Hi all! Popping up very briefly to let you know that heavy phone, e-mail and shipping abound around here right now, especially since the arrival of the first shipment of the FR dolls. Consequently, I have a slight backlog that is being worked through.

I'm sure you've all seen various and sundry pics around the net. These dolls are simply wonderful! If you haven't seen the review on www.dollsearcher.com on the Suited Luxury Adele, take a look. I don't recall ever seeing anyone there give a doll a "perfect 10" before!

I had someone tell me today that she was told that I was sold out of the dolls. This is not the case, as yet. I am simply temporarily out of stock on all but Lush Life at the moment because only a portion of the dolls arrived in the country. I did receive more of the Lush Life dolls than the other styles because she is an exclusive, so she can still be shipped immediately. I do still have the capability of accepting orders on all the other styles as well, but they will have to ship when the balance of the dolls arrive. I have been told they are due to arrive the end of the month and should be in stock the first full week of April.

Aria, the new Icon exclusive, has also arrived and is currently shipping. I had one deboxed at a show I did this past weekend and that girl was posed and reposed all day long, LOL.

I also have had new shoe paks that have come in, as well. There is another 20 pak of the double strap sandals with new colors in it and a new "Champagne Evening" pak that comes with 4 pairs of shoes with glitter, clear and blue with silver glitter and red and black with gold glitter. Packaged with the 4 pairs of shoes are a champagne bottle and 2 champagne flutes. Both shoe paks are listed under accessories on both the in stock Candi page and the Integrity page of my site.

I briefly saw some earlier posts about the mystery doll on the mastercollector.com site, referring, of course, to the Veronique with the great necklace. Her picture wasn't supposed to be used because Integrity isn't quite ready to announce her but I would say the cat is sort of out of the bag, :-). I can't give you details yet but can say she is in collection II, so she is a 2003 Veronique. I think more information will be made known around June.

Back to work. I'm sure you would rather have me shipping your dolls than have me post, :-).
