Have you not eaten a stroopwafel? They are delicious.....

No, I have not! I shall have to look in to this! Sounds like something appropriate for Octoberfest!

Of course, it also sounds like an organization the Red Baron might have flown with.

Some cute outfits there. Peppercorn is adorable!

I have only heard of stroopwafel because it was a challenge on the Great British Baking Show one season...

Fruitcake and Biscuit as a sibling pair cracked me up

I love your unusual doll names!

Thanks, I try to be original.

This is Montmorency. I still haven't found her perfect look. I don't love this wig on her. She is currently in Papin's wig, and I don't love that one either.

Getting a wig right can be hard, I have a wine red one which I absolutely love on lilly but its ever so slightly too small and pops off all the time even with a wig cap so I went from loving it to hating it.
I love that wig but I see what you mean its not quite right for the face? Maybe a lighter blonde to contrast her smoky eyes?

Awww.... cute! She looks like a little Girl Scout, one of the Brownies.

I recognize that garden bench!

I first had a stroopwafel when I went to the Netherlands, where you can buy them in packages from vending machines but also hot and fresh on the street. Now they serve them on many United flights. They are very delicious.

Oh I thought for a moment you ment you bought the doll from a vending machine. I am going to see if I can find them anywhere. We aren't very exoctic in my corner of the globe.

Ciel and Ciel - Honeysuckle and Huckleberry

Not quite the whole Black Butler crew - I have since acquired Grell.

I did not realize there had been so many Black Butler related releases.

It's an intriguing and somewhat disturbing family portrait, very Gormenghast-ish to my eye.

I actually read that thread recently when I was noseying around bored. Coco and ciel made me laugh when they were demanding servants

I heard of it years ago... like, a LOT of years ago, and haven't thought of it since, until, like in the last two weeks I've seen mentions of it in various places three or four times. Very odd.

Original Cinnamoroll Dal has the most melancholy face. Here is Fern.

And Vicarious (Cinnamoroll anniversary edition).

Green eyes, green eyelids, green in the hair... she makes me think of a cute Swamp Thing like creature!

Who would probably eat the little pink one for supper, and save her bones to make soup with later.

Which means, of course I like her!

If one didn't like Dals, which I didn't really when I first started collecting, all these cute ones would help win them over.
Looks like Vicarious has some Mimiwoo shoes there.
If one's name is Stroopwafel, what do one's friends call them for short?

That's the goal!

Good eye! She does indeed!

Hmm - Stro? Roop? Fel?

My guess would be "Awful."  

Good suggestion! Although, I might actually name a doll Awful....

Eponine (Clair)

With all that red hair piled up high, and the old-fashioned dress, Eponine reminds me of the character "Candy" from an ancient TV show called Here Come the Brides.
