Still trying to get caught up with recent hauls! This group is kind of all over the place. XD

First pic – cream knit hooded cardigan by maricotinha. So cozy! Their work is sometimes hard to find a good blog post for – they didn’t always document “for sale” items clearly, and they used a lot of their own work for personal photos. (Which is normal, obviously, but their personal and work photos are mixed together and it’s not always obvious which is intended to be which.) Anyway. This is gonna be great for cooler weather.

Second pic – also a cardigan by maricotinha, in a delicious dark charcoal gray. (I thought I had the link to a blog post about it, but I’ve lost it… I’ll edit this once i find it again.) I don’t usually go this dark for V, but it’s such a perfect shape and material and color that I can’t wait to play with it. ;o; <3

Third pic – a cool purple top, again by maricotinha. I’m a sucker for this color, as you might know. XD

Fourth pic – black and white striped turtleneck, yes, by maricotinha. This came paired with the Romantica* top from my previous clothing post, and I wasn’t sure who it was by at first. I came across the blog post randomly… and it’s like the only time it shows up in their photos? Like I said, their work can be hard to track. I like the decorative buttons at the neck. (Also, I WANT that mustard yellow top. Cry!)

Fifth pic – super basic turtleneck by maricotinha. I think it’s this old style, which came in a couple different shades? They made tons of different turtlenecks with various materials and types of finishing. This will come in handy for layering.

Sixth pic – elegant pleated skirtby+d. I bought it reflexively because it’s +d, but now I wonder if it’s a little too glamorous for V? I’ll have to try it out on her and see if I can make it work. Is she maybe too mousy for it? Hm.

Seventh pic – neat long military-green jacket, also by +d. Lots of buttons and details! I bought this specifically for Jer, because I think the pseudo-army look suits him.

Eighth pic – plaid button-down top by Fuga Lupinus. It’s kind of… blueberry? I feel like you don’t see this kind of color much in doll clothes, or maybe I’m just looking in the wrong places. It’s too blue to be purple and not purple enough to be blue… should be fun to mess around with in outfits, probably for Jer or Dom.

Ninth pic – ridiculousfloofy gauze top by KABA. I don’t know quite what I’m going to do with it yet. I love how it looks on their Rigel, though, and I kinda want to mimic that outfit style for Joce. He’d look cute like that, right?

Tenth pic – another velvet*paw kitty hat+scarf for my collection! This one is the “milk tea x bitter” color combo. The fur is a different type from my other two, so it’ll make for a nice change. These things are just too cute. :o~~

Onward~

Some accessories that came in a while back! It was fun to unpack all of these; the lots I won them from were treasure troves of goodies.

First & second pics – more bolo ties by Fuga Lupinus to add to the collection. There are so many color and shape combos!

Third pic – “India” keychain charm by Fuga Lupinus. This is an older style and not as iconic as their yarn pompom ones, but it’s amazingly bright and pretty. I hope I can figure out ensembles that will do it justice.

Fourth pic – soft and gentle necklace, also by Fuga Lupinus. It will probably look nice on Justyn, but I also want to try it out on V.

Fifth pic – black leather belt/harness by KABA. I have it in dark brown, too, but black might prove to be useful. Mostly for Vincynt, I guess?

Sixth pic – black leather bunny mask, also by KABA. The design has gone through a couple of different iterations. It’s a bit misshapen from being in storage, so I need to work on that. I’m not really sure how to use it yet – if it were the cat version, it’d definitely be for Joce, and if it were in natural brown instead of black, it’d be for V. But black + bunny… I’ll have to experiment.

