RRFF Stella

I would have preferred a blue eyed red head for my third basic Ruby Red Fashion Friend to finish my trio, but settled for a green eyed one instead. Stella has a very pretty face and two toned hair which I really like. At least I won't have to worry about trying to get that glued on wig off her little noggin'. 

I'm assuming her top and jeans will have Velcro, so I am thinking I'll probably end up putting all the RRFF clothes with Velcro up for sale down the track. Her replacement clothes are all ready for her, she just needs to arrive.

I'm not sure how long it will take for her to arrive as I ordered her directly from Ruby Red Toys this time. I did this purely to test the time from order to arrival and to compare the amounts paid for my two earlier purchases of the basic dolls.

So what are your thoughts on Stella? Do you think she'll compliment my first two?

RRFF Daisy

Thought this little gal might interest someone. Daisy features hazel green eyes, cute freckles and shoulder-length sandy blonde hair.

Her outfit consists of a short sleeved lavender dress with a pretty layer of sheer floral embroidered fabric and a purple sash with a silk flower; white lace leggings; silver and purple flats; and a straw Easter bonnet with purple ribbon and flower embellishments.

She is a pretty doll and a USA exclusive, limited to 175. Pre order now for March from Samantha's Dolls or Happily Ever After - US$149.99. 

I like her, but I'm not purchasing this time . . . aren't I a good girl? 

She's Arrived!

Eira was pre-ordered on 26th January, shipped from the UK on the 18th February, arriving today, just eight days later and ahead of schedule. Whereas my boots that I ordered for these gals on 17th January, which were promptly shipped from my supplier on the 18th, and finally departed Moscow on 28th, still haven't arrived . . . crazy slow postage, but I am allowing for Covid delays on this parcel.

The limited edition boxes are unlike the open editions, and look quite different to any that I have seen before. They are very substantial and much too nice to dispose. Inside I found her accessories taped (not stapled) to the side of the box, along with her Certificate of Authenticity (she is #91 of 150 dolls limited to the European market).

Her clothes are nicely made, although the top and pants had Velcro (which you know I hate). The jacket is gorgeous and fully lined, her accessories are also nicely finished and best of all, she is much better IRL than in her promo shots!

I haven't undone her hair yet and will probably leave it as it is, for now at least. 

I'm still finding the heavy eyeliner a bit difficult to deal with, but her blue eyes are so pretty. Initially I had plans for changes to be made to this doll, but that was  before I had received her, I am having second thoughts now.

I may just keep her as she is and buy another basic Fashion Friend to complete my trio. Of course that means I shall probably look for two more Limited Editions down the track so Eira has friends of her own. (Perhaps that is simply me thinking of another excuse to buy another couple of dolls? 🤣)
