Lunch with Robyne!

 Today I had lunch with one of my favorite dolly friends, Robyne.  If you recall, she is the person responsible for me buying the Barbie Friendship plane at an incredible price.  She is also the person who blessed Morristown with AA Happy Family Grandma.  She has a wonderful blog entitled, Desperately Seeking Dolls.  A few weeks ago, I saw a hybrid Capricious Natalia Fatale doll on her DollPages site, for a price that was so good, I thought it was a misprint.  It is considered a hybrid, because it is on a NuFace body, which is better than her original FR body, in my opinion.  She has the same body that my Naisha doll has.  Robyne and I decided to meet in person to make the transaction, and have a little lunch.  There's nothing better than meeting with blogging friends in person.

Forgive these not-so-great pictures.  I just wanted to do a quick post for now.  I will show better pictures of her soon. 
So here is my gorgeous doll.  I purchased her nude, but Robyne was so sweet, she brought her dressed.  Check out the feathered headpiece.  Needless to say, a few of my ladies have asked to wear the outfit.  This doll is ultra sexy and I can't wait to show her in all her glory.  In the meantime, to get an idea of just how sexy she is, you can check out this flickr picture of her from Petra. 

Robyne also brought me fresh blueberries from her garden.  My blender is anxious to get a hold of them.  I've been munching on them.  They may not even make it to the blender.

Did I mention that Natalia was another birthday gift to myself?  LOL!  I do have to put another one of my old dolls up for sale.  I haven't decided which one yet, but stay tuned.

      Carrickters - And the month isn't over yet. lol. I don't think any other dolls will be joining me, but there may be other surprises. I will warn you, reading Robyne's blog may cause you to spend even more money on dolls. I had a separate budget just for reading her blog.

    It's always good spending time along with dolly friends. Sadly, my dolly friends live far from where I live and I miss them so much ;_;

    I love your Natalia! She's a strong character in the Fashion Royalty drama, I'm trying to put my paws on all the Natalia dolls I can buy! LOL!

    I'll visit Robyne's Doll Page site ;-)

      Sergio - There are so many doll people right near me. Sadly, I haven't met quite a few of them (VITA PLASTICA!)

      I never knew you had an obsession with Natalia. I want a Eugenia now. Just one, and I will be satisfied.

    Because of you I have been giving my old blender a workout on those smoothies!

      Muff - Isn't she? I'm so happy to hear you are working that blender. Every day I treat myself to something great. I love just going to the kitchen whenever I feel like a treat and being able to whip up something incredible in seconds. Last week I added a little cocoa baking powder to the frozen bananas and a teaspoon of peanut butter. OMGoodness! Tasted like a frozen Reese's Peanut Butter cup. I could go on and on.

      Heather - Meeting up with doll friends is the best. It's refreshing to talk in person and not through a computer screen sometimes.

      sisilovessinging - She wasn't on my list, but once I saw her for such a great price, I had to have her. So glad I added her to the crew. She made her story debut yesterday. Make sure you check her out.

      Georgia Girl - It's Friday again?! Goodness. I never know what day of the week it is, except for trash day and when you comment. LOL. Happy belated 50th! Natalia wasn't even on my radar, but this one jumped out at me.
