After waiting since early December, I finally got the three Dollheart Fukubukuro bags I'd bought.  This is my second year trying out this little event, and I always come away with something nice.  I was pretty lucky all of the bags this year, but the SD Girl bag was definitely the best; my favourite item obtained was the purple and black dress piece from the Dark Rania outfit.  Sometimes Dollheart stuff is a tad small for Volks SD10 girls, but thankfully the lacing in the front was a little adjustable.

Of course, pictures were necessary.



Since I liked that dress so much, I was finally prompted to buy a pair of shoes for Lily that would match a bit better than the default brown boots from the Suiseiseki fullset.

I love the little buttons in the back and on top.



There are some other items that I from the Dollheart bags that are super cute as well, but some of them need matching items.  Once I get them, I'll post more pictures. My MSD girls certainly need some attention.

Speaking of MSDs, I am currently changing the look of my Rosette Fir completely.  She'd been in her fullset outfit, wig, etc for nearly a year.  I gave her a new face-up recently, but it didn't come out too well. Hopefully I will have time to practice before school starts again.

This morning I awoke to a surprise doll-sized box in the post. 

In mid-November, I finished paying off a Volks Heath I had on a short one-month layaway.  The seller was awesome and shipped the doll out a few days later (just before Thanksgiving).  Considering that the doll was coming from Belgium, I figured it might take a little extra time, but when two and a half weeks passed, so I contacted the seller and the post office.  The post office said that the package never arrived in the US, and the seller wasn't given any information.  Oh well, customs probably has it somewhere, I won't worry for now.

Surprise surprise, I walk out of my room this morning, and there's a box.  :D

I didn't have time to take any pictures, but at least he has an outfit for the most part.  The default face-up isn't nearly as bad in person, but I'll still be giving him a new one once finals are done later this week.  This doll was bought with the intention of being the friend of Lily from my previous post.  I was wondering how they'd look together in person, and luckily they are quite adorable together.  Can't wait until I get a better face-up on Heath though so that I can take pictures of them!

And on a completely different note, I finally sold a doll.  I'd bought a Fairyland Chloe Amethyst fullset back in August, which arrived mid-November.  As much as I loved this doll, she came at a very stressful time for me.  There really isn't much point in keeping something that carries baggage, so I decided to sell her.  Hopefully the next person will enjoy her more that I got to!



Maybe someday I'll buy this sculpt again, since it is a really gorgeous doll (and she photographs so nicely!).  But for now...well, Volks Charlotte has my attention.
