Diana’s Patch - Sewing Patterns for Soft Sculpture Dolls, Vintage Dolls and Doll Supplies

I wanted to share my newest Triang Pedigree from the South African factory. She's 1985, #1 head mold, beautiful blue eyes, "gaudy gold" double ponies. She has new socks and shoes and a new handmade outfit (from my Ruffled Overalls pattern ). She even has her original diaper. She's very minty. I originally planned on reselling her, but after giving her a makeover, it's so hard to decide! How much do you think she would be worth?  

Wow, no more selling fees on Mercari! So I will be lowering my prices on my listings. Use this link to sign up to receive $10! https://merc.li/FB3yN5AVb There’s been a lot of people upset over the new Mercari policies in some groups I’m in, so I thought I’d compare one of my sales to a purchase. With Mercari’s old selling fees, a $125 item only made the seller $108.14.

Zero fees if you use your Mercari money made from sales to buy something on Mercari. And I did contact Mercari about the new return policy and they said that they rarely get customers asking for a return. Despite showing people the difference and the fact that the new policy SAVES buyers money, there are still people arguing, sa