Seventh pic – cute horn accessory, again by KABA. It’s maybe more of a mystery than the other pieces, but hopefully I’ll find a use for it. Possibly it’d work even as background filler? Who knows. That’s a problem for a future me. XD

Eighth pic – french macaron set by Citron, a most coveted piece. I have wished for these for ages… and ages… and ages… and now I finally own them, still in their adorable little package. ;o; <3

Ninth pic – another CoCoon scarf for the collection as well. I knew I would be getting it from the auction pics, but it wasn’t clear that this was, in fact, YoSD sized! It’s my first for Yos. Will I give it to MiMi first? Maybe. >_>

Tenth pic – cute “basket” by HavEy SyRop. At least, I’m pretty sure? They don’t have pics of versions with dark pink flowers, just white, but the style seems very consistent and would make sense, considering other pieces from them I’ve purchased from the same seller. There’s some color transfer on the lace, which is a shame, but it’s not a big surprise given its age. It’ll be easy to overlook once it’s in use.

And that’s it for now! The Fuga pieces and the Citron macarons are my favorites, but the whole batch is really pleasing.

Endless catch-up. This is some of the more clothes-y stuff, before we get to… clothes I haven’t even begun to think about photographing. XD

First pic – fantastic SD17 button-down shirt by girlish*kiss. As always, the details and quality of workmanship are just outstanding. I love the use of dusty pink stitching on an otherwise fairly low-key shirt; it will make this a lot of fun to style. Believe it or not, I bought this for Vincynt!

Second pic – card/gambling print shirt in pink, by KABA. I have photos of the same shirt, in a light brown, saved from a Yahoo!Japan auction in 2008. That’s how long I’ve been hankering for one! (I got my first, the dark brown version, years ago for when Dom first arrived.) Maybe I’ll find that light brown one someday, too…?

Third pic – a half-mystery! This is a neat tank by Fuga Lupinus, but there’s almost no record of its existence?? I have tons of photos saved from their website/blog/Twitter, and it only shows up in one, a little outfit layout from 2020. I’m pretty sure it’s older than that, though. When was it released? Was it part of a set? I must find out more. XD

Fourth pic – another +d jacket to add to my collection. While the construction of this is similar to others I have, it boasts blue striped sleeves and a patch on one arm. Cute. Their outfit combos are always so casually stylish; it’s wonderful. This might be interesting on Jer, because of the prominent blue.

Fifth pic – and another +d hat for the collection, too! I’ve mentioned before that their other style of ribbed knit hat, with the recognizable “ALGER/ALAN” tags, is probably the more popular version, but I adore this design. I’m thrilled to have found it in gray.

Sixth pic – silver sequin-covered kitty-ear hat by Puff & Cool. It is… something else. (And by “something else”, I mean “totally awesome”.) It’s for Joce, naturally, because who else would wear this? <3

Okay! Onward~

I am so behind on everything… ._.

Some recent stuff that arrived and has been sitting around, waiting to be processed! I just can’t seem to find enough time in the day to do all the stuff I want… so let’s take it one step at a time.

First pic – Silver Butterfly outfit set. The three different pieces can be used apart or snapped together, ie: the vest + the pants to form coveralls or the suspenders to the pants. I bought this primarily for Joce. My only gripe (and it’s not necessarily unique to SB) is that the suspenders are pleather, not real leather, so that’s a bit worrisome although they seem to be holding up okay so far.

Second pic – another beautiful bag by Antiquald Lucicca, this time in black. The quality was so nice on the other one I own that I was happy for the chance to get another. Contrary to the above set, they work in real leather, so this bag will last. I recommend their work!

Third pic & fifth pic – new glass eyes for Vincynt! These suit his Iha head much better than the old pair. Finding a good orange pair in the size he requires is tricky, so it was lucky to grab these. The pupils are much smaller, giving him a more intense stare. Not sure on the maker, sadly.

Fourth & sixth pic – new glass eyes for Joce, too, but I’m not 100% sold on them yet. The colors are wonderful and the quality is lovely, but the irises are larger than I was anticipating when in his head, giving him a bit of a doe-eyed moe-moe look. I’m not sure it does him any favors! I’m keeping them in for a while longer and see if the superior colors outweigh the iris size. I don’t know the maker here, either, which is a shame.

