I needed some "mood" shots of the new BID dresses, so took my girls outside for a picnic with a lot of the toys and props from the recent alphabet series. Of course, now there's so many cute photos of them that I'm going to have to make a Favourite Photos page for them all. Sewing goes slow this week - I had expected to be a lot further along. Seems to be a trend these days. But all three new outfits are now complete and just need studio shots before they can go up for sale. THEN I can move on to the Tobi Commissions.
I'm both excited and embarrassed to admit that I succumbed to the "Goodbye Bimong Sale" at D-Storic. Bimong is the artist behind all the Narae dolls (of which I already have two) and D-Storic is the company currently making them for sale. I really wasn't planning on ordering anymore dolls so soon, but Bimong's contract with D-Storic runs out at the end of December, so they are having one final sale. I've always loved the Butterfly Narae sculpt with her delicate smile - there are very few smiling dolls out there, and Butterfly Narae is a beauty - and this could very well be the last chance to get one. With the mess concerning Bimong the last few years, there's no way of knowing what will happen next. Plus a 30% off sale is just too good to pass up. Now I seriously need to ignore all the rest of the upcoming Christmas sales. I'm majorly running out of display space, and would really like to have my whole collection somewhere where I can see them all at once, anytime, so I've been eyeing my doll cabinets, and think I may have a solution. I'd need to empty off two or three shelves to make room for the BJDs - the biggest dolls will need two shelves height-wise worth of space. I'm eyeing the felt dolls and the porcelain doll shelves right now. Some of the oldest art dolls can be sold too. And Christmas is coming, so guess what - everyone in the family might just be getting dolls for Christmas this year! I'll think about it some more. Comments are closed.
