SOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My new Aussie friend bought Cavalie and Haute! $230 for Haute. I sold Cav to her for $65 because I am keeping his stock.

Sadly, even though she has auto "whatever" and her payment yesterday went thru right away, because of the amount it has to go echeck and I have to wait for it to clear. My email from Pay Pal says 5 to 7 days, but maybe sooner. SO as soon as her payment clears I will order by boy from Dollzone!! Can you even freaking believe this??!!! ME!! I am actually getting a freaking Asian Male Ball Joint Freaking Doll!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG!!!PM me with your phone number right now! This deserves some serious celebrating! I must talk to you!

Number sent!!! I'm sitting by the phone!!!

Eeek! You are still up!

Are you sitting down?

*cough, cough* I think your DZ boy will have to be preordered...It does'nt look like any of the American/Canadian dealers have him in stock.

Here is the link to the DZ company site... There are some really cute photos of your boy on here!

This Ebay seller says he has 4 in stock, but then goes on to say it is a preorder and order will be shipped 20 days after payment? Would be worth emailing and asking him the deal maybe? Scratches head.

Good morning!

Thanks for all the links!

I honestly think I am going to go with DDE. They take a deposit for the pre-order and I would really like to do that. I would feel like it will really happen if I have a deposit on him!

I'm going to pass on the ebay one. Too may add ons and no bargain when all added up.

I hate that I will have to wait for him but I am even more sure after seeing all the pix on that site - THANK YOU so much for that! It cemented in my mind that he IS the boy for me!! I love everything about him and his stock!!

Overnight I got a PM from someone who says she will buy Cornice. I sent her my Pay-Pal info and will see what happens. If she buys her - than they are all gone, except Clay.

The lady in Aussie might buy the items I had mEda make for the boys. She wants the Burberry coat for sure. My Cavalie will be her first boy (and you know how special your first boy is ) so she is anxious for some clothes for him! I am awaiting an answer on MJ's stock also. If the one gal flakes on me, I think Jen might want it. If not I will see if your friend Amie (sp?) wants it.

So, I best get going! I have a lot to do today. Hope you have a perfect day!

BTW, talking to you last night was wonderful, and just let me know if you want any of my Barbie stuff for Willow or Gaby. I'll give you whatever you want!

I think that is a good choice to go with Denver Dolls after thinking about it more after we talked last night. Many other people on DOA recommend them. I think my experience was the exception, not the norm. That was cool btw! It was great to finally hear your voice and have a real chat! Your voice reminds me of my first boss after I became a Dietitian. Her name was Margaret and was from the midwest. She was a doll too, just like you!

I am so excited about your first boy choice! I think he will fit in so nicely with the rest of your crew! Too bad you can't get a pet bunny thrown in if you spend 400.00! I think DDE said she has a few pets left... I know I am the devil's advocate are'nt I! You can stab me now!

Thanks so much about the Barbie stuff, but I have tons of stuff and am trying to get rid of some of it as it is!

Have a great day...will check in with you later!

Thanks! I just like the ease of DDE with putting a deposit on the complete set. I am awaiting the Pay-Pal invoice for the deposit. I am so excited! I just wonder how long it will be before they have him? HerRoyalDemonness waited 6 months for her Rumor after her deposit I would be crushed if they told me 6 months

OK, I will try selling bags of Barbie stuff like others have done on Dolly Market. I will wait until all the current orders are shipped out though. I feel overwhelmed right now

Someday a pet!

I am trying to decide on an "M" name for Megi. I have it narrowed down to either Micah or Milo. I know which one Aerwin would pick (who doesn't like Milo from Heros?! )

Funny you think I sound like your old boss! Glad you liked her! I don't know how it sounds on the phone, but on my answering machine I sound like I am a kid I am hoping it is just a crappy answering machine!

You do have a very young voice! You sound like you are in your 20's or 30's!

I would email the DDE people and ask them how long they expect it will take. I would hope no more than 40-50 days....Featherfall had 50 days listed on their website for DZ preorder dolls. I know it seems like forever, but it will be worth the wait. At least you will have your 3 lovely girls to keep you company!

I think he looks like a Milo....

EEEK! It is DONE! DDE sent me an email of receipt of my $60 deposit! They will order him when it is time for them to put in their next order. They said they should have him in 6 weeks and will let me know when they get him. I assume they send me a Pay-Pal invoice for the remaining balance and then ship him off to me!!!!!!!

So it has begun!! I will really get a resin Asian BJD and I can officially be excepted at DOA I would say you cannot imagine how excited I am, but what's cool is that you DO know how excited I am!!

Thanks for saying I sound so young

Well, I managed to get Papin off to Sugarmag123, and Zuora is on her way and one wig is sent.

I was going to send out Nero today, but the young buyer had remorse and wasn't sure if she made a mistake I told her I would throw in some free clothes with the deal. She PM'd me back that I was the nicer seller ever (or a chump) Actually she seems sweet. It is her first full size Pullip, she could only afford one and didn't know if Nero was the right one. It's OK. I put a dress on Papin and Zuora anyway and I have more clothes than I know what to do with.