Seventh pic – black leather collar and wristlets by KABA, with frills. These are neat accessories, as expected. How much use they’ll get is anyone’s guess, but I do want to try them out on Vince. The effect might be interesting…?

Eighth pic – gorgeous wrap bracelet by OILSHOCK. I bought this on impulse, thinking I recognized it… spent days second-guessing myself because the listing pics distorted some of the details and made me think perhaps it wasn’t OILSHOCK after all… and it turned out my first instinct had been correct. I’m thrilled! I love their bracelets, and this one is already on Dom’s wrist. XD

More to come soon… I post more frequently to Instagram these days, so follow me there if you want, I dunno, actual doll photos once in a while. ^^;

Last of the packages for now – these things have been building up at my proxy’s and I finally had to ship them. They’re heavily weighted toward a couple of my favorite dealers, so it’s hard to complain! XD

First pic – super soft and lovely pants by Fuga Lupinus. They look like denim, but the fabric more like a brushed flannel. It’s unusual, to be sure. The bright, light blue color will be perfect for spring and summer. I’m thinking Justyn will get the most use out of them because of it. I love having more of Fuga’s pants; they’re very satisfying.

Second pic – another coveted Fuga Lupinus bolo tie to add to the collection! These are always so fought over on auction. I get why, though. This is a really lovely combination of colors, and I think it’ll mostly be for Jer.

Third pic – a bolo tie of a different sort! The poofy yarn pompom ones aren’t as prevalent as the previous type, both in terms of how many were made and how often they show up for sale. (I had to fight for this one, too!) Having an accessory like this in red will make for a nice change of pace.

Fourth pic – adorable girlish*kiss overalls. Love the pintucks and lace, plus the frilly hems. For V, naturally.

Fifth pic – pretty little brown vest, again by girlish*kiss. The fabric is brushed, like the jeans above, giving it kind of a suede-like look without actually being suede. This was a piece I’d seen on Mandarake (as an old sold-out listing) and had wished for, so it was a lucky strike that I was finally able to own one. Both V and Joce will look good in it.

Sixth pic – more girlish*kiss shorts! They’re very similar to a pair I already own, minus the color. That’s fine by me, as I love the style and having a different fabric option is always a bonus when building outfits. Plus, as with Fuga works, girlish*kiss items are always very satisfying in and of themselves.

Seventh pic – the odd piece out, this is untagged and I’m unsure of the maker. It came with the girlish*kiss stuff. I don’t know if I’ll keep it, in the end, but I figured I’d photograph it anyway and then decide. Of course, I’d love to find out where it came from, so let me know if you have any leads in the meantime!

Next up… real photos, perhaps?

Playing catch-up with arrivals, because if I get caught up, I can play with stuff. XD

First pic – a dreamy and colorful outfit set by “Mobile General Store”, apparently inspired by “melon-flavored candy drops”. It sure looks like it! I’d been eyeing this for Joce for a while and finally pulled the trigger. My plan is to pair the set with his KABA kitty-eared flight cap, but I think the components will be fun to mix and match with other pieces, too.

Second pic – a sought-after cardigan, in “rose”, from velvet*paw. I have several other cardigans in this style (gray and green), and I love them. Whether I use it for my boys, or oversized for V, this color will be a fantastic addition to the collection. Plus… it’s pink. <3

Third pic – basic underwear from noinoiDOLL. AKA, a purchase I’ve been putting off because buying underwear is boring, but after all these years, I think I might finally have enough for all of my dolls. That’s a BJD collector lifetime goal, right??

Fourth pic – cute wintry YoSD set, by an unknown dealer. There are lots of neat details to tie the outfit together, so I’m interested to see what it will look like on. It’s untagged, but I hope to figure out the maker eventually.

Fifth pic – Volks YoTenshi gown. I don’t typically buy company stuff anymore, but I’ve always liked this one. Plus, it was cheap, and I thought if nothing else, I wouldn’t have spent much on it if I needed to modify it for, say, KiKi’s use.

Sixth pic – brown straw hat by Mode Etlan. I like hats! I like their hats in particular; they’re so well-made and stylish. This will probably be for Dom primarily, but it may end up on a lot of different heads. The light color makes it feel summery, don’t you think?

Seventh pic – also a straw hat, but untagged. It’s pink! I haven’t tried it on anyone’s head yet… it feels enormous compared to the previous hat, but that may just be the style. (Orrrr it’s for Blythe, and that’ll be a pickle. XD )

Done with that batch! Time to switch gears for a while…

A little smattering of things (from DollyTeria + Instagram) that arrived weeks ago. Finally getting them done~ orz

First pic – interesting tank by OILSHOCK. I knew they made some clothing and not just accessories, but this piece was not one I was familiar with. (And since their personal blog is gone now, there’s nothing to reference.) The tag’s pretty conclusive, though! Randomly, not long after I bought this, I came across a blog that featured photos of their doll wearing this same tank, so that was a fun coincidence.

Second pic – Soylent Green boots in black. These were listed as SD size, but they’re clearly much larger and meant for SD13B (or maybe SD17?). That’s fine, though; they’ll get plenty of use just the same, as they’re a different style than the other black boots I have from them.

Third pic – and Soylent Green boots in red! I’d been (not so secretly) wishing for a pair of these to go with the Aprism dress from a while back. These are SD sized, although I would have used them for V regardless. They’ll fit her better this way, though. XD

Fourth pic – a Lush Berry dress set, to match the others I have! At the time, I had rejoiced at getting two but lamented that I didn’t have a third (for my three YoSD girls to wear together), and then this listing showed up…

Fifth pic – …along with this one. Yes, it’s a color I had already. But! It had a necklace I didn’t have (these are my first two from Lush Berry), so I had to grab it as well. The lace trim on the underskirts are slightly different, too, if that matters to anyone but me. I haven’t decided if I’ll sell one of the doubles yet (or get a YoSD twin for one of my girls?) Heh.

Sixth pic – adorable bucket hat by lovesprung. I’m a sucker for corduroy, for dusty pinks, and for hats in general. Naturally, I had to have this. <3

That’s all… for now!

A mishmash of things arrived, smooshing together a couple of DollyTeria orders and a Doll Up! order. (Not that the distinction matters that much, since Doll Up is just a sub-store of DollyTeria, but whatever. I’m still hoping they start syncing their stock and websites a little better.) Anyway!

First pic – “chef” pants by +d, in a black polyester fabric. It feels like a windbreaker for legs; it’s a very interesting choice. The boys will have to share these, of course.

Second pic – lovely “monotone print flared skirt”, also by +d. I don’t usually go for such a stark scheme for V, but I wasn’t going to pass up the listing, either. While it’s tempting to keep any outfit with this skirt entirely monochrome (and I might do a version of that at some point, just because), I think it’ll be fun to pair it with colors instead. Despite the black and white print, the fabric is lightweight, so it feels oddly spring-y.

Third pic – black leather shorts by KABA. Sadly, mine didn’t include the belt, so I’ll have to find something else to use if I want the “suspenders” look. I’d originally passed over these without really paying attention to the photos, since DollyTeria had them listed as being made from pleather. After I glanced at them again later, I saw the back tag and realized they would, in fact, be made from real leather (one of KABA’s recognizable traits). They’ll be Vincynt’s.

Fourth pic – tank top by your my baby. It’s, uh, sized for Unoa, but I don’t regret purchasing it. Stuff from your my baby shows up few and far between, so I had to snag it while I can. (I slept on an earlier set months ago and still regret it, wah.) The text on the front is certainly… interesting. I’m going to put it on one of the Yo girls and see if I can make it work. XD

Fifth pic – older YoSD set by Lush Berry. It’s cute! Like their other works, this top was available in several colors, I think. The listing pic made it seem very crimson, but it’s more of a raspberry in person (which I like better). It’ll be a fun addition to my collection.

Sixth pic – yellow Converse-style sneakers from CooKids. How could I not get these?! They’re bright yellow, therefore they are great. XD

Seventh pic – cat-eared flying cap by KABA. It’s the brown leather version (there have been several others). This was purchased for Joce specifically. I might have preferred the black for him, given a choice, but I have been waiting for one, any one, to show up for a while now. My plan is to do an airship AU outfit for him at some point. *^^*

Eighth pic – “Asmodeus” horns by KHEM, the “petit” version in “Antique”. I’ve been eyeing various sheep horns for V for a while, and then these showed up… I hesitated for a while, then finally pulled the trigger. I think the smaller size will suit her tiny face better, and I’m excited about the color matching possibilities to the Silver Butterfly stuff I got a couple weeks ago. Building outfits around these will be exciting, I hope!

Ninth pic – bowtie pillow by Ronshuka Couture. It’s cute! This maker isn’t really on my radar because I don’t own the type of dolls they design for, but a pillow like this is pretty free-size. (Although DollyTeria had it labeled as being for Obitsu 11, of all sizes, so that’s a weird one.) I mostly got it because it was bundled with this…

Tenth pic – crescent moon pillow by girlish*kiss. Scream. These are such lovely, delicate things, and I’m tickled, well, pink to finally own one. As always, the beadwork and detailing is stellar.

And that’s that! Kind of a random bunch of stuff, from the different sizes to the mix of clothing and accessories. Maybe that makes it more interesting, though?

Sorry, not sorry! XD

This is the other half of the recent auction winnings… There was more besides, but some of it I knew I wasn’t going to keep (doubles, company clothes) and some of it I haven’t decided on yet, so I figured I would hold off on photos for the time being. This stuff, though; this stuff I know is staying!

First pic – drapey Fuga Lupinus cardigan, in gray. I have the same cardigan in black, as well. As before, I love the sewn details and tag style, and I can’t wait to use it.

Second pic – cool patterned pants, again by Fuga Lupinus. How could I notlove these? They’re made from a great fabric, with a great shape, and lots of extra fun little details, like the d-rings for attaching keychains. They’ll definitely be a blast to style.

Third pic – an older mod jacket by Silver Butterfly, with detachable fur-trimmed hood. I’m trying to be determined not to let Dom steal this one first; he has plenty of other coats! I want to let Jer have it for once. ;o;

Fourth pic – beautiful blue-gray cardigan, also by Silver Butterfly. The loose knit fabric is dreamy!

Fifth pic – this dyed tank top/dress is also wonderfully romantic! It’s a bit rumpled from storage, but it has such a fantastic look and feel regardless. I think it will suit V’s forlorn look perfectly, so I’m really excited about styling it.

Sixth pic – gorgeous long lace tube dress. The concept is simple, but the combination of fabrics really makes it stand out. It’s another piece that I think will be fun to build around.

Seventh pic – dress? top? I think this was intended for layering, maybe, or was part of a set. As usual with Silver Butterfly’s stuff, detailed photos… don’t really exist. XD

Eighth pic – A-line dress with tons of great details. The floral fabric is actually quite vibrant when viewed from the inside; the layer of fabric over it is what dulls the colors down, making for a very dreamy effect. Even in its current somewhat-wrinkled state, it’s a beautiful piece.

I’ll be honest, this is a very satisfying group. I love both Fuga Lupinus and Silver Butterfly, and the textures, colors, and fabrics used in all of these are just pleasing to the eye and hand. I hope I can come up with some worthy ensembles to photograph! ;o; <3

So! Back in August, I won a ridiculous(andridiculously cool) lot of stuff that, it turned out, I was able to (fairly confidently) trace back to a particular doll blog, due to the specific mix of dealer pieces they’d owned and photographed. It was pretty neat! When I won the auction, I had been under the impression that they were selling the last of their doll collection after getting out the hobby years ago.

Only… it was just the beginning. XD

Recently, they added several more listings with tons of additional things I was hankering after, which also provided further evidence that I had the provenance correct. Knowing who the previous owner was helped immensely in identifying some of the items from the listings! It was also lots of fun to see how they had styled and used the pieces, plus there’s just the good ol’ dash of nostalgia.

Anyway. So I got a big (and I mean big; it was nearly a doll-sized box full of clothes) package from my proxy the other day. The previous owner was a collector after my own heart. ;o; <3

First pic – gorgeous Lush Berry dress, still in package. This is one of their classic styles, and I’ve been eyeing it every time one came up for sale. The Y!J listing photos weren’t comprehensive, so I guessed that there was a Lush Berry item in there based on the package design, but I didn’t realize it’d be this one. It was a lucky surprise!

Second pic – also a fun surprise, this is a simple but beautiful dress from Tremolo (I think they went through a few name changes). I’ve been trying to get some of their stuff for ages! This was separated from the rest of the set, sadly, but I’m grateful to have it at all.

Third pic – WORKSHOP dress/top in black, with a very interesting texture. I don’t know if I’ll use it much – maybe for Joce? – or even end up keeping it, but it is neat nonetheless.

Fourth pic – also by WORKSHOP, a lovely little white blouse with lace and pintucks. It could use some help to get it to lay flat after being in storage forever, but it’s quite cute. As it’s not tagged, this is one of the instances where being familiar with the previous owner’s blog came in handy!

Fifth pic – another surprise; this top turned out to be from a your my baby set. I would love to own the rest of it someday! This dealer hasn’t released many things over the years, so it’s wonderful to have another of their pieces.

Sixth pic – plaid skirt by Maricotinha. I am a sucker for plaid, I am a sucker for purple, and I am a sucker for Maricotinha’s works. So. Yeah. It’ll be on V eventually! XD

Seventh pic – a grail item! This reversible balloon skirt by Aprism has been a dream of mine for over a decade. It’s so soft and floofy and adorable, and I can’t believe I finally own it. For some reason, I think of this as very emblematic of Aprism (+ Citron). <3

Eighth pic – yes, it’s another velvet*paw kitty hat+scarf. Since it’s “ash” gray this time, that makes it totally different from the other… three… that I own. Right? Right. And anyway, it was part of a lot and I wasn’t going to say “no” to it once I had it in my hands, so there it is.

This group of things were really all over the place, huh? The second part is a little more cohesive, so stay tuned~

A fun Yahoo!Japan package arrived yesterday, joining a tiny DollyTeria package that had been delivered a few days before. I was pretty excited about some of these pieces, so I had to get them processed right away. XD

First pic – “Nirvana” pattern open collar shirt by Euphoria. So cute. This is the fun beach-y type of shirt I like for Justyn, and I’m actually (sort of) looking forward to warmer weather so I can justify putting him in it.

Second pic – “Mount Fuji” shirt by Yucca. In fact, I love this type of shirt so much for Justyn that I found him another one, too. The design on the back is fantastic and so unique.

Third pic – navy & white striped top by Mugendou. I haven’t decided if this will stay yet; the design is cute and the quality is high, as expected, but it might be a little off from my boys’ usual style. I’ll give it some more thought.

Fourth pic – “DC-6 dolman tunic in gray” by velvet*paw. This is another one I’m a little unsure about. It’s an adorable style, but I don’t know who would wear it; the gray + black combo is too dark for Justyn, and too cutesy for the other boys. Maybe oversized, on Joce…?

Fifth pic – something of a surprise, a subtly-striped knit top by WORKSHOP. This was part of a lot listing that didn’t offer many details on the dealer names. I thought perhaps it was an older Plug style, but it’s clearly tagged inside with the old WORKSHOP ribbon. I definitely want to try to make use of this; it has some neat detailing in that the hems purposely rely on the nature of the fabric to curl, to give it dimension. It’s a cool effect in person.

Sixth pic – saurel suspender pants by JAM. I. LOVE. These. I couldn’t explain to you why, but I do. I’ve been hankering for them for a while – the dealer has made several variations with different types of straps – and I was ecstatic to find a pair pop up on Y!J. They’ll probably be for Dom because of course they are, but look at that crazy crotch design. How could I pass it up? XD?

Seventh pic – a much sought-after keychain/accessory by Fuga Lupinus. This has somewhat similar colors to the other one I have, but other details are different. For example, it has a little bell attached to the bottom! (The package kept chiming while I was opening it up.) I would love to collect more of these someday, but as with most Fuga accessories, they’re hard to come by.

Eighth pic – another Choi-Cafe knit kitty-eared cardigan, this time in pink. Just gotta collect ‘em all!

Ninth pic – YoSD high-neck tunic “b:TT- 2 in lilac”…

Tenth pic – and “b:TT- 3 in navy blue” by velvet*paw. Finally, some of these shirts for my little girls! I want to get the pink one, too, although a third color of any type would be okay, I think. These shirts look sweet on their own or layered under other tops, so they’ll be interesting to play with.

And that’s all (for now). ^^~*

The other, actually recent, arrivals. It’s kind of a mixed bag!

First pic – stylish and fun jumpsuit by JAM (maybe K-all?). This was listed on DollyTeria a long while back, before I was familiar with the dealer, and I hemmed and hawed over picking it up anyway, and it sold out. So when it reappeared – whether it’s the exact same one, or coincidentally just the same style – I didn’t want to wait and miss out again. I have some other jumpsuits, but they feel more like “Jer’s”… this one, I think, will be primarily for Dom. Kinda wonder what Justyn would look like in it, though…

Second pic – “sign (white x pink)” cut & sew by Euphoria and cor leonis. I’ve been hankering for one of this shirts since they debuted! This color combo probably wouldn’t have been my first choice, but maybe it’s better this way. The hot pink printing will require some extra thought when it comes to outfit building, because it’s a little outside of my usual stuff. I do like how they show it on an SD girl, so maybe with the pink Soylent Green boots…?

Third pic – saurel pants by Sugar Hospital. I’m glad I found these! DollyTeria’s listing photos were lousy and didn’t clearly show off the SH tag. I’d actually bookmarked that post ages ago in the hopes that I’d come across them eventually. Sugar Hospital’s stuff is amazingly nice, so it’s a shame that they’re on hiatus (maybe permanently closed)? I’m still hoping to find more…

Fourth pic – beautiful dress set by girlish*kiss. It’s older than their current social media posts, sadly, so there aren’t any modeled photos available. It might actually be a little too dressy for V, but I’m going to try it on her anyway. I have a hard time passing up anything by this dealer. XD

Fifth pic – leggings! I don’t know if I’ll keep the polka dot ones, but the floral print pair is a new addition to my Lush Berry collection. (Yes, it is actually slightly different in color to my others.) They’re just really useful to have.

Sixth pic – “paper knit panama hat” by Idea of Dusk. I’m not familiar with the dealer, but the packaging is very clear! Another fun and stylish piece that will probably end up on Dom for spring or summer.

Seventh pic – sweet little hat by & Eming. It’s this style and fabric, but in SD size. I have a couple of their YoSD hats, and they are precious. I know they made a lot of other styles in various colors, so although they seem to have left the BJD world behind, I hope I can find more of their hats someday. <3

And that’s that!

Opening up another package and I legitimately have no idea what’s inside it. Let’s open it and find out together.
