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.

    1. I am doing a happy dance...ELFDOLL sent me some new hands for Rosie...with S hooks on them!!!! I wrote a note to them in Q&A on their site....and they said they would send mw hands with the s hooks....and they did!!! WOOHOO!
      Now to change the ones I attatched with some plastic thread.....
       
    2. Congrats! :D What a great name you've picked too! I have a compilation volume of her books and I just love looking at the illustrations. Can't wait to see photos of your own fairy soon. :)

      Hugs, Juli DC :fangirl:
       
    3. That's fantastic news RoseAnn! :D This should make things easier when you change Rosey's arms or even when dressing her. I'm hoping my girl will have hands with S hooks too when she arrives out of layaway from Doll Peddlar. Congrats again to you, and keep us posted on how well these new hands work out for your doll.

      Hiugs, Juli DC :fangirl:
       
    4. My Sissy Seed finally arrived from DDE today!!! They were sold out everywhere but there when I looked for them at the end of March, and then Elfdoll put DDE's final allotment on backorder. I was more than a little concerned that I'd end up getting my order refunded, but got lucky afterall! ;) Her big sister Rosey won't keep me waiting much longer now, I think her layaway at Doll Peddlar will be paid in full at the end of this month! ;) I'm just getting ready to plant a new rose bush (Mr. Lincoln) tomorrow, so I hope it'll thrive and show me at least one bloom this Summer so that I'll be able to have a nice backdrop to photograph both Rosey and her "baby bud". :D
       
    5. I got my shipping notice yesterday from Doll Peddlar...my Rosey is on her way and due to be delivered on June 4th! :D I can hardly wait to see her!
       
    6. Anyone else notice the pic of the new Elfdoll Seeds on the Elfdoll site? Very cute! Especially like Sissy 2 - I wonder if she comes in that cute tiny house behind her. :)

      Anyone know when they are due out?

    7. I saw them today and I love the one with the eyes, so adorable they are, but I think my Tulie can only have 1 baby to worry about;)
       
    8. I'm having trouble getting the site to load. I'd like to see the new seedling.
      I very nearly sold my Rosey. What was I thinking?!!! (More dollies) I'm keeping her now. She's so beautiful and so unusual. I doubt I'd be able to replace her.
       
    9. Ooh they're cute!
       
    10. Is finding s hooks hard?? I want to order the flower elves, but I really want them to have s hooks for their hands because I plan on changing the parts. I really want them to have the regular bare feet,but the leaf arms...

      I am scared cause I heard its really hard to change them without s hooks..

      Is it hard to find very tiny s hooks like at the hardware store?? Or would it be easier to just make sure they have s hooks when I order them???

    11. The s hooks are TINY....and molded into the hands...the flower fairies are being produced with these now....when I ordered Rosie, early on, the s hooks were not there....but when I ordered Tulie...she came with the s hooks. Elfdoll was very quick to send me new hands for Rosie at no expense on my part when I asked for them ! These little cuties are just so sweet and unique.....Elfdoll is VERY nice to deal with also....hence, I own 17 of them in all shapes and sizes!!!
       
    12. Thanks Roseann,:)

      I ended up ordering my flower elves and I made sure they all had the regular hook system instead of the fishing line systems. From the few dealers I spoke with,it seems about half their inventory is fishing line and the other half is the hooks.

      I love elfdolls too, I never planned on owning more than one from elfdoll,but after my Polaris I orderd Twiggy Yumi,and now the flower elfs. Elfdoll makes very beautiful dolls I think!

    13. I thought I should post in this thread since my Avatar is Rosie! Here is a photo of Rosie and Tulie (both in leaf skin) with a purple ResinSoul Yu.

    14. Your dolls are adorable, sfbeck! I didn't realize there was such great detail to those flowers - love the little leaves on their arms! Thanks for sharing such a wonderful pic of them here - really enjoyed seeing them! :)
       
    15. Thanks for the compliments. They are great little dolls!
       
    16. They are all gorgeous and I love Rosie's dress. Around her face she seems to have more green on the edge of the rose. Did you do that? It's so pretty.
       
    17. Yes, I added the green. The original coloring had the red just fade away before the molded petal shapes merged with her face. I wanted color there!
       
    18. It's great. I was thinking of adding more pink to mine.
       
    19. I ordered Rosey in Leaf skin from Denver Dolls early on, but she didn't come when everything else was in stock. I emailed them, and they said ElfDoll had mixed up their order and sent too many normal skins and not enough leaf skins to fill their pre-orders. I held out and asked them to keep trying to get the leaf skin since I prefered it soooo much over the regular. I had to wait an awfully long time, but now I'm glad since when she finally came, she had the s-hooks. She might not have had if everything had gone according to plan. Like you, I absolutely had to put on the leaf arms. The plain arms are not nearly as fun. When I ordered Tulie, quite a bit later, she also had the s-hooks. I lucked out!
