Merry Christmas from Tessa

Gracelyn June at Summer's End

Summer is coming to an end. Gracelyn wanted a few photos taken before the flowers go away. Gracelyn loves her puppy which was a gift from Trish. She is wearing a dress made by Darla's Delights.

Gracelyn is a 13" Little Darling sculpted by Dianna Effner and painted by Geri Uribe.

Long Awaited Lana Girls

After a 15 month wait, my long awaited Lana girls have arrived. I an amazed at how beautifully painted these girls' eyes are. They are so incredibly detailed. 

Tessa Jane

Jade wearing the wig she arrived in and also a short Roxie wig. Which do you like better?

Tessa and Jade are both 13" Little Darlings sculpted by Dianna Effner and painted by Lana Dobbs.

Brynn is Ready for Summer

Brynn is ready to celebrate summer with her yellow and green dress by Darla's Delights. 

Brynn was sculpted and painted by Dianna Effner. She is a 13" Little Darling.

Introducing Brynn Elise--a Little Darling Painted by Dianna Effner

This Little Darling is my dream doll. I saw photos of a red head little gal that I adored. I sent the photos to Dianna and asked her to paint a doll similar to the photos. It was a long wait, but I am delighted to introduce Brynn Elise.

The first photo on the left is the one I sent to Dianna. The photo to the right is Brynn right out of the box. I couldn't wait...I took her photo with my camera phone.

 

Here Brynn is wearing an heirloom dress made by the talented Trish.

Brooke with her Beret

This lovely outfit was made by Magda in France. I love her creations and it seems to suit Brooke and her blue eyes.

Brooke is a Effner Little Darling painted by Joyce Mathews.

Alyssia Kaye as a Red Head

One of my favorite things about the Effner Little Darlings is their ability to change wigs. It gives them so many beautiful looks. Here is Alyssia who was painted by Joyce Mathews wearing a carrot Expressions Miranda wig.

Shelby and Her Sisters

Just a few comparison photos to show how Shelby fits in with her sisters...

 Alyssia and Shelby. Alyssia was painted by Joyce Matthews. Shelby was painted by Nelly Valentino.

 Brooke Marie, who was also painted by Joyce Matthews with Shelby Faith.

And finally, Gracelyn June and Shelby Faith pose together. Gracelyn was painted by Geri Uribe.

Shelby Finds Some Clothes

Shelby found something to wear that accentuates her pretty eyes. It's a combination of several outfits from Darla's Delight.

Shelby is my first #2 face mold Effner Little Darling. I was a little unsure how I would like this face mold, but in person, I'm quite fond of it. Shelby is so unique looking. Thank you Nelly.

Shelby Faith

Shelby Faith arrived today. She was painted by the talented Nelly Valentino. She has the most amazing aqua eyes. Nelly had sent me photos of her, and I didn't immediately bond with the photos. When I opened her box, I was stunned. She was so much prettier than I expected. Here is what she looked like shortly after arriving. I had to take her photos before even finding some clothes for her to wear. So here is sweet Shelby Faith.

Gracelyn Shows Off Her Wild Side

I ordered my first Tibettain Mohair wig. I wasn't sure what to expect. It was pretty fluffy when it arrived. So I wet it, and put some hair gel on it. After it dried, it looks a lot better. It's still a little wild, especially for innocent Gracelyn, but fun.

The wig was made by Michelle Hardy and is Maize in color. Click here for her website. She has quite a variety of wigs from which to choose.
