RosenLied discussion part 1

I've found the Bebe pics, she's very sweet. Mine hasn't shipped yet but hopefully soon

 

I found her pictures, too. I am very glad I ordered her. When did you place your order?

 

14th March but I didn't finish paying for her until 17th April.

 

You should not have long to wait. I paid mine on April 4th.

 

No it shouldn't be too long. Then of course she sits in UK customs for a fortnight before being processed and held to ransom! I have got used to long waits from companies but I find the time between arriving and leaving customs so frustrating..

 

Hopefully it won't be that long in customs. I am not used to that kind of thing in the US, but I had shipped a package of Teddy Bears (I make them) to a UK shop and they were going to take them to one of the biggest Teddy bears shows in the world. I was so excited, but the bears were held in customs for four weeks so they missed the show

 

Oh Tami that is sad. Customs must be so frustrating. Kayjay, I hope Bebe slips right on thru!

 

Oh Tami that is so annoying. Was it Hugglets? I used to go there a lot as I collected bears before bjds. I still do, but only occasionally.
Oliveoil - fingers crossed although I seem to get caught every time now, although we're lucky as the asian companies mark down so our bill is usually around £30 for a $50 declaration, although that also includes the hated Parcelforce fee for 'handling' the customs.

 

Frustrating indeed! Yes it was Hugglets! I have always wanted to go in person, and was so excited that my bears would be going. It ended ok, though as the shop had no trouble selling them (they sold by photographs, and dare I day it, my reputation) and has asked me to send them work for Next February's show! I will post them in in January LOL!

Crossing fingers that your dear little Bebe arrives without hassel! Shipping cost so much--even within the US anymore.

Oliveoil, I hope you will photograph you Bebe as soon as she arrives

 

She arrived today! I like her much better than Bonbon. I love this body. It is heavy and nice to pose. Unfortunately I sold all my 18mm eyes and didn't order any from RL. Not sure I like these but will do until I can replace.

 

She looks beautiful Oliveoil - so pleased you like her over the Bonbon you had! Have you any clothes for her yet, or do you need to buy/make some?

 

Thanks! She has a softer look.
I have 2 outfits. I will try them on and take pictures. Also going to try 16mm.

 

16mm eyes work okay.

 

Congratulations Oliveoil! Oh she's so cute! I sort of wish I could have gotten both dolls now. I will definitely be ordering one more at some point since my Mignon will need a friend (or sister)

And you got the shoes! They were sold out before I could add them to my order.

I think she looks pretty with the 16 mm in that dark brown. I am considering 16 mm for my Mignon. Whether 16 or 18 I will have to buy them. The biggest I have are 14...or maybe my minifee's default eyes were 16--I will have to check.

 

Thank you Tami. I was so surprised to see the boots sold out by afternoon. I almost waited until the evening. I am with you wish I ordered Mignon. Bebe needs a friend.

 

Does anyone know if there are any other dolls whose clothes would fit these Holiday's Child girls, like Tonner, Kish, Sasha etc.?

 

I just tried the owl dress that Emma was wearing that also fits Dianna Effner Little Darling, fits Holiday. I have a 14" Kish outfit I will give a try tomorrow and let you know.

 

I prefer her with brown eyes, but then I usually favour brown or green eyes and the 16mm work well. I've got 18mm eyes but they are blue (they were in the UK so I decided to buy and try!). Definitely try on Kish clothes, it would be really helpful if a generic doll clothing fitted her.

 

Yes Kish clothes do fit. I will post a picture. Maybe not pants, but dresses fit nicely.

 

RL have posted a pic of Peanut on Flickr, I hope they don't mind if I share the photo here:
