Finally Shaken the Bug

Well after a good fortnight of sneezing, coughing, spitting and blowing, taking all the yucky stuff prescribed by "the doc" and generally feeling like s**t, I think I have finally shaken the bug.


Today is the first time for weeks that I actually feel reasonably "normal". I have been reading your blogs, but just couldn't think clearly enough to leave comments, so I hope you'll forgive me.

Some news arrived via email this morning, which means the gift hubby was purchasing for me won't arrive at dealers until 8th July, and I probably won't receive her until August, but I think this gorgeous gal will be worth the wait.


She is Victoire Roux ~ Lunch at 21 from Integrity Toys East 59th range of dolls and I simply felt I had to own her, however, I didn't have any dolly budget set aside for her . . . thank heavens hubby stepped up to the plate. She comes with two sets of shoes (red and blue), normal and gloved hands as well as handbag and jewelry.

Well that's about it for today. I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!
Big hugs and thanks to all those who have stopped by. :)

  1. I'm glad to hear you're feeling better. With the crazy cold weather you guys are having down there, I'm not surprised you've been sick. Actually to be honest, the past two days have been so cold here too that I haven't felt like doing much but keeping warm and playing games. I've had a niggling cough for a week now.

    Great news on the new doll! She is a very gorgeous one. I'm glad you have been finding ones you like!

    Rest up and take things easy.

    1. Hi Alasse, funny thing is it started well before the cold weather set in, but I think it made it harder to shake. I only have the crappy dry cough now, but the head is clearer and the rotten snot has finally vacated the premises. I hope you're not getting it.

      I love her outfit so much, just wish she had more clothes to wear though.

      Hope things are all okay with you.

  2. The cold season come with the cold, not fun at all. Glad that you are feeling much better and I hope it stays like that too.
    The new lady looks so fashionable and our hobbies can sometimes be in a need of a hubby willing to give a gift. I'm ever thankful for mine being understanding. Look forward to seeing her when you get her home. Like the red colours :)
    Lovely colours on your blog! Hugs!

    1. Me too Niina, it's no fun being all stuffed up in the head.

      Yes, she certainly has great style. I think we are all lucky having understanding partners. July is not too far away and at the rate this year is flying by, she'll be here in no time at all! :)

      Thank you. Big hugs,

  4. I guess it's your turn for cold weather and germs down under. Glad you are feeling better. Is it too awful for me to say that outfit kind of reminds me of Barbie. :O

    1. Yes Barb, it had to arrive here sooner or later, just wish it was much, much later!
      Oh I wouldn't think you'd say anything awful at all, I can see how the outfit might remind you, it's similar to something a Silkstone Barbie would wear.

    1. Yes, he often surprises me. :) I am getting a little anxious to see her, but I am trying to be patient. I just love her clothes, they take me back a few years to when I wore similar styles and had the figure to match. LOL!
      Thank you, I'm all better now.

  9. Glad to read you are doing better!! I got it as well, and went to the same thing apparently D:

    Your incoming girl is gorgeous, I love that suit and outfit! Can she pose, or is her a less flexible doll?

    1. I very rarely get sick M, and I am so glad I'm well and truely over it now. Hope you are okay now too.

      Thank you, it appears these dolls are quite addictive. I have quite a few of them now and yes they pose quite well. They have several points of articulation, I will take some photos today of one and post them.
