We’re in another heat warning event. Today in the high 90s, humid, and to add to the oppressiveness, we have a smoke warning from the wildfires in Canada. Yippee. Smoke warnings tomorrow, as well.
A package arrived in the mail yesterday. You better believe I’d been tracking it. It came all the way from Israel to my door in exactly a week. (I’ve spent lots of time attempting pictures, but the light is a bit of a pain right now.)
From Dragonfly Blythe:
I’d like to introduce you to Rowan.
She has dark auburn hair and, as you can tell, the way the color registers varies.
She has freckles (I’m using Ola’s photo.)

I don’t know how Ola got this level of detail, but God bless her!
If you remember, I had a commission set up with Ola. She was going to create a girl for me. (And that may still happen.) But over a week ago, on a Saturday, she posted a photo saying “In progress.” A girl with curly auburn hair and freckles. My heart started to beat faster. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. I messaged Ola and asked if she was available. Thankfully, Ola was online and responded: Do you want her? You can have her. Yes! Yes! I asked if the hair color was as indicated in the photo and she said “exactly the same.” I paid for her, Ola’s husband took the package to the post office a week ago Tuesday, and she arrived here very quickly.
You know I wanted a redhead Dragonfly Blythe. I was frustrated more than once when someone on my feed was selling a redhead – they wouldn’t ship to the US, someone else got there right before me. In one case, I had been promised a girl whenever the owner decided to sell, but that fell through because she had purchased her from someone who had inflated the price and she wanted to recoup that cost and I wouldn’t overpay. I know what Ola charges, in fact, she makes it crystal clear on her IG account. She has set prices. Anyway, I started to think I’d never get one.
Then Ola announced she was coming back and here we are.
Her eyebrows are incredible. She has faint veins on her forehead. Ola is an incredible artist. And the freckles are perfection. Some customizers make them too big, almost like a caricature. But these are perfect.
Can you tell I’m thrilled?
I am blessed with a dream come true.
Now I have to reconfigure the shelves as I am out of room!
Stay safe.
Happy Wednesday.
