2 od 3 Dolls of Interest September 9, 2013

This is easy.  ANYTHING Dale Zentner. Tried for a Tessa all of 2012/13w/  no luck. When a doll is completed (full set) Dale emails interested buyers. First to respond has the option to purchase the doll.

1 of 3 Dolls of Interest September 8, 2013

My initial title was "Doll of Interest." Too general. A year needed to be added. The dolls of interest have changed drastically for me since my serious collecting commented in 2007 with Tonner's Agnes Dreary.

The latest wished for line-up. 1 of 3

Loving Gatsby - again

The mid 1970s found us re-loving Gatsby through Redford and Farrow in the latest film version. Women were wed wearing floppy hats instead of veils and the men sported white trousers, shoes, and colorful jackets as serious fashion. 2013 took the pink suit to DiCaprio and again the ladies look for their fashions swinging and their men driving Model As. My BDFF Penne from GA created Gatsby for my Dollmore Eve and she is smashing from her cloche -

 

to the beading on her dress

 

 

and every other little detail.

 

 

 

 

Had to display Eve with more time-related items: a craftsman house and a book featuring William Morris textiles. Thank you, Penne, for dressing Eve! PS I love the seamed stockings!

 

 

Dewie's First Day of school

An old fashion - Dewie looked charming in spite of the hand me down!

Erin's Wedding - HD wore her pink dress

HD's Cutesy Moment

The egg shape of the head intrigues me - why would this doll every need a wig? This is why. Hu Du also needs her cutesy moments cuz every doll wants to look super adorable.

Darwin Fashion for SD

I confess. I purchased this doll fashion years before I owned a BJD. The attention to detail, quality of the fabric/craftsmanship, and unique style made me press the BIN button.

Darwin Dress SD 13

- printed cotton dress & pinafore inspired by Charles Darwin! Included are:

1 - A sweet cotton dress with a lovely print including butterflies & insects. This dress has full sleeves, a rounded collar, glass buttons at the back, and a glass button accent at the neckline. At the hem there is pretty cotton lace and twill ribbon with the word, "evidence", and its definition.

2 - An adorable pinafore with ruffled cap sleeves printed with the genus & species of many specimens, and "evidence" ribbon & lace at the hem. This pinafore also buttons in the back with glass buttons.

3 - A tan 100% wool felt beret adorned with pretty striped, grosgrain ribbon & a brass beetle!

THE SHOES - Purchased the perfect footwear for this fashion last week. A random Flickr post from Val Zietler offered boots and strappy shoes in their natural color or dyed. I chose a beige color to complement the fashion.
