Emilia's INRO Has Arrived

Inro is standing on my computer desk right now. I can't stop looking at her!
I took a few quickie shots with my iPad of the "opening ceremonies."
There was a wonderful surprise in the box with the doll. A full sized picture-on-fabric backdrop was included!
Her attached paddle-shaped hands would be perfect for gloves if one was so inclined. She does come with three sets of expressive hands.
She exceeds my expectations.
Normally I don't apologize for my pictures but this doll deserves better and these are posted for us picture-hungry collectors.
As someone else has posted, if any are still available and you're on the fence, don't hesitate to buy her now. She's not like an untested new model car. This doll is fabulous.
