A WONDERFUL GIFT

This beautiful Gotz Svenja arrived today.

She does have the most beautiful blue eyes and with her rounded face reminds me of my granddaughter Clara.

She is a gift from a lovely friend, who having bought her only recently decided that she did not like the new leg joints. Knowing I had wanted one of these face sculpts, she very kindly said she was going to send this girl to me as a gift.

Her grandson had taken a shine to the dog on his lead, so he kept the dog, and I got the doll.

My friend would not accept any payment for this valuable doll, and I am the sort of person who is not comfortable taking such a generous gift. Luckily, I have a couple of smaller dolls that she collects, and I will send them to her for her collection.

I am delighted to finally have this girl to join my other Gotz girls and it will stop me having to look for one.

So, feeling very spoilt I’m off to admire Svenja.

LETTING THEIR HAIR DOWN.

I decided they needed a change of clothes and to get their hair let down from the single hank at the front and back ponytail. What a difference it makes! These girls look so much nicer.

I think they look a lot more natural. Now I need to get them some shoes!

Paloma, whose outfit I love, took a few days before I decided she would stay. So only just had her hair taken down from its front hank and ponytail.

I just love her outfit, so she’s still wearing it for a little longer and I decided she should take a turn round the garden in it.

She had a few photos taken at the folly.

This outfit is quite glamourous.

She could be off to a party or even a wedding.

So, she can have a few more days of standing around in her outfit before I change her into something more suitable for everyday wear. Hopefully some shoes will have arrived by then too.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST GOTZ TO!

So, I was minding my own business and browsing the internet when I came across a Happy Kidz Gotz doll that I nearly bought once but changed my mind. She was on auction and was actually being started at her original selling price, a rare thing for a boxed and unopened doll.

Emilia. She is a face sculpt I have always been unsure about; did I like her or not! So, I placed a bit and then had to wait.

Of course, then things went on a slippery slope rapidly! I happen to go onto the Gotz doll group on FB and saw a gorgeous Hannah doll with black hair. She’d been dressed in a lilac outfit and looked gorgeous.

Yes, you have guessed it I went off to see if I could find one. Naturally I did and being sold for a fair price!

I did think about if for a while and then caved and bought her.

So she arrived and I was still waiting to win Emilia.

Then I just happened to see a Happy kidz Gotz’s Noelle !

She was the same face sculpt as Emilia and gorgeous! I was still awaiting the results of my bid on Emilia and Noelle was a buy it now…what to do!

Yes, you have guessed it, I bought Noelle.

Now Emilia was still waiting for her auction to end and maybe someone would come along and outbid me, I went to check on her thinking well if I don’t get her not an issue as I now have Noelle. But when I looked at Emilia I thought, no I want her too!

And of course, you have seen her above, so I did win her. So, three dolls in just over a week! After not buying any new Gotz dolls for a good year or more.

But this was not the end! No? No! The doll website My Doll Best Friend, have a 250 limited-edition doll made by Gotz for them each year called Chosen and when I was looking on the FB group, I saw that there was a draw open to buy the latest Chosen doll. She looked very pretty and was wearing a beautiful outfit, so I entered the draw. Thinking that the doll wasn’t due until next month and that I’d not stand a chance of getting my name being pulled.

Yes, that’s right! (You are very good at this guessing game) Not only was my name pulled out, but the doll was in their warehouse ready to go! So today she arrived

Her name is Paloma and she arrived today.

Her outfit is beautiful.

So, four dolls in just over two weeks! But there is possibility of a fifth!!! But more about that if it happens.

Now they need to be removed from their boxes and redressed, although I may leave Paloma in her beautiful outfit a little longer.

All the girls together.

A nice new group.
