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.

Oink oink to all Piggy lovers

Jan 29, 2010

    1. Psammead you are responsible if today the tissues from my town is sold out. Thank you for your kind words.
       
    2. psammead is so right Muja, your wonderfulness radiates like the day the tulips open!
       
    3. Oh, I agree, Muja is an angel even though she insists not. If it weren't for her efforts, I wouldn't have a Bubu 2 living at my house now. But I'll let him tell his story in his own words.

      I was a lonely little pig sitting on a shelf
      Until I was rescued by a most courageous elf.
      By car, by truck, by plane I flew.
      Where was I going ? โ€ฆ who knew?

      From the dark I saw the face of another elf, most dear.
      She kissed my face and cried that FINALLY I was here.
      But with the other pigs, I was just one amongst the many.
      That little elf said, โ€œI know someone, of pigs she hasnโ€™t any.โ€
      So with her blessing, and a sweet kiss goodbye,
      I found myself in the box again, flying in the sky.

      When my box was open, I had to plug my ears,
      This one was squealing, โ€œHeโ€™s here, heโ€™s here, heโ€˜s HERE.โ€

      Although she can not sew, she labored the day throughout,
      And when she was done, she kissed my little snout.
      These clothes you wouldnโ€™t find at Bergdorf,
      (I wear them so I wonโ€™t freeze my butt off.)

      Love,
      Ernie

    4. Oh Susan that is brilliant! I love how these little darlings have connected us from all over the world, and I so appreciate the new friends we are making through Muja's thread.

      And I can see it now -- love songs and poems to our piglets!!
       
    5. Yay!!!!! He is just so stinkin' cute Susan!!!! What a great little poet he is!!!

      Judy :D
       
    6. Susan B. Oh, Ernie is darling! Another Bubu lad! Gorgeous wee face! Beautiful eyes! And so poetical!
       
    7. Adorable, Susan! What a cutie he is!

      We were contacted today by The Myrtle Woods Evening Tattler which was threatening to publish a photo they somehow got if we didn't pay a whole lot of money to them! But after talking it over with the parents, we decided we would not bend to their blackmail and would publish the photo first! The wedding took place some time ago (I just need to post the photos and, er, take them) so this baby is 100% legitimate since pigs have fairly short gestation periods (it is pretty short, right?) Mrs. Wilburforce Wigglebottom would like to introduce you to her daughter, Chastity.

    8. So glad you posted the picture, Darkstar. Never give in to blackmail. What a sweet photo, the new mom looks quite glamerous and the new babe, darling.

      Thank you Catrita, Tappindoll, and Psammead. Yes, Ernie does enjoy attempting poetry. He hasn't quit his day job though. ;)
       
    9. That's a wonderful poem, Susan B.! Ernie has got quite the way with words!
       
    10. I can only reply with my Blackberry, so have to keep it short. Thank you, you ere the most amazing group of people I ever met. Thank you for the wonderful poem, am completely in tears now. I hope tomorrow my internet is restored and am able to hug everyone on a bigger screen as this 3cm screen. My Floragang is waving at you and singing Ayayjippyjippyeee. I love you guys !
       
    11. Wow I really love your Ophelia, she's so lovely! That face-up is so shazam! :o

      Kyaa~ I want to see the wedding photos soon.
       
    12. That Myrtle Woods Evening Tatler! What a rag! I don't allow it in the house. The editor is a louse. (I mean literally a louse.)

      Ophelia's foldy-over ears are so sweet. And she's such a glam lady!
       
    13. Man Psalmead - that quote soooooooooooooo belongs on the Firefly thread - bloody Awesome signature quote - did you create it or find it somewhere - I Adore it!

      Oh Heavens Ernie is so Freakin CUTE! and a POET!!!! Oh Heavens what a sweet and wonderous intro - and you did a Wicked Cool job on the outfit!!!

      Heavens Darkstar, your Ophelia is so incredibly Gorgeous! I have a blank one and now you are giving me all sorts of ideas as I have all this wild nail polish hanging about....hmmm... Omg Chastity is so Precious!!!! Even if the belt ummmm er....well, you cant believe Everything you read in the newspaper eh?!

      They are utterly Squeedorable and she looks like a wonderful Mommie!!! Ooooh Patrick must be bustin at the seams wids Proudmost!

      I have a little Bubu piggie on the way and omg the bed came today - Yeeks I am swimmin in happy little piggies and will be visiting this thread ALOT more!

      Also we have some interspecies romance going on as my Mole Moishe and my new Ophelia are in constant company - wonder what that union will produce.....wiglets?!
       
    14. What's the Firefly thread? Is it cool? Would I like it?

      Um, I wrote the quote. I'm writing a couple of things about dolls and this is from the less developed of the two. I don't know much about the person who says it, except that he's a doll artist.

      Fantastic! I have an Alice (boy) on the way to me -- and I'm going to love him lots -- but if a Bubu wandered into my sight, well, let's just say I adore the Bubu sculpt. Did you get yours on the secondhand market?

