Hi Suzette, I missed the show. I'm too broke and too busy doing dolls for Christmas gifts.

Hi there Kathy and all!
Yes'um, those gorgeous, perfect for the holiday season, Holiday Toast
dolls
are now in stock. However, I haven't shipped them out to those who also
have
the Winter Mist fashion on order with me so the doll/s and fashion could
be
combined into one shipment, saving those customers some shipping money. Winter Mist didn't get to the Integrity warehouse until this past
Wednesday
and they are in transit to me now. They should be here by next Tuesday or Wednesday.
I have to comment here on the presentation of the Holiday Toast dolls.
They
are another example of the thought that is being put into even the
packaging
of Integrity's Candis now. The dolls have their great red crystal
earrings
in their ears, with the exception of the Asian. Her's are packaged separately in the box. I had the occasion to talk to Jason right after
they
arrived, so I asked him why they did this. He said that he was afraid
that
in shipping it would make the Asian's very short hair stick out on the
sides
and look funny. Thusly, they decided to package her earrings separately
in
the box and let the collectors decide whether or not they even want to use them. The doll really doesn't need them, as flat as the hair is to the
sides
of her head.
Jason also remembered how many times in the past collectors have
complained
about excessive, gunky gel in different dolls' hair that has to be washed
out
by those who play with them. Consequently on the the Danish, Hispanic and Swedish dolls, they put the hair in a net for shipping.
I am most impressed by the thought that is being put into the packaging of the dolls now. I am also grateful that Integrity cares enough about their collectors to put this much thought into it! I would encourage you to
drop
them a note on their customer service e-mail to let them know you
appreciate
their efforts as well. Just as collectors need to voice valid complaints,
we
also need to extend a pat on the back when one is due.
BTW, Kathy, did I miss something? PINK hair?????? Love your "Suess"ette. Boy, funky hair colors are really in for dolls now, LOL!
I'm leaving town this afternoon for a show in Houston tomorrow. I know
that
I'll see a couple of list members for sure and am looking forward to it!
Have a good weekend!
Suzanne

<< My, we are all so quiet here. Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and are looking forward to the holidays coming up. Hey Suzanne, any sign of the Holiday Toast dolls? I know a few dealers seem to have them already. Also looking forward to your exclusive coat outfit. I NEED a doll for Christmas. Not like anyone else is getting me one. LOL. I found out that the owner of one of the other doll lists I am on is going to be in town for the holidays, and is coming to visit me, so I
have
been frantically cleaning my doll room, and trying to get a doll done for her. At least my doll room looks pretty spiffy now. I am still working
on
dolls for convention, and I did get this one done.

Her name is "Suess"ette. Keep in mind Grayson is two, and I have read
"
One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" waaay to many times recently.
LOL
I am not sure if I have asked, but is anyone from this list coming to convention? I know the table host for the table I finally found still
has
some room, so if anyone needs a place to sit ( and is willing to sit
beside
me, even after I have dyed my hair pink) I would be glad to pass your
name
along. I would love to find a time to meet up with anyone that is going
to
be there anyway. Let me know. This is my one and only convention, so I have to make it count!
