1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

    3. So EIGHT YEARS AGO (sheesh time flies!) I said:

      Well a strange thing happened the other night - Having decided I wasn't interested in dolls any more and was even going to sell my AoD Shang Nai, I was really bored & looking through all my doll photos on flickr just to pass time - oohing and ahhing at all the lovelies I've lost over the years (including my darling B&G Sandra in my avatar, Erica).

      I never go on ebay any more but thought impulsively (as one does LOL) I'll just see if by incredible chance, someone is selling a B&G Sandra... NO they were not! (sigh) But I am pretty darned sure I found my old Claudette!

      So although I'm apparently "not interested in dolls any more" - this is family! :D And also FATE - what a coincidence I decided to look at ebay again! Managed to resist sensibly for about 36 hours before putting in an offer - Now just waiting for her to come home again! I may be mistaken - I guess I'll find out on closer inspection but if anyone could post a photo of their certificate for me PLEASE :daisy I'll have a better idea of how unique they are (or aren't!) TY <3

    5. Oh she is very cute @0bsequi0us - I didn't see this sculpt back when it came out - I love the way you've styled her!

    6. Well look who arrived today :fangirl: I have got thus far with unboxing, before collapsing in an exhausted heap with a cup of tea. Much better packaging than team Mirodol/Arwen managed so no breakages this time thank goodness! Head was not attached to S-hook though so I am currently trying to find something I can use as a head hook pulling tool - might need a slice of cake to help me think better though LOL - I am currently planning on naming my plumptious beauty Delia - that could change though - Lovely faceup by Eludys!

    7. Found a pink shoelace makes the perfect head-hook pulling tool (has to be pink though LOL) FINALLY got Delia wigged up and dressed in some of the lovely clothes which her seller, @jemmilly kindly included! I didn't think my AoD Shang Nai, Daisy, had a very expressive face but she is definitely sulking at not being the only doll in the room LOL

    10. Got this blonde wig $1 from Alice's Collections when I ordered my 1/4 AoD Shang Nai last year - so it's way too small for Delia but actually bigger than the Monique wig she came in (which was 6"-7" held on with velcro dots)

      This one's 7"-8" so figured it might fit too, and it does stretch between those velcro dots! Had to let the side plaits down to make it more in proportion & it is way too shiny but I really love the style on her.

      I love her black wig too but wanted something more 'rustic' to suit the DoA sewing project (mori girl) Not that I have sewn anything yet but thankfully she came with sewing patterns by Arwen so I have no excuses LOL

      I never would have thought to put a 1/4 size wig on her though if she hadn't come with one already - velcro is magic!
