Dolls

My gorgeous Alice in Wonderland!

Eeek! He is adorable beyond words!!!! He just has attitude plus does'nt he!
That first shot is my all time fav of him! His stock is so great with all the little details and all. His glasses fit him perfectly too!

It is so nice to see him once and for all in all his glory! Looks like you have great light today. Thanks for sharing!

Well, I have a ring up for sale on Ebay...it is my first wedding ring. A very small, but nice diamond on a plain, skinny, gold band. I scanned the appraisal for 800.00 and started the bids at 19.99 with no reserve since that seems to get more people to look. I have a buy it now for 499.00, but doubt anyone would touch that. I will be happy if I get anything over 150.00. I will be estatic if I get 300.00. Realistically? I won't be surprized if I don't get a single bid. There is so much competition on Estate Sale diamonds. Hopefully, having the low starting price and an appraisal won't hurt. I got a really good photo of a close-up of the ring too which I am proud of. Jewelery is almost as hard to photograph as dolls!

OMG!!!
Gorgeous is right!!!!!!That outfit and wig....just stunning!
She makes the perfect Alice!!!!! Those are really good photos too! I am so impressed!

Again the first shot is my fav of that group! That pretty cup to her right really adds to the composition!

There is a group called "Wonderland Dolls" that is on flickr that has just photos of Alice in wonderland themed dolls. You really should post some photos of your girl on that! She really is to die for! That gal did such an excellent job on her dress for you...it is so well done and detailed! Does she do stuff for other MSD sized dolls too?

ETA: Do you think you will ever take her out of that outfit and wig? I don't know if I could-it is all so perfect on her!

Milo must be dressed as the mad hatter!!!!!!! And you must get an anthro BJD (or a Lati Yellow!) to be the Cheshire cat!!!!

You must, you must!!!!!!

ETA: Ok I just saw the shots of Milo with the girls! I am cracking up over the shot with him and Shyla! They are perfect together! Both have that "tude" going on! But he will make the perfect mad Hatter too!

Oh, so happy you agree my Alice is gorgeous! Yes, Nancie outdid herself. I am still in talks with her to make a Dorothy outfit. I may check into the flicker group, but I am waiting to see if I win a White Rabbit on ebay (I am watching two-wish me luck) and than I will take some photos of her with the white rabbit and hopefully outside. We had a wee bit of sun this morning - back to clouds and strong winds. My new hibiscus plant that a friend gave me that I out in the courtyard keeps blowing over!! When will we have nice weather again!! Anyway, when I get the rabbit and can take some pix outside in the flowers maybe I will check into that Flickr group. Thanks so much for your kind words about "Alice"!

So glad you love Milo! He is just my darling boy! I wish to kiss his sweet little face! His stock really is awesome! I love the little glasses! Now I have to pry his sunglasses off of Shyla. It will be tough, she thinks she is sooo cool in them! She does face the window with the sun shining in so I will give her a break!

Good luck on selling the ring! Crossing my fingers for you!

My cousin had one of the beautiful circle diamond necklaces on yesterday and I want one so bad!! Maybe someday....

Ha! How can afford all that??! I WILL GET A YELLOW LATI I guess I could see if Nancie would make a Mad Hatter outfit. She seems to only make girlie dresses, but I could ask. That would be cool wouldn't it? Money is the issue though girlfriend

ETA: No, I am thinking she will be Alice for a looooong time!

I don't know. Nancie has an Ellowyne and a Goodreau and she uses them as her models. I have never seen her post any clothes for regular MSD dolls.

Milo and Shyla as a couple? Hmmm, I foresee some fireworks there!

AETA: I left some comments at Flickr on your new pix of Thorn! He is my fave of your dolls for sure! I love him from head to toe! That wig is gorgeous! His eyes to die for!! Everything!!

AET2: We had tornadoes in the southern Chicago suburbs last night. It is so black and wicked out right now it isn't funny!! Pouring and strong winds!! Rob has the radio on for weather updates! Cross your fingers and send good vibes! We worry about power outages more than the average folks

Ahhh! Thanks my lady! I love Thorn too! He is my fav doll right now for sure! I am going to have a blast photographing him with his Unicorn buddy!

