COLLECTED AT THE SCW

While at the Sasha Celebration weekend I collected a couple of items brought over from the US for me by a friend.


This doll sized edition of Little Women.


These doll sized utensils on a key ring, it's great that they put all these miniature items on key rings It allows us to find some perfect things for the dolls!


and this ! A paint and dress her yourself ... Xenis doll!


A friend sent me the link about the fact that Xenis were going to produce some dolls that people could paint and dress for them selves and that were a faction of the cost of buying one completed .

So I paid a deposit back on I think February and I was then informed she was ready to dispatch just before the end of April. So I paid her final payment and she was sent to my friend who very kindly offered to put her in her case and bring her to the SCW.


Here is a close up of her unpainted face.


Full instructions are sent on how to remove her head and paint her eyes.


instructions on the eyes.


She also came with a dress pattern, which is great as i can make one for my other Xenis doll too!
I'm looking forward to having a go at painting her and making her some clothes.


Those things I collected .


If you remember I liked the look of this Kidz n Cats Mini boy with the Heather Maciak dolls, well I looked on the doll sites I use and found one for sale.


So Freddy arrived today! I had some points available to spend on the site, so go him for a great price.

.
He was very happy to be out of that box and home. I think he can keep the name Freddy as we don't have a doll named Freddy.


So another boy joins the village family. I'm very pleased with how he looks as it's always the luck of the draw when you buy a doll from the internet.I don't know about you but if I was buying any doll or teddy or soft toy, I have to find the one with the 'right' face ! you know the one that appeals to me and if the shop assistant says' I'll go get one in a box, I always say ,no thanks I want this one! After all I may have just spend twenty minutes looking at them all until the right one comes to hand!

Well that concludes my SCW posts, I hope they've not been too long and it's back to Village life now.... well until the Chat N Snap.

    Well, Soul Sister I am with you all the way when it comes to choosing the 'right' face on dolls/teddies. I can take ages in a shop much to the dismay of other customers/relatives near by :) Loving the tiny cutlery...how cute are they?!

    Morning Dee- I CAN SEE!!!!! Blogger, FB, emails with attachments, you name it, i haven't been able to see it for days and I felt deprived.
    But I'm loving my catch up and this has mde my day - (Sunday). Freddy is much more cute than I thought he would be from the stock photos I've seen. he looks great with his sister but...... won't he need a brother too?!

    Wow, the Xenis girl will be a great project. Can't wait to see what you decide to do with her in terms of eyes and hair.

    So all in all, a great hall of dolls and doll related items and you have been quite frugal - no NP Sashas or studio dolls! Congratulations!

    PS -I was the parent of a six year old and a four year old who had to be dragged out of Hamley's Toy Shop by said children who got bored waiting for mummy to make a decision. Experssion is personality and personality is important!

      I thought for a moment there it was a miracle ! ;) Although I know what you mean when you can finally see whats been up on the internet :)
      Freddy is better in the flesh :) they only do a blonde at the moment I may get him a brother but who knows when!
      I hope the Xenis doll comes out well ... :)
      yes a great haul :) xx

    Some lovely buys Dee, the little KnC boy is a cutie. I didn't know that Xenis sold dolls like that, my friend recently got a full set one but she's been waiting for ages and ages for hers to be shipped. Wooden dolls are lovely, so warm looking. I look forward to seeing her when she's painted and dressed.

      Thanks Sharon. This is the first time Xenis have done this, it was limited to how many people paid a deposit by a certain date. So I don't know how many took up the offer.
      I'm looking forward to seeing how she turns out! xx
