The Flower Crowning Chair

After years of wanting this chair it's finally home. I'm super excited about this chair. Most SD size furniture isn't that great, and if it is, you usually have to pay a little higher for it, well, it's worth it. You diffidently get what you pay for. I'm glad that I bought this now because I have the feeling you wont be able to get it soon, but that's just my feeling. 

The Volks Flower Crowning Chair is the epitome of elegance. Colors of gold and cream have really made an impact on the room that it'll be in.  I'm actually changing out some of the rooms in the Doll House and this chair had to be a part of the makeover. I'm going to be taking actual profile pictures of ALL of the dolls in the coming weeks for a book and this chair I think will make a great background for the photos.

Everyone from the Pub wanted to try it out.

This Years Wish List (or What's Coming in For Sure)

Usually this time every year, I wind up making a "dolly wish list", but usually it gets too long and way out of hand by the end of the year, so this year, I'm just going to add to this list as a "what's coming in" list instead. As of now, there aren't really any dolls that I'm all that fired up about.  I think my collection is really good right now, and several are out for blushing and new faceups.  I am waiting right now to be able to see the new Feeple 65cm female in person to see if my Constance's (Luts DES) head will fit on this new body, but until DDE gets some, I'm okay about no new ones coming into the house. I do have still on layaway/preorder my new Izzy (FL LTF Luna), and the Dollzone baby from their Christmas Event from about two years ago.  

But today I started my shopping process of stuff. Just small, but things I've had bookmarked that I've wanted for a while. 

My JoAnna Turtledove I just love to death, but her Plantedoll Mini Riz body is less than desirable. From playing with her for over a year or so now, she's really not made well, AT ALL. She's a nice size, but her torso doesn't move, and her elbow joints are always getting backwards, plus her hand/wrist joints have always popped out of the socket. So for about the last several months I've been looking for a replacement. Unfortunately Fairyland hasn't come out with a slender size 27cm body, and not sure if they ever will. So I had two others similar in size in mind, the Limhwa To You girl, but after looking at her measurements, she's really tiny.  Then a friend of mine sent me the link to SouDoll's Jandi and her measurements are almost perfect compared to the Mini Riz's proportions.  I tried to find some comparison pictures but there aren't a lot there, but I've ordered her anyway, in white skin and no makeup. The Jandi head is really small also, so she wont be used for anything and probably sold. Here are some of the pictures from SoulDolls sight.  She's double jointed and can do many more poses than the Mini Riz. She's bigger busted than the Mini Riz, but I'd rather have that.  I'm pretty sure all of the outfits I already have will fit her and she'll probably look much better. I'm going to hold off on getting her blushed for at least a little while.

 

To go along with JoAnna, I had this bookmarked forever also, and went and ordered it today. I really don't like any of the Anime series, but some of the dolls or the props they come with are very useful. THe ZC Girl Sexy Witch Bunny is one such doll. I'll have to see in our local group  if anyone wants the doll herself, but the cape and all of the masks are mine. The long nose death mask is perfect for JoAnna and her character/background and the skulls can be used in House Mysterium.

    

And for my last little bit of damage today, I went over to look at the bookmark I had for DollHeart and their Yo-SD size outfits. They made Yo size Fers a while back and I wasn't able to get one when they first came out and pretty much gave up all hope of getting one, let alone both colors. But the last several months they have put them back up and have some in stock, YAHOO, so Serenity will be getting a Black Fer and Izzy will get a White Fer. I so can't wait to get pictures of them in these outfits. These are all stock photos from DollHeart.

   

        

These were some of the things I wanted to get in the last year and so excited they are coming now. I think me and PayPal have done enough damage for the day.

A Doll A Day-2011 Quest

Happy New Year Everyone.

I know my first post for the year is usually earlier than this, but we've still just been so busy, and I hadn't gotten my "wish list" figured out quite yet and didn't want to post till I did. Actually still sorting it out. But one of my very good friends was talking about doing the Doll A Day over at Flickr, and I have always wanted to do one, but didn't want to take the time, to take the picture, find my cords, plug the camera into the computer, upload the pictures to my hard drive, edit them, watermark them, then send them to Flickr, ugh what a friggen hassel. I had said to Wombat Lullaby that if I could get my iPhone to do it all for me I would, so after I put Little Man down, I checked my settings, and low and behold, since I've got the new 4G I have Flickr already on it, and can just TAKE THE PICTURE, and upload right to Flickr, YAHOOO. 

