Hello again readers!
Just wanted to keep you up-to-date on any comments and questions that I should probably address here about the July 2009 Doll Giveaway!
1) Thank you to Terri of Etsy shop terristouch for announcing this July Doll Giveaway on the American Girl Playthings Board. It's good to know more people are reading the blog and might be lured into buying handmade!
2) The new "younger" or more "innocent" face mold began to appear in the late summer/ early fall of 2008. Why it is being used, we don't know. How often? We don't know that either. But we do know that it has appeared on more than one #25. Sorry we don't know more. It is kind of a mystery to us, but people on the boards may know a lot more than we do. :)
Lastly, I wanted to address the hard work of the Melody Valerie Couture Studio. Please see their latest post here for proof that they can work dolly miracles. Penny found a picture of a lovely 1950s party dress and asked the MVC Studio if it was possibly reproducible in doll scale- and not in certain colors. (Because Penny is really quite picky sometimes.) And waaaalaaaa! Faster than you can say Red Roses Ran Rampant Recently - the dress was made and ready to be shipped!
They do really work miracles at Melody Valerie Couture Studio and we highly recommend that you look at their spring/summer line of dresses at their Etsy shop here. Before you know it, these dresses will be sold out and the new fall/winter line will be released! So act now!
