Dollieh Sanctuary

This package arrived November 24th, but I couldn't open it until Christmas morning!


Inside is Smart Doll Ebony, from Danny Choo's Culture Japan. She is one of the dolls he has designed to go along with Mirai, his mascot. She has tan skin and it's a lovely, warm tone.


Christmas morning. Of course we have to start with a trip to my beach.




Sea glass the color of her eyes!


A couple of days later, we went whale watching at the light house.




Then it was time for a cozy day at home, drinking hot tea and reading and playing with the Zen garden.




New eyes in Cyan.


Outside today- it's COLD!!!

Her skin tone looks lovely! Smart Doll (non-animated) is on my short list. A friend has the normal sking Mirai and she's fabulous! Congratulations!

Thank you! And they are coming out with a very dark-skinned girl (Harmony), and also a boy, who looks pretty good!

She looks lovely and I really like her skin tone!

If (should that be when? given I was never going to go above 45cm at one point… ) I get a doll bigger than 55cm, it will be a Smart Doll. Or two.

I want one!!

Just a *helpful* FYI - you can order Smart Dolls through Fabric, Friends and Dolls...... Just saying......

Buying a Smart Doll directly from their site with the current exchange rate, the 60,000yen retail price translates to about $506 US, plus about $50 EMS shipping (to the US).

She's lovely. Congrats! ^_^

When I bought mine back in November, the exchange rate made it about $480, plus shipping, which was about fifty bucks, if I remember correctly.

Lovely doll! And I admire the knitted jumpers
