This is what happens . . . when you have too much time on your hands. You . . .
1. spend too much time on eBay browsing.
2. spend too much money on dolls.
3. spend too much time waiting.
But oh what fun it is finding beautiful dolls to bring home to the fold!

My latest purchase was from the same person I bought Agatha from. This doll wasn't a bargain, however just like Agatha, she was very fairly priced for a doll that is selling elsewhere for way above her original retail price tag of US$169. One is currently listed for US$279, another for US$350, both are plus shipping!
She is a Wilde Wedding Lizette Sultry & Serene Bridesmaid doll, made by the Tonner doll company for Wilde Imagination. Released in 2016 as a UFDC Convention Exclusive, in a limited edition of 200.
Lizette has non removable mink wigged hair and gorgeous inset hazel eyes. She is dressed in a gorgeous black net evening gown embroidered in dark pink / purple and gold and adorned with a sequin flower on the waist and shoulders. The same design sequin flower is also featured in Lizette's hair.
Earrings and faux black leather shoes as well as pair of glitter pantyhose complete the look. She comes with her stand in her box and shipper.
Lizette is Ellowyne's friend and will make a perfect companion for mine when they both finally arrive. I adore her skin colour, smokey eyeshadow and her luscious lip colour. I think Lizette will also prove to be the perfect inspiration for a beautiful new gown for my Ellowyne . . . what do you think?
Yes, I agree. She will be a wonderful inspiration! You found a beautiful girl, no wonder you invited her. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I also totaly agree with the list on the beginning of the post. ;)
Hi Joanna! Now we can't go to the hairdresser, the beauty parlour, or out for in-restaurant dining I keep myself relaxed this way. LOL! I'm glad you agree I'm doing the right thing.

Of course you are! I'm doing the same, so we can't be both wrong. xD
DeleteI hope all yours are arriving okay. I have had one doll completely disappear, never to be seen again and another parcel with the four books from San Francisco is finally coming to Australia via Tokyo in Japan!!
DeleteThis doll is stunning! Her make up is on point and her dress seems very luxurious. In the stock photo she looks very regal. I also love the background they've used, it contrast very well with the doll.
ReplyDeleteThank you MC, I think she is too. The dress certainly suits her skin colour and regal is a lovely way to describe it. Me too, it makes her really stand out.

Such a lovely purchase!
ReplyDeleteThank you PP. :)
DeleteLol, I've been falling victim to EBay too, followed by the "Why is my parcel taking so looooooong!"
ReplyDeleteI had a parcel take 3 days to get here from Queensland and another take two weeks to get here from twenty minutes away! It's doing my head in.
At least you're finding some really cool stuff.
Hi Rachael,
DeleteThe books I purchased 28th July, sat at San Francisco airport from 1st August, but only caught a flight this morning! Now they could go anywhere or even sit in Perth for two weeks before coming to Melbourne and taking another week to reach me like my two dolls that arrived on Friday. This virus has a lot to answer for!!
Yes, at least they are still arriving and I am having fun when they do. :)

Oh gosh! Are you still waiting for those! I've got the Helen Kish book and it's beautiful and the Theirault books are always lovely. I hope you get them soon!
DeleteYep, still waiting. I did receive one Theriault book which I ordered from them and came direct from their printer in Hong Kong, but that was delivered via DHL courier. Which reminds me I should share that sometime soon. :)
DeleteHola Ellowyne va a estar encantada de tener una amiga con la que poder jugar, Lizette es muy hermosa y tiene un vestido espectacular.
ReplyDeleteBesos
Hola Maribel,
DeleteEstoy seguro de que lo hará. Creo que serán muy buenos amigos.
Grandes abrazos,

Such a beautiful dress!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mia. :)
DeleteLizette is beautiful Sandi, she has a gorgeous skin tone, I'm very happy for you that you were able to get her without paying those very high prices you mention. I agree it's lovely to bring home new dolls, and you're obviously enjoying yourself so your time on Ebay was well spent ;) and someone has to help the economy, so you're just doing your part :D
ReplyDeleteBig hugs xxx
Thank you Sharon. I am feeling quite privileged right now to own such a beautiful doll, I seem to be in the right place at the right time lately. :)
DeleteHahaha! That's a spin that I never really thought about . . . I'll remember to tell hubby that the next time he brings up the subject of my spending all my pocket money on dolls.
Big hugs,

Ooh yes, I know that all too well. I just ordered two doll horses, even though they are too small for Barbies...
ReplyDeleteBut Lizette is fabulous and I'm sure you will be happy with her (and your Ellowyne too)! I love her color scheme, make-up and wonderful, amber eyes. Gorgeous purchase, congratulations!
Well I'm feeling much better knowing I'm not alone in my spending Chiriann. :) Doll horses sound interesting, I only have one BJD horse. Do you have many horses?
DeleteThank you so much, I'm sure I will.
Big hugs,

No, those are my first doll-related horses :). I just saw them aaaand decided, that I need them. They are pretty simple, not articulated, definitely too small for fashion dolls and too big for nendoroids... But they look happy standing on my shelf now :). Hugs, hugs!
DeleteAnd I'm sure they will come in handy for props in the stories you post as well Chiriann. :)
DeleteOh I adore everything about her Linda, I was so fortunate to find her for the price I paid. Jeff has a great eye for pretty dolls and he always prices his dolls fairly, so I shall always be keeping a watch on his site.
ReplyDeleteI keep saying "no more", and then another doll catches my eye . . . I really am so hopeless.
Big hugs,

Oh wow, she's gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI thought so too RM! :)
DeleteLizette is gorgeous, I suppose all the more as she was a convention doll. I have to admit that I'm doing a little bit of shopping myself. I'm glad that I don't have to wait as long for my packages to arrive!
ReplyDeleteThanks Barb, I have just one more Tonner to go and then I shall have to put the brakes on and get back to conserving the pennies. :)
DeleteYes, you are very fortunate in regards to shopping, less waiting time and less shipping costs. I hope you are having as much fun as I am. :)
Big hugs,

Oh, wow, I'm in LOVE! This is one beautiful lady and those dark purple colors is just amazing! I think that I should browse a bit more on eBay. A bit nervous about the shopping experience though, so that is why I am mostly on the Swedish site instead. And now I am waiting for Amazon to open a Swedish site...more to browse! So much fun! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you Niina. Perhaps you should, there are some really gorgeous girls out their right now just waiting for new mothers. :) If you pay by PayPal you shouldn't have any worries.
DeleteBig hugs,

Big congratulations! She is stunning and that dress she is wearing - wow - it's gorgeous. I love the style and colour. I hope she doesn't take too long to arrive to you. I can totally see why you got her. And I have to admit, I did not know Ellowyne had friends that were released!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alasse. I have been very fortunate when browsing lately. Oh me too, I am really looking forward to her arrival. :) Neither did I, but we learn something different every day here on blogspot. LOL!