This is kind of what we will be going for, only my husband will be able to do a MUCH better job painting the face than this artist did-although he certainly did a nice job on the overall unicorn. Our Unicorn will be about 18" in total height...so much, much larger than this one which is 8"!

Eeek! I have 4 watchers already for my auction! I hope that means I will have tons of interest!

Oh, the unicorn will be amazing! I can't wait to see him when you finish with him!

Cool on having watchers! Can I have the link so I can keep an eye on the action with you?

ETA: This is a Green Lati (that is the one I will get, not a yellow) dressed as Alice in Wonderland. LOVE HER TO BITS!!

AETA: Well, I just talked to Nancie (via email) and showed her the pix of the Dorothy outfit I wanted. She is going to start it soon. She is also going to get me a basket and little doggie Toto! I'm not sure how long it will take for her to finish as she has many plans for June, but at least this gets the ball rolling! I think it will be fun to have an Alice and a Dorothy. They should look really cute in pix together!

I love that Lati Green Alice!!!!!! How cool you will have Alices!

wow, the Dorothy outfit with Toto is going to be awesome!

I will give you the Ebay link via PM when I get home!

I am at work until 6 tonight!

TTYL!

Well, I won't have two Alices. That Green Lati is someone's and she put her in an Alice outfit. She also has many other wonderful outfits for her and takes amazing pix! I think that particular Green Lati is sold out. I have my eye on the other girl. I am new to the world of Lati dolls so I do not know how often new ones come out or if they get more in of sold out ones. There are none on ebay right now either I will cross fingers that one I love will be around for Xmas time.

Yes, I am really looking forward to having a Dorothy. Ianna as Alice, Rylee as Dorothy, but I do not know who Shyla could be. I will have to think about that one some more.

Well, I have kids to 6:00 and the first ones came at 8:30 AM so long day for me too. It's a pretty easy group today though so no problem. I have little Skylar too but she is actually being a sweetie today!

Hope you have a great day and talk to you tonight!

So how was your day? Mine is dragging on forever!

So that Lati Green will not be another Alice, you just like the mold! I get it now! So she looks like MSD size, correct? She has such a unique and pretty face. I wil have to search around and bring some fun photos over tonight when I get home. Eventually. In about 55 minutes I get to leave...

Counting down...

Hi!

My day was fine! All the kids were really well behaved and had a good time. Sorry your day dragged on. It never does in the daycare business Kids keep you busy!

No, the Green Lati dolls are 12 inches. They are suppose to be kids. They are the ones I linked on one of the previous pages. I wanted one to be the little sibling of Milo.

The Blue Lati dolls are the MSD size. 44 CM. I am truly in love with Blue Basic boy. He is only $60 more than the Green basic. I would be so tempted to find a way to get him. He is really gorgeous! LOVE his stock. Here he is!

http://latidoll.com/2007_en/index.htm?mode=product_view&big=4&mid=8&num=837

Actually all the Lati-Dolls are really amazing. I wish I had discovered them earlier. I am inching closer to selling that diamond ring

I look forward to the pix you bring over!

ETA: Oh crap! I just realized that the basic doll does not include face-up or clothes That makes them really expensive Not sure I want to spend over $300 plus shipping for a 12 inch doll. So the Blue will be over $400. Lordy I need to find a get rich quick scheme!

Well, we just got our stimulus check, and I'm sure most of it will get spent on home improvements we have already spent on and bills...

So I am hoping my auction goes well. I really need a body for my new acquisition! And some clothes, eyes, and possibly wig of course! I do like Mo's silvery wig on the head though...it will do for a while perhaps.

Yes, I agree the Lati line of dolls are classically beautiful and finely done. The price did scare me away a bit too, and I was not in the market for a childlike doll. Maybe someday I may be in the market for one, but for now I want to stick with late teen/ young adult molds. I would kill for the limited Kahn, maybe someone will be selling him nude someday for a reasonable price. He would make the perfect Jack for my Princess Lili.

I know how you feel. Our stimulus check went right back to the government along with 6,000 of our other dollars to pay our first portion of our property taxes We never get to have any fun with a windfall Always goes to the taxes.

Yes, those Lati-dolls are just so gorgeous, but now that I have added the $$$ up I realize how incredibly lucky I am to have gotten my fullset Milo for $315 shipped. Such a deal! I guess I will have to stick with Dollzone fullsets. I really feel like you get a lot for your money with the Dollzone fullsets.

