Humbled it is that I am...

All of you who have visited me? Thanks!

I am very happy to be finding homes for my lovely girls and all their stuff. I'm very pleased to see all the interest. I am also quite ashamed that I hollered "wolf"—"Gene"?—before I was 100% ready. So I will tell you now, I knew that work-persons were coming to the house to rip out all the kitchen cabinets and put in new ones on May 6. I knew that I had to get everything out of those cabinets and put, uh, put, ummm, put somewhere else, location tbd. Oh, and they are turning off the water in the kitchen on the 5th so the pipes will drain by the time they rip out the sink on the 6th. Ayeeeeeeeee. 

Please wait patiently until I have no workmen and use the time to decide what you might like to have and send me a request. Then if I have it, I will tell you what I want for it and you can pay it or make a counter offer. If I find that I can accept your offer, we will conclude the transaction. If I find that I cannot, I will tell you so and why. We will continue the discussion, concluding quickly and efficiently and I will go to the USPS or UPS and have your purchase on your doorstep in a efficient and timely manner.

As soon as my kitchen is operational and workperson-free, I will bring out all the dolly boxes, rummage, search and list, list, list. Then when requests come, I can answer them briskly with such information as: whether or not I have an item, how many of them I have, what I would like to receive in return for shipping the item or items to you in a timely manner and all like that—actually doing things in a businesslike and orderly manner!

Remodeling is a bother! Oh well. Sigh. I will have a lovely kitchen when it's over. Right? Oh how I hope so!

All this by way of saying I will really be doing a lot of DDD business, sorting out what I want to keep and listing what I will be offering to you all—starting tomorrow! 

Stay, as they say (do they still say?), tuned! I'm very happy to have found a need out there that I feel qualified to meet and which will make me happy enough to sigh with relief when all is said and done. I have no space and too many dolls. You all have need of dolls and their accoutrements. The dolls and their accoutrements have need of a loving home. That seems to be the way we need to be heading.

So forgive my underestimation of the response to my offering and give me a bit of a breather better to prepare. Let's just call this period Preview of Coming Attractions and go with the list I have, uh, listed on the April 30 (previous) posting. Then let's say that when I have got all my pigeons in the cote, I will make the announcement. I will be ready with lists and answers and information and a thorough knowledge of my "stock"—with pictures, yet—and then, with the sound of trumpets...well maybe no trumpets...I will reopen Dolly Diva Designs and have stock, sorted and in order, to present to the teeming throng.

'Sokay? 

Love you guys!
