| Gone, still here, gone, gone (Jasmine at various stages of development) |
Three of my four Jasmine dolls by Waltraud Hanl have found new homes. Jasmine at 1-1/2, pictured above, third from left, departed yesterday. She is now on her way to Guadeloupe* in the French Caribbean and is estimated to arrive by July 25th.

Jasmine was purchased in 2005 from one of the vendors at the 18th International Black Doll Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was one of two dolls purchased while in Philadelphia that weekend as souvenirs. I hesitated to sell her for this reason, but I need space. Some of my larger dolls will be adopted out for this reason. I will have the above photos and other memories of Jasmine's presence here. I hope she is well loved in her new home in the Caribbean.
Three down, one more to go.
*Guadeloupe is a group of Caribbean islands located in the Leeward Islands, in the Lesser Antilles, with a land area of 1,628 square kilometres and a population of 405,739 inhabitants. Wikipedia
(The population total will soon be plus one.)
Look at you looking all modelesque. I know, that's not a word. I hope Jasmine's will bring lots of joy to her new mommy. For the record, that big doll is pretty scary.
ReplyDeleteI echo Vanessa's sentiment. Bet she's going to have fun at her new home.
ReplyDeleteMuff,
DeleteHope so!

It took Jasmine a full month to arrive to Guadeloupe. This particular sale has been a harrowing experiencing for both me and the buyer, who contacted me several times through eBay with her concern that Jasmine had not arrived. I am happy she finally arrived and that the buyer is pleased. I received the following note from the buyer this morning:
