Exciting news! I have a new Little Darling! Her name is Alice; she is a number one sculpt painted by Nelly Valentino. I’ll let Alice’s photos do the talking. You can see how beautiful and sweet she is. ❤
This girl was meant to be Alice. When Nelly emailed me her first photos, I showed them to my daughter. My daughter, who also named my Lucy, said she looked like an Alice. Well, I wasn’t sure, so over the course of the next couple of days we both thought of several other names: Dorothy and Dot (both names after my mom), Tulip, Lilly, Susan. We then took the scientific approach (ha ha) for naming this girl because we just couldn’t decide. My daughter wrote all of the names on a piece of paper; I closed my eyes and pointed to a name. My index finger landed between Alice and Dorothy. Okay, now we need a tie breaker. She took the two pieces of paper, one with each name on it, in a different hand and told me to pick a hand; I picked the right hand. So, you see, even after all of the fussing she was meant to be Alice.
Lucy has been generous to her new sister and has given up her next outfit, so that Alice can model for you ASAP!
Soon, soon, very soon . . . Alice will model it for you. Right now she is enjoying her new home. I think she’ll love it here, don’t you?
Everyone enjoy your day! Bye for now!

She’s super cute! Now you need a LD No. 2.
Hi Carol,
Thank you. That thought entered my head too. Hmm… wonder how long I can hold off.
Alice is beautiful! Can’t wait to see her modeling your new outfit…… ❤️
Hi Mary,
Thank you. Today is the first day in 2-1/2 weeks that I don’t have to be anywhere or do anything except work in my studio. Yay! I hope to get lots accomplished.
She is gorgeous as are her sisters…I shall have to save my pennies so that one day I will be able to have the fun of playing dollies too!
Hi Wendi,
Thank you. FYI, Alice took 11 months after ordering, so you would have lots of time to save up while waiting for one. 🙂
Lucky you! What a sweetie. Love the two tone wig. Perfect on her with those lovely brown eyes. Did you have to wait a long time to order from Nelly Valentino? Can’t wait to see her outfit.
Hi Joy and thank you. When I ordered her the wait time was about 7 months; she ended up taking 11 months though. It did go pretty fast, and Lucy came along halfway into my wait, that helped. I’m going to try and get her outfit completed today.
Alice is gorgeous. I know you love having her join your doll family.
Hello Celia,
Thank you. I am so happy with her! Nelly is so talented creating these sweet faces.
Aw….Cindy, I am so happy for you….and there is no doubt that Alice will be very happy in her new home! CONGRATULATIONS, Cindy, Gina and Lucy!
Hi Carol,
Thanks so much. The trio has already become the best of friends!!!
She’s absolutely darling!! Alice she is and can’t wait to see what she’ll be wearing in the future.
Thank you, Rita. I have the whole day today, to work on her outfit. I hope to get it completed, so I can post photos tomorrow. Fingers crossed…
Hi Cindy! Often admire your work from afar! lol Your Alice is very pretty and sweet. Lovely three girls!
Hi Jano,
It is so nice to hear from you, love comments! The girls and I thank you.
Little Darling is so fitting for your beautiful, new Alice! She is darling! And her name suits her well!
Hi Sonia,
Thank you! Nelly did beautiful work bringing my Little Darling to life, so thankful. I love having my daughter help name my dolls (the ones that need names); it adds a sentimental touch. So now I have three, and quite possible enough???!!! Have a great Sunday!
