Little Gems Goss and Thera are back at Soom , and this time they have cute little wings! While the wings are awkward on the big Gems, the smaller dolls do better because the wings are relatively lighter, and the smaller dolls tend to stand better anyway. They have special hands! They come in White and Gray and I really love Thera's (?) eyes, I am still waiting on some eyes I ordered in early July so I think I will hold off. Well, because of that and no money. They are nice, though! Also Vincent is finally released ! I'm guessing he was a Russian sailor who moved to Damascus and changed his name, or something--this is the color he comes in--no Tan or Bronze option. He is a cutie, though--he'd look super in medieval Russian clothing, which uses a lot of the same stained-glass jewel tones that his current outfit is made in.

When Akutenshi7 came over Saturday, she brought Miss Fiona ( A Soom Thera ) here to be measured.

On Sunday K and I spent the day driving around odd places, including the lawn ornament place in Darien, where I bought this skeptical little concrete mermaid: They didn't have too many mermaids--if I had wanted a gargoyle, I could have gotten plenty in sizes ranging from 8 inches high to 8 feet high. I had to ask to find even one mermaid, and the one that the staff guy pointed out to me was 5 feet long and 500.00, which was more mermaid than I needed. So I went inside and asked the owner if he had just the "one big mermaid" and he took that to mean that I wanted a procession alley of big mermaids instead of one smaller one. So we finally got that straightened out and I took home the small mermaid. Earlier in the day we had gone to the Marriott in Naperville to check out the doll show. It was a gorgeous day and K didn't want her photo taken: But of course I took one anyway, though inside it didn't seem like the kind of venue where photography was encouraged...
