On line shopping....

In the absence of being able to physically go shopping, apart from boring stuff like food, I find myself looking on line at dolly stuff, I put things into the website's carts and then I just delete it again....I do this before signing in to these websites, just in case my finger slips and I find myself spending money that I don't have!!!

Well this morning I was a little bit naughty and I went searching on doll websites just to see what is available.  I was expecting that a lot of the sites wouldn't be shipping right now but one of the Spanish companies that I've used in the past, Doll and Doll, state that they're still shipping and also had some cute vinyl dolls in stock by the company Llorens, and me, not being able to resist a bargain, decided to put one in my shopping cart....just put her in there you understand, not buy her!  Then of course I saw some sweet little socks, 2,95 euros?  Not bad!! I put a pair of those in too.  And then I saw some downloadable patterns, yes one of those would be useful!  Into the cart it goes.  

But this time I thought "oh what the hell" and I pressed 'proceed to checkout'.  So a new doll and a pair of socks are going to be on their way here next week!  And the pattern is already downloaded and ready to print off.  

The doll is very cute though and the prices of these dolls, which are completely made here in Spain, are so very reasonable that it would be criminal not to purchase.  And with the way things are at the moment, the economy really will need a boost so I'm really just doing my bit to help my fellow inhabitants of Spain, don't you think?! 😉

Here is the doll that I've ordered, her company name is Daniela:

She is 37cm tall, all vinyl with rooted hair.  She has fixed acrylic inset eyes and five joints.  If my previous experience of this company, Llorens, is anything to go by, then the outfit will be nicely made with good quality fabrics.  I like that the outfit has several pieces.  And the price?  A very good 37,95 euros (approx $41), so that cannot be bad!!!  

There are other styles too, here is a photo I borrowed from another website:

I have seen another one that is really very cute and if I like this doll and decide to get her a friend I might wait and order her, but for now I will just wait and see.  And I was even thinking that she might be a good candidate for a spot of customising seeing as I enjoy doing that so much!  Or maybe she is cute enough that I will leave well alone!!

All I have to hope for now is that the post office will still be delivering parcels!

I hope you all have a good weekend, stay safe and well!