      Yeah, I have a cat and a giraffe who sit all day with their arms around each other in loving devotion. I can't show them as they're OT. Fortunately it's a boy/boy romance so I don't have to worry about offspring.
       
    15. Ooooh Psammead - Yeppers its Cool and you would Love the FF thread!!! Actually we were Cool for the first 4 threads and now thanks to Lany we are Jiveing at Five http://www.denofangels.com/forums/showthread.php?407730-Firefly-Faerie-thread-FIVE-Ain-t-No-Jive!! - Come Join the Merry Mayhem!

      I have actually been rather seduced recently by an OT doll and I was showing my hubby this other doll forum and he just started cracking up because he is so accustomed to all the mayhem on the FF thread, so he started reading all these sweet messages of "What a lovely, oh how nice, isnt it charming...ect" and burst out laughing over how noone had farted, rounded up monkey balls, had trangendered potatos growing in their bathrooms, streaking pukis, no butts mentioned, glowing or otherwise, no wild crazed flights of tangential irreverence. He just couldnt stop giggling at his brief encounter with a "normal doll thread"

      But of course over here you have much of the same crew - so this is a great thread too!

      Yep, I had sold a doll to a peep here via MP and we ended up trading so I am getting a lovely Bubu w sleeping head - SqueeDoodle!

      Thats who the special bed is for - Moishe and Ophelia seem quite content for now on their little bent twig bench in the peaceful garden with Tiggys perimeter plant.....tee heee... I guess that could affect offspring count eh peeps?! Will need to get a pic of that for ya!

      Wow, you are a writer, I definitely am going to want to read this book! I so adore that quote! It so suits the Fireflies you will soooo see why!

      So love it about your Cat Giraffe wrapped in loving devotion - so sweet - you will have to sneak em in along with your piggie when he comes!

      I cant waaaaaaaaaaaaaait to show off this fabulous bed I got for my little Bubu, who I am planning is going to be a girl, even if Ernie surely has far more wonderful lashes! Ooooh what a cutie Ernie is!!!!

      You have an ACB boy coming - omg, you are going to sooooooooooooooo adore how smoothly they move, Congratulations!!!
       
    16. I know exactly what you mean. There's a thread here -- and I adore the dolls and the people are so, so nice and they do beautiful, beautiful face ups and make gorgeous dresses -- but it's all just a bit... dull. The dolls sit around politely on chairs. They don't have adventures like the piggies here -- or write poetry -- or adopt toddlers. Piggies are so much cleverer. My boys at home (OT dolls, 6 yrs old) aren't polite at all; they're more, "Mama! Put that Deadwood dvd on again! We want to see the bit where
      the man squishes the Indian man's head with a rock!" "Yeah! We want to see the blood!"

      SqueeDoodle indeed! I adore sleeping heads! I haven't seen a sleeping Bubu outside the CCC website. Can't wait to see your girl!

      Ernie has stolen all our hearts with his dashing ways, hasn't he? Those eyelashes and that poetry! My ACB boy was (perhaps still is at the moment) a girl, but my kind seller is redoing his face-up. She's changing his dark lashes for blond ones. Another boy-piggy friend for Banbhan and Ernie.

      [DarkStar] Have I understood correctly that Chastity's papa is a Patrick? I'd love to see pics. We're curiously short of Patricks.
       
    17. ROFL over the thread comparrison. It's not that those of us on the FF thread can't do company manners, it's just that we are a huge family now and our conversations reflect that.

      An embarrassed Ernie says thank you all for the kind complements. He works on his poetry when he's out collecting herbs and wild flowers.

    18. Ah, ah, Ernie! You're not allowed to cover up those beautiful eyelashes in photos. What does he do with herbs and wildflowers, I wonder? Such a sweetie? Who did his face-up, Susan B.?
       
    19. Ernie really is such a sweetie. I find it impossible to resist his little smile. Ernie is an herbalist and spends a lot of time hunting rare plants. His wondeful faceup is by Sweetly Twisted and my pictures don't manage to capture all the detail.
       
    20. Omg, Dying of CuteNess!!! - Oh Heavens Ernie is just to Freakin Cute - Yep, we are all head over heels for that lil wonder!!!

      I may have gotten it wrong, but I think the baby's father was Patrick - Darkstar, forgive me if I screwed that up! I just remember that adorable aching pic as he waited for her to come home, and I thought his name was Patrick, but now I am not sure - last name is surely Wigglebottom tho! (oosp, "Mrs Wilburforce Wigglebottom" - now I am not sure whos name is what!) Ack!

      Well you guys inspired me, and I Finally realized I actually DO have eyes, meant for another doll, but utterly Perfectly what I have truly wanted in my ACB Mommie - so here she is with darling little one in an OOAK dress by Biscuitbear that was one of the first works of art I ever bought for a dolly - isnt it Amazing?! (BTW is anyone noticing that I cant recall the names of MY OWN dolls OMG!)
