Dolls

Very cool that you got the walking cane!! It will be perfect for Val!!

The loveseat is gorgeous!! No, I do not think you paid too much! I still have the links to that seller and if I decide not to try and get another male BJD next Xmas I am going to get some Victorian furniture for my gang. It will go perfect with the wallpaper in my office. I would like the option of changing form the white wicker spring/summer outdoorsy theme to a nice cozy winter theme with the Victorian furniture!

So, all that said - who will Val be making-out with on the loveseat? Pru or Mo???

Pru, definitely Pru...Mo and Val don't quite look right together. I think I will have to get an elf boy for her someday.

Yes, an we need an elf boy in our family

Won't an elf couple be just the coolest thing?!

Eric took your little white box to the P.O. at 3:00 this afternoon before his 3:30 class. It went First Class so I hope it doesn't take too long to get to you! Be sure and let me know when you get it and if you like any of the colors!

Eeek! Thank you so very much my laydee! My new Spring/summer make-up palette is going to be so much fun!

You are very welcome! I just hope you like and can wear a lot of them.

So, do you have pix of some of the elf boys you have your eye on?

I have'nt found the right one yet in the MSD size that I want. I have found some gorgeous SD size boys, but they are waaaaay out of my price range!

I have been keeping my eyes open for used dolls, but luckily none have come up that are right. Some of the elves look really kid like. Mo is one of the few adult looking types I have seen in the MSD size and that is what I so like about her...and she is a little evil!

That's cool that there are used dolls out there to buy! I hope one shows up for you. I can say with 100% that I would not want an SD. Just too big, expensive, and way to expensive to dress!

Too bad the company that makes Mo doesn't make males too!

Hi!

I hope you had a great day! I went to my folks today and spent several hours there. I didn't have much time for posting this morning to wish you a happy day! My Dad was pretty alert today and we had a nice chat. His arms are so bad that they are completely wrapped up now like he has two broken arms Mom got him in his wheelchair yesterday and took him out in back for some fresh air. He only lasted outside about 15 and felt too cold. Mom brought him in and tried to get him out of the wheelchair and back into his bed but she couldn't do it and he ended up falling to the floor Then she struggled a long time to get him up but ended up calling the fire department for help. Then when the firemen got there and saw his arms they asked my mom if she was beating him. She had to sign a bunch of papers. So Dad told me today he does not plan to go out again for awhile.

When I got home my pearl necklace was here - it is super pretty! My new minerals were here from Sweetscents! She sent 3 free samples this time - various pinks for lips and blush. AND Milo's red Dollzone boots arrived from Featherfall! They are just awesome! They are so big I hope they fit under his black pants So everything I have ordered for Milo is now here. Just waiting on him! It has to be soon right?!

Yes, that is the story and we are sticking with it! He will be here very soon!

Sorry about your Dad's mishap going outside today, I know your Mom means well...maybe he can enjoy the fresh air by openning the window from now on.

I finally got Jules' new vampire wig so I dressed him up and took a few shots right before dusk. Gah he is photogenic if I do say so myself! I also...*cough, cough* painted Willow's lips a brown/berry color and I am quite pleased with the result. Just can't decide to leave them matte or gloss them up. I sure love Butler's stock on him, I really can't thank you enough for it! *smooches*


Eeek, I see you have seen the new shots already!

Yes I have! You are so very welcome for Butler's stock! Jules looks amazing in it!

I love Willow's lips and as you know, I voted for gloss! I am all about lip gloss!

Yes, SOON! please baby jesus

ETA: Shana posted that she is suppose to be getting ALa on the 18th! She may be on her way home next week! Clay will not be alone anymore!!!!

Eeek! Ala will be coming home soon! She is one spectacular Pullip! I am excited about you getting her! I am glad I still enjoy having my few.

Yes, I will be glossing those lips soon...I am a little hesitant because it may take some of the paint off, but I will see what happens. Willow looks a little like the eskimo/goth Pullip which I have always wanted...only better!

Yes, she is prettier than Chill - but I always liked Chill too.

I'm excited about Aletta coming home too! Not just for Clay, but it will be fun having a Pullip to wear the box of clothes that never sold!

I must get my big butt to bed!

Talk to you tomorrow! Sleep well my friend!

Hello honey I'm home! No time this morning to check in until now!

I am thinking some arrival photos of Megli should be arriving very soon...I must go see if there are any today!

Will be back with the goods hopefully!

Hi!

Hope you had a great day!

