An Unhappy Valentine & Five More Dollies

Here are the final dolls for tomorrow's update, as well as two new prints.

These four ladies are all  between 10 - 13".

The Unhappy Bride is fully poseable with a wire armature, and stands 16" (41 cm).

It would appear that groom met an unfortunate end, but at least she's sentimental enough to have  held on to a souvenir.

 
She also stars in one of my two new Valentine's Day prints.  Now, as you might have garnered from my blog, I am very much in love with my dear Mr. L., and yet I have a morbid streak that  compels me to flout the warm, sweet sentiments of Valentine's for stories of heartbreak and love gone horribly awry.  Abandoned young girls?  Eviscerated grooms?  Oh dear....

My Bloody Valentine

And poor little Dafia got all dressed up and put out her best tea set for her special one, only to be...

Stood Up

 

But hey, at least I observed the convention of red and pink, right? 

*Some important changes to my Shipping & Insurance Policies* 

  Every January, Canada Post rewards its faithful customers with a rate increase, so my shipping rates have gone up by about a dollar for dolls (this is still slightly less than the actual cost of shipping + materials).  Also, I will no longer automatically insure items under $175 shipped outside of Canada.  Items shipped outside of Canada are insured up to $100, so please contact me as soon as you purchase if you would like to purchase additional insurance ($2).  Items over $175 will automatically be insured for the full amount.  Also, tracking is available within the US for an additional cost; please contact me if you would like tracking.

Wow - I think the Unhappy Bride is one of my most favorite dolls of yours. Don't lose that morbid streak! Also, for some reason all my favorite dolls of yours have black hair. Makes them even lovelier.

[Brianne]

Oh, they are all so gorgeous! I hope I can snag one tomorrow :)

Sarah, they are adorable. Trudy has the funniest little face, oh I just want to squeeze her!!
Sue has.. well, a "rockin" hairstyle, those two curls are great!
dafia looks SO miffed in that shot.. it's great :-D

I have to be up at 5:30 am I think, to catch the update. lol. Or 9 am, I'm having trouble with the time conversions :-P

[Black-Eyed Suzie]

Oh no!! Thats a completely uncivilized hour. When you figure out the time conversion, could you let me know the difference? Im trying to figure out a time that works for everyone - North Americans, Europeans, Australians....is it possible? Ill try!

It appears 5:30am was still not early enough :-( Thwarted.... yet again!

I love the toes on the unhappy bride and of course the heart too! I too got here late...it was 2:00 P.M. PST as I thought "darn!" missed the lovelies again in your Etsy shop. I may just have to go for some of the portraits...those are lovely too.

The sad little bride doesnt even look that sad! Maybe its just my poor eyesight, but she seems content.

Or maybe she had something to do with his demise? Hmmmm....

[Sonia]

Oh I love the bride...and all your dolls..I mean who doesnt...