My Aussie friend who is buying 3 dolls and a bunch of clothes and wigs, is sending me a book about Aussie Speak We've been talking up a storm in PM's and she uses cute Aussie phrases and I try to through in some I have heard before. So she bought me a book of their expressions and other stuff and is sending it to me! Too cute!

She has a daughter named Angel who is getting married in 3 weeks. Day before yesterday they picked up her daughter's $3,000 wedding gown and the next day the shop burned to the ground with all the brides gowns destroyed They were not suppose to pick up the dress until Friday but it was done early and her daughter was too excited to wait! Good thing!

She seems like a lovely lady!

My dad is really, really bad today I mean oh my goodness. I just don't know how much longer this could possibly go on. I did get him set up with a CD player. It is close to him with a remote. I taught my mom how to work it. I even wrote it down with illustrations! He was listening to his fave CD when I left him. He is so so weak. Can barely move his arm. I am hoping the antibiotics help him at least feel a little better.

Gotta run! Talk later!

Ahhh! You are such a wonderful daughter getting him the CD player for him! I am curious what music he likes and was listening to when you left.

Yes, I do know how excited you are about Milo!!!! I was afraid it would be 6 weeks after seeing it over at Featherfall. How cool you can actually post photos of your boy publically when you get him!!!!!!

You are such a super dollie seller my laydee! You can even turn around buyers remorse in teenagers!

How fun and cool about your Aussie friend! She sounds really nice! What a close call on her daughter's dress!

TTYL! Back to work!

Yeah, I'm a good seller. She couldn't afford to buy a wig yet. So she was getting Nero with her stock, but she would be bald. I decided there was no way she was going to fall in love with Nero in that dress BALD So I am going to put her in that short curly wig I bought from you. I won't be needing it and it has had a lot of owners, so what the heck. I bought new lashes for her today too and will put them on her when I put the wig and clothes on. I just want her to love Nero the way I did.

My dad was listening to The Greatest Hits CD of Julio Iglesias. When I was walking out that song he did with Willie Nelson was on "To All The Girls I've Loved Before". I really don't like either of those singers or that song, but my dad LOVES both of those singers Could they BE more different?!! My dad loves Julio the best, loves Clay and has all his CDs, loves Willie, John Fogerty, Neil Diamond, classical and piano. The Backstreet Boys - I made him that CD back when they were big , also piano music.

My Aussie friend likes the name Milo too! So Milo it is!! I was leaning more toward that one than Micah anyway. I mean seriously Luca, is he not going to be just beautiful??!! It will be the longest 6 weeks of my life, but I think that puts him coming pretty close to my birthday - so maybe that is the way it was meant to be In the mean time I need to find shoes for my new girls!!! And yes, they will keep me content until Milo gets here! But clearly he will be my greatest doll excitment. This is really a huge issue for me because I didn't really think I would ever really do this! It was always just a fantasy.

Back to packing up stuff!

I just had to bring these pix here so I can stare at them *sigh* I cannot even believe that this boy is going to be mine! In my house! I so love him just from the pix!



Just look at him... gah!



How do I make 6 weeks go by fast???

When I got Valerian it was one of my most exciting doll moments. I love Malekai too, but taking Val out of his box and looking at the detail and artistry of his face-up and sculpt, the weight and smooth finish of the resin, and the quality of the clothes and shoes...just priceless! I so can't wait for you to experience that too!Dollzone dolls are really works of art.
I am also a huge fan now of dollfactory dolls too. How perfect Milo will come so close to your birthday! It must be near the 3rd week of April...

I got the cutest boots from an Ebay seller I want to turn you on to today!I will take some photos this weekend. Really great quality! Did you measure your girls foot yet?The gal from DOA sent my order yesterday so I am hoping I get it this weekend!

I wish I could find the perfect black and brown shoes now! Eeek the finale of Project runway is coming on.....gotta run!

I adore those photos of milo. Did they ask you what skin tone you wanted when you placed your order?

I promise I will keep you company over the longest 6 weeks of your life!

When you go to put the doll "in your cart" you select your skin tone. I went with normal. Then it asks for either "full payment" or "deposit" and I did the deposit.

My birthday is April 10th, so no, Milo won't be here in time, but shortly after. So a "belated" gift to me

I have not measured Rylee's feet yet. I still have two packages to wrap up and get out tomorrow. Friday I plan to measure her feet and order some shoes for them. I hope to get some pix of Rylee in the Burgundy wig Friday too. Who knows, maybe Ianna and Shyla will be here Friday! My 3rd wig should be here soon too.

I'm watching Men In Trees - but I need to get in the shower soon!