Oh, I so hope that you find some photos! I am dying to see more! If I don't hear from DDE next week I will try emailing them to see if they can give me some idea when he might get home to me. At least there is a good chance of Aletta getting home next week - if Shana gets her order in tomorrow like she is suppose to. Being that we are both in Illinois hopefully that means fast shipping to me!

Well, yesterday the pearl necklace arrived and today my gorgeous mystic fire topaz and diamond necklace arrived! It is gorgeous!! We have a wedding to go to in June and I will be planning my outfit around that beautiful necklace!

I finally got that mint green hankie dress. Took almost a month. The woman said her mom died suddenly and she had to go out of state to settle everything. It is cute. Very summery. Pretty pattern.

Your new jewelry sounds awesome! I think cool jewelry really adds to an outfit and gets noticed which is really fun.

So who gets the new outfit?

Well, I really scored some of the most adorable megli shots I have found so far...i think he is the old mold, but so adorable nonetheless! Don't you agree? Is that wig similar to the one you ordered for him? If so he is going to look so fab in it! Enjoy my laydee!





Sorry it took me so long! I won't be around much tomorrow either. We are going to Seattle for an appointment...

Have a great day tomorrow! TGIF!

Yes, TGIF! I'm off today - but I am reorganizing my walk-in bedroom closet. Time to fold up the winter sweaters and put them on the high shelf and get all the spring/summer clothes in place. We will be in the 70s next week!! Spring has finally sprung!

Did you hear we had a 5.4 earthquake here at 4.37 AM this morning? Skyscrapers in the Chicago Loop swayed!

Those pix of Meigi are gorgeous! No, the brown CanCan wig is not going to be that long on Milo. Close in color and style, but Milo's is shorter. Stunning scenery in those photos! What a gorgeous day that doll owner had that day!

The new dress is for Ianna. Not sure when I will change her into it. I might wait and get those mint green shoes to match it.

Yes, it is nice to have really pretty pieces of jewelry to accent your outfits. I haven't bought any type of jewelry since I started making my own bracelets and earrings. Oh, I am making my MIL some earrings today! She has been looking for something with white beads and hasn't been able to find what she wants so I am making her a few pair - each a little different. THAT is why I started making my own earrings. I wanted earrings to watch all my outfits and it was best to just get the beads and make my own. So anyway, yes - it was exciting to get too nice pieces this week. BUT, I am just as excited about the new shoes!! (god I love shoes) Both pair should be here Monday.

Here is the Mystic Fire Topaz necklace! Above the topaz are 5 little diamonds. It matches my mystic fire topaz ring perfectly! Now I just need the matching earrings!



Hope you have a great day in Seattle! Talk to you tonight!

EEEK! I just got an email from Mike and they have shipped Aletta! Wait until I tell Clay his mail order bride is on her way!!!!!!

Eeek! You may get her tomorrow! You have been known to get super fast arrivals from Shana and Mike!!!!!!I am so excited about Aletta!

That Mystic Fire topaz is to die for! I have never seen anything quite like it! That is really a show stopper!

Glad you liked the photos of Meigi (Megli?), I thought they were really nice and really showcased what a lovely mold his face is. Gah, you are going to go into orbit when you get him!

I had not heard there was an earthquake in Chicago today. WTF?

I am so tired of sitting after being in the car all day...I must go move around and stretch. Will be back to chat some more later!

Thanks! The mystic fire topaz and the twilight topaz are my fave gems next to diamonds. I have a twilight topaz and diamond ring and a twilight topaz bracelet. Both were Xmas presents from my hubby a couple of years ago.

Here is a good shot of a twilight topaz ring. It is really a gorgeous stone!

Twilight Topaz ring

I don't know if Aletta will come tomorrow. I got the email later in the afternoon so I am not sure if she shipped in the morning or later in the day. It's possible, but my guess is Monday. Same day as my shoes!!

Yes, that Meigi mold is beautiful! I bet my hands will be shaking when I open Milo's box!

Yep, there was an earthquake at about 4:30 AM. Only Justin woke up. The rest of us slept through it. Justin and I woke up when we had one in 2004 at 2:30 AM. Dymphna wrote to me via PS to ask if fall was OK. I feel bummed I slept through it. So many people in several states felt it. I guess I was in a real deep sleep - maybe dreaming of dolls! (or David Cook

Hope your trip to Seattle was fun!

Did the earthquake cause any damage? I did'nt realize you were int eh earthquake zone! We will have to call my husband's sister tomorrow to see what her experience was with it. She lives near you.... That was nice of dymphna to PM.

I bought a special edition Sweeney Todd wig for Willow tonight...It was ridiculously expensive...but I just had to have it. I am so glad my interest in Pullips is renewed...they are fun.

