Mostly Not Doll Related

2011 Relay For Life of Kingston NY

Saturday, May 21, 2011 11:00AM - Sunday, May 22, 2011 1:00AM at Dietz Memorial Stadium

 I'm doing something I've never done before, participating in the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life. We've been told to ask everyone we know for donations because pretty much everyone has been touched by the disease. I feel a little uncomfortable asking for donations through my blog; but...if I don't ask...there won't be donations, so here it is.

Please make a donation to help the American Cancer Society create a world with less cancer and more birthdays.  Together, we can help make sure that cancer never steals another year of anyone's life.

If you live in the New York area, please join my team!

Visit my personal page to read more about the event and to donate.  

Just for fun, here's an iPhone picture of one of my adorable PukiPuki dolls. She will be with me at the Relay.

SALE on NEW (and OLD) Fashion Sets at Tonner Direct

This week Tonner Direct is calling their groupings of items Fashion Collection Gift Sets. They are taking 20% off plus offering free shipping. The promo piece is somewhat confusing because it starts off with Tyler Boutique items but says nothing about them except that the NEW fashion sets will not show until the beginning of the sale on Wednesday, April 13th at Noon EDT. So I guess the sets below are the OLD fashion sets? I thought this sale was over.

These are the sets or some of the sets. I don't know. Go tomorrow to find out for yourself.     <-(Click)

This is called the Lord of the Rings "Starter Pack"  Is that the same as "entry level?"

12" HARRY POTTER™ and RON WEASLEY™ Collector Set

Ladies of Oz Set

13" Women of Power Set

Clash of the Titans™ Set

LOTR Set 2, Elven Set

TWILIGHT: NEW MOON Set

It could be stuff like this:

I do love those black skirts.

Silkstone Francie

Sandi Holder's Doll Attic announced earlier this week that the forthcoming Silkstone Francie will be a Dealer Exclusive and only available at authorized Mattel dealers (and all over eBay.) She didn't say the part about eBay.
It seems that prior to this announcement, some of her customers had pre-ordered the doll at $79.99. The price has been raised to $89.99 now.
She posted that she is going to honor the price for those who have pre-ordered.

She's very cute but just another unarticulated, pricey doll.

NOTE:
A collector just let me know that the Francie Silkstone doll is for preoder in Cherysdolls for $59.
