In Which We Expand to Facebook

That's right. In amongst our flurry of posting activity (trying to make ourselves feel un-lazy) -- we had the idea to make a Facebook page. This is how "the kids"/everyone communicates today.

If we have a FB page, people can become fans and see when our blog updates via their FB homepage. Just like Liberty Jane and many of the handmade sellers we feature here. So heck, we'll give it a try.


Visit today and become a fan! We will post links to our blog posts, Youtube videos, etc. on that wall and then you can see them quickly and easily in one place. Hopefully this isn't redundant to the blog -- but instead serves as an easier way to "follow" us if you use Facebook.

If you are a seamstress -- feel free to be a "fan" so people can easily see your Facebook page as well when they check out who our "fans" are.

In addition, if you'd like to post on our wall, feel free to do so. You can tell us about what you make for dolls (and if you sell things), show us pictures of your dolls and collections, ask us questions, share ideas and opinions, etc. etc. Feel free to use it as a "discussion" page. Just make sure it is appropriate-- no bad words or insults please.


Let us know what you think of this new idea!


And p.s. -- We just posted about "Three Dresses..." with Karen, Noelle, and Zoe a couple moments ago so be sure to check that out! :-)

ETA: If you are selling dolly clothing or accessories (either AG-sized or KK-sized) and you have a Facebook page for your business-- please tell us so we can "Like" your page and people who visit our page can see our "Likes" and see your page. Hope this makes sense....

I want to become your friend but my mom won't let my get facebook.

Nora and Maple said...

That's okay! You can comment here at anytime. We will still be reading the blog comments and responding to them. :)

Couldn't care less about Facebook, but whatever floats your boat... As long as it doesn't change the blog!

Nora and Maple said...

Haha, yep the blog itself will keep going as normal. No changes there. ;-)

I'm glad to hear that you're keeping the blog - I'm not on Facebook and so many have abandoned their blogs in favour of it.

BTW, your pics of modern Felicity have just enabled a purchase here. Just after I'd talked her down from another doll. I curse your photog skills, etc. ;)

Nora and Maple said...

You're welcome Debbie! Haha. ;)

Modern Felicity is so pretty. We really prefer her in modern clothing rather than colonial.

And no we won't abandon the blog -- while others have switched to other mediums we find this is still the best place for our type of content. :)

Just wanted to say thank you for the kind feedback. I'm, too, am glad you aren't abandoning your blog. Although I have Maiden Flight Clothing on facebook, my favorite mode is still the blog (and besides, you do such a great job of blogging!!)

I don't want to hijack this love in, but can I ask how you got Felicity's pin curls smoothed down so perfectly? Did you use steam?

Nora and Maple said...

Thanks Nanci-- we love your clothes and have "Liked" your Facebook page. :)

Don't worry about hijacking Deb-- you have an interesting question. Here you can see both of our Felicity dolls:

For this post they are both modern-- and we didn't do a thing to their pin curls besides brush them into and under the hair, essentially hiding them. If we want them again, we just fish them out.

I am sure some people use a ceramic straightener on doll hair (very low setting and only on the best-quality wigs) but we didn't find the need to do that for the pin curls.

It is pretty easy to brush out/hide the pin curls. It is actually much more difficult to keep them in place looking good.

Hope this helps!

Thanks so much!

my precious cargo said...

Thank you so much for "liking" us...so thrilling! That you even know who we are is so very exciting!

Deb said...

Thanks, Nora. The steamer would make me nervous - I'm glad that we don't have to do that.

Felicity is ready and waiting with the AGP Concierge. As an aside, the PS told me today that the stores have been told to pull F&E from the shelves in mid-March.