So the picture isn't here, but it's over at my brand new set, Doll A Day, and I started with my newest little addition, my PukiFee Luna, otherwise now known as Josephine Fontana or Joey for short. She might be the one that's in most of the pictures, since I've been toting her around lately, but I'll try and get everyone eles in, since I don't have to hassel so much with uploading now. 

Send me good wishes and lots of luck on this new quest. With the adoption and everything eles going on, I really need to do this??? Yes, I do, it'll be a blast.

My Very Own Emile Autumn

The words NO MORE DOLLS FOR THE YEAR, sound great in your head and when you say it, but then when you really say it, you can never stick to it. And I'm okay with that.  I tried, almost succeeded, but I've had this idea in my head for almost a year for my Queen of Hearts doll to go along with my MiniMee Johnny Depp MSD. I've been trying to figure out which mold could go into the Alice room and be with Johnny.  For the last week or so I've been doing a ton of research on any and all MSD's, but still couldn't figure out who would be a good mold.  The other idea I had was also to have my very own version of Emilie Autumn. I love Emilie's music, her look, her Victorian/Gothic music, but not so much the drama and that's fine with me.

So I went through all of my doll sites to see who could fit both of these huge characters. I wound up looking at some "fashion" type dolls on Dollmore but couldn't figure out why their heads were so small.  They  have them measured at 16inch (44cm) Mini Super Dollfies, but with five inch heads. There were several molds that in the right wig and face-up would be good, but also at about $100.00 shipping an handling I didn't want to take the chance.  So I started looking at my old standby company, Fairyland.  I've already have about four of their MiniFee MSD's and love them.  Their posing is great and the magnet hands and sleeping face's are my top choices, but still couldn't figure out a head mold. 

Now I decided since we are so close to DDE, just go down while Little Man is in school and see what they have that could work.  I figured if anything I could put her in lay-a-way. Well, I got down there and the lovely GriffionFeathers had this beautiful new Fairyland ChicLine Lishe full set in stock and needing a home. I had seen and heard about the dolls when they came out in May, but didn't really like them.  They seemed skinnier, and wasn't to attracted to the molds.  But seeing them in person, is a huge difference.  

DDE had the full set, plus all of the summer event offers, (extra heads, lion mold, Little Fee connector, outfit and sleeping head).  After playing with her and posing her, I knew she would be the perfect Emilie Autumn/Red Queen girl.  I truly love this doll.  She'll have to have a better face up, although the face up she came with is amazing, I still want her to have more of a closer resemblance to EA.

Lishe out of the box at the store.  Almost a dead ringer.  

 

At home, lounging on the furniture, looking all sexy in her lingerie.

 

In an old Barbie ballerina dress, white wig and little opera hat from my Poe Sisters. I've already changed out her brown default eyes.  They are pretty, but EA has gray. I've got a pair of 8mm gray in her, and although they are the right color and pretty, they are WAY too big.  Look for more of her in the next weeks.

Tiny Town Meet Up

Wow, I can't belive I hadn't put these up yet on the blog.  I have them on Flickr but never got them over here.  A few weeks ago we had a Tiny Town meet and it was fantastic. Thank you again GriffenFeathers for putting this together, we had a blast and can't wait to do it again next year. The weather was perfect, great food, great conversations and always beautiful dolls.  Here are just a few of what I took.

 

Rumm House

Rumm is just a few weeks away from opening up the InterFaery Liaison Registration Office. He still has some things to work out with I.T. (also known as Information Troll).

GI Joe & Kung Foo Grip

Sort of.  We were out last week doing last minute Christmas shopping for Little Man and I found these great GI Joe Figures for like $10.00.  I figured they'd be great for the future Planet Doll Mini boy for whenever he comes in.  I love the swords.