We had a quick trip over and back to Seattle today. There is bad weather predicted on the pass tonight and this weekend so we took care of business and headed back as soon as we could. We did stop at Trader Joe's though and stocked up on all kinds of good stuff.

That twilight topaz ring is so cool! My birthstone is topaz...I think I better start dropping the birthday hints for one now!

An earthquake in Chicago? Whoa. That ring is gorgeous. My birthday is amethyst. I think I am going to ask for one for Mother's Day. You just gave me a great idea.

A ST wig? I cannot wait!!

Ladies, the twilight topaz stone is gorgeous!!! Pink, yellow, orange, the colors change with the light! It is one of my fave rings and I were it a lot! Kohls had a huge deal on the matching bracelet when Rob got it for me. When I first saw it and fell in love with it it was $450.00! Months later they had one of those big one day sales - 75% off! I yelled "ROB!!!!!!!!!!!" and he got it for me The mystic fire stone is mostly purple with green and pink as it moves in the light. I also have a mango topaz which is smokey topaz mixed with green and yellow. You really need to find a jeweler who sells them and check them all out! There actually are several more unusual colors of topazes out there of blues and pinks. Maybe I can find a good site on ebay with all the different ones. If you watch for sales you can get the rings at a good price. The bracelets do tend to be costly because of all the stones. I hope you guys get the twilight topaz rings. You will not be sorry. With all the colors in the twilight it goes with so many outfits! I LOVE the mystic fire because you mostly see deep purple, pink, blue and green - my fave colors! And again it goes with so many outfits. I have one mystic fire ring in a white gold setting and two in gold.

I want to see thw ST wig!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, Dymphna mentioned the snow storm because she was keeping an eye on it as her kids go to school in the higher elevation than where they live and she was worried. I just saw on The Weather Channel that Seattle is expecting more snow today!

There was some damage to central Illinois. Chicago felt it and it shook things and building supposed swayed down town, but no damage or injuries. Some stores in central Illinois had things fell off shelves. The epicenter of the quake was 200 miles from Chicago, but several states felt it. Actually one of the biggest fault lines is in the St. Louis area and one of the worst ever earthquakes happened there. For all the talk about California having a major quake, the mid-west is actually at a risk of a much worse quake. We just hope that it never happens. So no, we do not get many, but they do happen every now and then. It was big news here yesterday because it was a 5.2.

Hope you all have a beautiful Saturday!!

ETA: OK, I just check around that seller's site and he has many colors of the topazes. I cannot believe what some to the items went for!! Like that ring up there! So much cheaper than the department stores or jewelry stores. I have my eye on some earrings in both the mystic and twilight! He also has some gorgeous pendents! He has excellent feedback too. I think I may have just found my fave ebay topaz seller!

AETA: I just tracked Aletta and she arrived at the Yorkville PO at 8:38 this morning. So she will probably get to the Sugar Grove PO sometime today and then home to me on Monday!

I seriously need one of those topaz rings...but a necklace would be nice too! I am not a huge bracelet fan...they bug me.

My sister-in-law that lives near Champagne, said she and her hubby woke up because their bed was shaking at 4:30 AM too! She said they had an aftershock today too while she was sitting at her desk.

Here is the link to the Helene wig from JPOP...It is actually too reddish brown and not messy enough, but the color and style will look perfect on
my gothic, inspired Willow.
http://www.jpopdolls.net/helene.html

This was a SD Mrs. Lovett custom that went for 800.00-900.00 I think...I thought she was great!


Some Marvelous Sweeney Todd inspired dolls I have come accross:


I think I showed that incredible ST Minimee doll that was on Ebay a while ago...he was incredible too.

I can't wait for the minimee Helena Bonham Carter mold to be released and see what shows up on the market. I may have to buy a head if one comes available. I find her fascinating and would love to have a Mrs. Lovett doll someday. In the meantime I will have my Willow that will take on some of her characteristics...

I can't believe Aletta will be home on Monday! How exciting!

How did you miss the huge "SHE IS HOME!" post??

She is here! I finally got her out of her trappings! She is awesome! I will take pix in a little while. I need to get a few things done first.

The wig is awesome! Willow will look amazing!

Love both of the ST dolls! Now THAT would be a fun collection to have!

Off to make Justin some lunch!

TTYL!

Oh, I really hope you get one of the topaz rings! You will just love the stones!

So, you do not like to wear bracelets? I guess you never wear the one I sent you then I can make you some earrings then.


ETA:

She is gorgeous!! I love her!







I'll take some good ones next week. Rob and I will be gone most of tomorrow and I am going to my folks on Monday. So probably Tuesday I'll try to get some good ones!
