Sugar Plum came today and she’s super nice. Not as realistic as Patrice and Colette, but still, to think she cost just $25 is mind-boggling! Ashton-Drake would want $80 for her and the stores would charge $100 or more. Her purple dress with its pink accents is beautiful and her face is more realistic than Patrice and Colette’s. Unlike them, she has inset lashes and eyes, rather than painted ones. Even so, of all the ballerina dolls I’ve seen, I have yet to see one that compares to Patrice.

They also sent a gift certificate for free shipping and handling, which is nice of them considering the fact that she was supposed to be here nearly 3 months ago. So I’ll be getting a $25 black doll next month. Well, I’ll be ordering it then, but I doubt I’ll get it then. She’s called Christmas Glow. Her dress is boring, but she’s got a nice face. She’s a 14”. I may put her in another dress.
