Randall:
It arrived and it's wicked! I forgot about the groceries when I drove up and saw the package on my doorstep (left frozen stuff thawing, lol), and sat and examined my prize in detail. What a thrill to have this piece - the skirt and top beautifully lined, the pleats sized right, the saucy little flower on the shoulder - so much pizzazz - then the hat, I've never seen anything like it nor anything I've liked so much - the snappy little purse, shiny with contrasting black and red, along with a little pearl snap - the jewelry, just lovely, the shoes, just right - EVERYTHING - JUST BLOODY BEAUTIFUL! Then I got looking at the amazing packaging - a beautiful silver and white box with a nifty card on the back that labels the item and is signed by both you, the designer, and Anja... so many details that answer just about any question one would have about this item.
Well, I have one problem - I DON'T WANT TO OPEN IT AND RUIN IT! Oh mi gawd, I NEVER leave anything in its box. And I won't this either but, oh woe is me, I hate to do it. First time ever for this dolly player! I ginergly removed the tape on the sides (thank you thank you thank you for not packaging like Mattel) and was happy to see things pinned and not sewn, so if, no I mean when, I remove everything I'll have the option of putting it back if I want. I'm going to photograph it first so I'll know exactly how it should be positioned.
Then I'm going to try it on the gals I love. Then I'm going to skite to a few people that I have THE exclusive Candi Chat fashion (I'm never snobby like that, really, but this one makes me wanna, I just can't help myself).
Thank you, Randall, for your dedication to this project, it feels like a gift. And thank you to Anja for starting the group and for continuing to facilitate it.
p.s. Please everyone, let me know your reactions, it's too exciting not to share.