BTW, Guess what Justin did today. He took the packages to the post office for me at 4:30 (they close at 5:00) because I was so busy with my folks and laundry and stuff. So I told him to send the packages Priority Mail and Insured. Then as he was going on the door I said "Wait, take this and get postage on it". It was a large padded mailer envelope with a wig in it that a girl bought. SOOO he gets to the P.O and tell the worker to send them all "Priority and insured" EVEN THE MAILER!! I paid $6.25 to send a wig I got $11 for Ah, kids! Gotta love 'em! I couldn't get upset with him. He does so many favors for me But I bet the wig buyer will think I am nuts sending one little wig that way


ETA: It was so cute, when Justin got in from being out with his friends he walked into my room with my fave cookies from The Jewel Bake Shop and said "this is because I screwed up the postage thing" so freaking sweet. We sat an ate a cookie together

So I just re-read my email. It verified the shin tone, so that is cool, and I realized it said 6 weeks from the day they put in their next order I wonder when they will place their next order?? Then the wait from the day DDE ships him. Could be 8 weeks total I will never make it

Most sellers of the hot DZ dolls put in orders every two weeks. I wonder when her last order went in...does'nt hurt to ask! I can't even remember how long my DZ order took to come, but it really did seem like forever. I think it was about 8 weeks...You would think after the Christmas rush, they would be more caught up and a bit faster with orders.

Justin sounds like such a sweetie! Are'nt you glad you have teenage boys vs. girls? I always wanted a boy, girl- not so much.

The new boots were a bitch to put on... but are the cutest things ever!
They are convertable boots that can be short or tall, you just lace up the top piece and snap some leather bands around the legs. It took me at least 45 minutes to get them on! I cut myself too with some sharp sewing scissors. But, i am in much better shape than my poor hubby. We had the concrete poured for the dog run and his knees are all scraped up. I guess he had knee pads, but they got wet and rubbed some of the skin off his knees. Poor baby. He is so tired now, he is passed out on the couch. He worked all day today on that project.

Of course I like the name Milo!
LUca I cannot wait for you to get your puppy!! I am taking my dog to the Scottish games this weekend we are doing a demo working the sheep.

I need some advice. I am not very experienced with ebay but I bought some nail polish in a color that was discontinued. Well i got the polish and it is NOT the correct color in the bottle. I know because I still have some left of the old. I contacted the seller but nothing. I am not happy.

Oh no Luca! 45 mins. to put on the boots!! That is scary! I think I may have to order Goodreau shoes at first. I would freak out at that, worrying about breaking a foot or ankle Rylee's white boots zip all the way down the back and were easy to put on

So sorry that hubby got hurt What a sweet man to go thru all that for Cole! I'm with Aerwin, can't wait until he gets home!

Were you happy with the Project Runway Winner?

Aerwin, glad you like the name Good luck at the Scottish Games! How fun does that sound!!

Aerwin, I have been incredibly lucky with eBay! Once a seller sent the wrong shade of eyeshadow. I notified her and she sent out the right shade right away at no charge so I got them both for the price of one. AND the shade she sent in the first place was one I liked, just didn't need at the time. Once I got a ring that I didn't think was as nice as the pix made it look. I emailed him and he said send it back. He refunded me the full price PLUS my return shipping! Most of the sellers are good.

Does the bottle say it is the shade you ordered? Because if it does I don't think he can be held responsible. It could be it is old and discolored since it is discontinued. If he sent completely wrong shade and the bottle has a different name then I would contact him again for a refund/return. If he ignores your emails then I would leave negative feedback.

I am sorry that that happened. Trust Ebay is amazing MOST of the time! I don't know what I would do without it! You would not believe all the wonderful things I have gotten through Ebay!

Gotta run! Have a great day ladies!

Hey Luca, did you want Butler's Stock? My Aussie lady doesn't like the "costume" like stock. I was thinking of what clothes I would advertise (the girl wanting MJ's has asked for a few more days until her disability check comes through ) so I was debating if I wanted to keep Butler's stock (since I got it for Flynn and he is gone). If you want it you can have it! Just let me know!

Oo-o! I would love to have Butler's stock! Mr. Style King Julian will rock it!
Thanks my laydee! You are so sweet! But, would'nt Clay look good in that? Especially with his new lady? If you have second thoughts about it-just keep it! But, if not....I'll take it!

Aerwin, the Scottish games sounds like a blast!!!!! Please take pictures!
Can't wait to hear all about it! yes, I will be posting photos over in the animal section of Mr. Cole's home coming! I think Ancha my Rott is going to love him to pieces...she is the sweetest Rott in the world.

FC, the only reason the boots were hard to get on was that the top pieces had to be laced with a long piece of string put through little tiny holes. But, now that that is done, I won't have to do it again! The boots were 15.00 + shipping and are very high quality and unique...can't wait to show you! Mohana really likes that wig you sold me too!

I loved all the final 3 designers. I thought Rami's clothes were so stylish, classic, and wearable. And Jillian's clothes were also very wearable and exquisite. I did agree with the judges that her collection was not that cohesive. I would not wear many of Christian, the winner's clothes, but do think he is the most talented designer for couture clothing. Amazing and funny little guy that is a true prodigy at 21 years old... He cried too.
