It's taken me since Christmas to take photos of Darcie who was my Christmas present from my hubby. Darcie is actually a Gotz Asian Hannah at the Ballet and is an approx 50cm (19.5-20 inches) tall, all vinyl play doll. I had been looking at getting her for several months prior to Christmas and so was really pleased to receive her. I have called her Darcie because, not only is she a little 'ballerina' but several times after receiving her, so I heard mention of the ballet dancer Darcie Bussell on television, so it was meant to be :)
I haven't made anything for her to wear yet so below you will see her wearing the extra outfit that these dolls come with. They arrive wearing a cute pink ballet outfit and have a second outfit, plus shoes, aswell. The pink boots are from My Doll Best Friend in the UK and the hat is actually knitted for premature babies and was bought at the market in Torre del Mar, down on the coast!
She is lovely. I've been tempted by the black dancer and this one too. I thnk I prefer them to my brunette Hannah because the outhes are more realistic but the stock photos don't do them justice.
ReplyDeleteMaybe.... when the boiler is repaired/replaced... I love my Gotz girls.
That shade of pink looks great with her complexion. She's a girl for brights.
Thanks for showing her off, even if you have re-opened my 'I wants' again!
Love,

Thank you Jenni, glad you like her! I had been looking at her for months, spoke with Maxine at My Doll Best Friend and searched out photos on the internet but just couldn't make up my mind, so when Brian asked what I'd like I went for her, plus she was from a doll store here in Spain, so easier for him to sort out!!!!! :)
DeleteI agree she's a bright colours girl, which is just as well, seeing as that is my favourite too :)
Sorry that I've re-opened the wants but they are good value and quality :) LOL

She's adorable, isn't she? What a lovely gift!
ReplyDeleteThose bright pink colours are perfect for her, but I'm looking forward to seeing what other new styles you come up with for her as well! :)
Thank you very much jSarie!! He's a good one is my hubby ;)
DeleteAs you'll have probably guessed I love bright colours so I'm glad that they'll look good with her slightly darker skin tone. I must take photos of her with the other two girls, I think they look really cute together!
Big hugs Sharon xxx
Love her mouth, -it so tiny and lovely shaped.
ReplyDeleteAnd the colours matches her wonderfully!
Hugs Anne
Thanks very much Anne, I'm glad to hear that you like her!
DeleteI look forward to sewing for her one of these days! :)

Darcey Brussell was one of our best known British ballet dancers in The Royal Ballet Company and is now seen on the Strickly Come Dancing panel of judges.
ReplyDeleteI always love our dolls when they are in dungaree outfits. Suits them to perfection.
Thank you Kendal, I like this look on them too...they're like what real little kids would wear, aren't they!!
DeleteYes, but she's not a Brussell is she? LOL....my husband would refuse to have her in the house, he hates Brussells!! ;)
She's a lovely dancer though, I really like her!
Big hugs Sharon xxx
Your Darcy is lovely. I believe Darcy's surname is Bussell not like the sprouts, so no danger of your husband taking against her because of the surname of the ballerina!
DeleteFab name for her S!
ReplyDeleteWhat else was it I wanted to mention...oh! I know....
STRIPEY SOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Some people are soooo pushy, aren't they? ;)
DeleteI know I know, but I have this long long list that I have to work on first!!!!
Big hugs Sharon xxx
:) Did you get my email I sent you last week?
DeleteAnother lovely doll arrives at The House of Sharon :) She's very pretty! Love her outfit and herHug boots, I have a pair just the same but in purple!!
ReplyDeleteOne day you'll have to do a bus tour to you house where we can all come and play with all your different dolls, then go home and buy the one's we fell in love with!!
Seeing all these gorgeous dolls makes it so hard to resist!! :)
hugs Dee xx
Awww thanks Dee, happy to hear that you like her. Yes, I'm more than happy to have you all arrive by bus for a 'play date'....I have enough cups to go round, and I will make a lemon tart so we'll have something nice to eat too. Just wait until it's not so cold though, then we can play in the garden as my sewing room is blooming cold at the mom ent!!!!!
DeleteBig hugs Sharon xxx
PS I want them in purple, are they yours or the dolls? I want them in several colours actually AND a pair for myself :)
What a lovely gift from your husband, she is adorable! Such a cute mouth and eyes, a beautiful little girl added to your collection Sharon :-). Hugs xxx
ReplyDeleteDarcie is beautiful and such a wonderful Christmas gift! I would love to see her in her ballerina outfit too. Her pink boots are perfect with her overalls. Great post! :) xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sharon! I love her! The striped sox and pink boots are to die for!!!! A perfect gift!
ReplyDeleteShe is darling!!, I really love her!, she looks so gentle and clever for me^^. That was an amazing christmas present, you are very lucky and that makes me happy!! *____*. I do really love her default outfit so much!, she looks like a real child that it is coming back from school *O*. I love all your dolls my dear Sharon, you really have an exquisite taste for all of them, they are all so charming and beautiful!!. Thank you so much for sharing her with us! *abraza fuerte* <3<3<3
ReplyDeleteOh, she´s so much prettier than in the promotional pictures by Götz!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely husband you have. Darcie is very cute but 50cm? That's big! When you have big dolls you don't have room for as many. LOL I love the hat and the boots are so cute. The outfit is nice but I bet it isn't nearly as nicely made as you could do it. Lots of big hugs from Denmark. (Brrrr . . . we're having snow) Lene
