29portfash10p08.jpg29portfash10p05.jpg29portfash10p01.jpgHello everyone,
I promised to share pictures if my lovely antique doll ever made the trip from Kansas to New York... well, she arrived Friday, yaaaay!! :dance:

So, here are a few pictures of the French miss who gave me so many sleepless nights - only USPS knows what she was doing for the two weeks when she dropped off the radar, and they're not telling bear_grin

Anyway, for your delight, here is my 29 inch Portrait Jumeau Fashion.  She has the most exquisite face and colouring - and I am so pleased to have found one after looking for so many years!!

Thanks guys, for all your support and advice while she was lost in the postal system - now you can see what all the fuss was about!!
Hugs,
Chris

Wow!!  What a stunning doll.  Her face is exquisite!! bear_happy
I'm so glad she has arrived safely after all that worry - she obviously decided she wanted her own little adventure before coming to her new home!!!  If only she could tell you where she had been!!! bear_grin

Chris, what a beauty! Well worth the wait :)
What I love about her is the fact, that she is not so pompous...

She's beautiful Christine.  bear_flower  Customs were most likely hogging her to enjoy for themselves for a while.

Thanks, you guys!!!
What I didn't mention is that she is a belated 40th birthday present to myself - it has taken me almost that long to save up for her! bear_grin   But here is proof that everything comes to she who waits...