I am sending good vibes your way to have a successful auction!

Thanks! We'll see...

Yes, the dollzone doll full sets are a very good deal. I think the Dollfactory dolls are not too bad a deal either. I got Mo with wig, eyes, face-up, and extra hands and feet for 330.00 + shipping. Her body is much nicer than most other MSD bodies looks wise and posing wise I have seen. I am surprized I have'nt seen more Dollfactory MSD girls out there. They don't have much selection in the MSD size though, although they have a new oriental looking design I don't care much for out.

And if I can get a fairyland/luts body for in the 300.00 range, I guess 400.00 for a custom doll with body and eyes that I want won't be too bad either. I really can't believe i am saying this...

We both have a case of dollitis. It makes you spend a ridiculous amounts of money on dolls and think it is perfectly normal

$400 for a Lutz is a steal!

I just won the White Rabbit I wanted on ebay! I had to stay up late waiting for the auction to end. It is a white rabbit that looks like the one in the original story book, not the movie. I think he will look perfect sitting at the white table having tea with Alice! The seller is in Chicago so hopefully I will have him soon!

Good night! Got to go get my rest as I have 7 kids tomorrow!

Post a photo when you can of the rabbit you won! I am so excited for you!

Yes, I must retire myself...I am going to pay dearly for staying up this late myself!

Goodnight and TTYL!

Here he is!



I love him! I looked up pix from the original story book and this is exactly how the White Rabbit looked! I love using the older and original rabbit for my photos! There was one really awesome amazing one on ebay, but the bidding was already over $50 with a few days to go and multiple bidders. Since I just wanted one for photos, and not for a fancy display or anything, I didn't want to spend that much. This seller also had a great Cheshire cat with the auction ending about 15 mins after the rabbit. Sadly for some reason there were 9 bidders on the cat and it was at $20 and I didn't want to go that much. I got the rabbit for $10.51 shipped. Just the right price!

I hope to take the rabbit and Alice and the table and chairs outside for some photos soon. This weekend is out as we have a wedding to go to Saturday (90 mins away) so a longish day there, and the Father's Day BBQ on Sunday. Oh how my Dad loved the Father's Day BBQ

Anyway, I am really pleased with the rabbit. He will come about to Alice's waist, which seems right from the storybook pix.

There are some Mad Hatter dolls on ebay that come from a Barbie line. About $20, but so freaking ugly they could give you nightmares . I debated, but they are seriously ugly

Seven kiddies coming at 8:15 so I best run along!

Have a wonderful day!

ETA: Here is the Dorothy outfit Nancie will be making for Rylee! She is making the blue socks too.




AETA: EEK! I just got an email from the seller and he/she has already shipped the White Rabbit! Being that he lives in Chicago I am sure I will have him for the weekend!

Excellent choice on the rabbit! I love him! Can't wait to see him with your girl!

That cute Dorothy Pullip makes me almost want to make my Holly into a Dorothy too! I just hate the Pullip bodies now after getting into BJD's.

Have a great day, TTYL!

Thanks! The rabbit will suit my needs and didn't cost me a lot so I am pleased.

Holly would make an AWESOME Dorothy!!

Yes, once you have BJD you never go back!

The necklace I made for the wedding. I was hoping taking the pic in the sunlight would show how much it sparkles, but it doesn't really



A closer view of the pattern.

That necklace is freakin gorgeous! That is going to be perfect for a wedding! I suppose you have bracelet and earrings to match don't you?
How long does it take you to make one?

Thank you!

Yes, I already had made a bracelet, earrings and ankle bracelet with those beads in that style. I had wanted to make a matching necklace for a long time but just never got around to it. This wedding just really got my butt in gear. I was so glad I finally did it. It was easy. It took me about 30 mins. from laying out all the materials to finishing it. I just love it!

I just bought Milo a new wig! I love it! It's from Cool Kat (who I got my Alice wig from) and it was only $15.90! I think Milo will look awesome in this wig!



I plan to put him in that brown wig from CanCan soon and take some pix in that wig.

OOH I love your necklace. I may tackle a necklace now. I love my earrings.
