Spoils from the MSF/DWB Auction!

[rusty_armour]

Although it's my sister's birthday today, I ended up receiving a present as my awesome Wraith Queen doll arrived from Sweden! As you probably guessed by the subject heading, I won it at the MSF/DWB Auction. It was handcrafted by Erin Winslow, who not only sent out my prize promptly but was kind enough to include some Swedish postcards and brochures, which added an extra level of excitement to my package.

For anyone who's curious, the MSF/DWB Auction managed to raise over £1161! Oh, and the birthday boy was very happy with his present! :-)

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! :-)

That is one cool wraith queen. What's the hair made from? It doesn't look like standard yarn.

I'm happy you like my Wraith Queen. :-) I can't remember the name of it, but it's that kind of yarn that's really soft and fine. I want to say angel hair, but that's pasta. *g* I'm pretty sure it's the kind of thing you could find at Lewiscraft or Mary Maxim.

Awesome! Hee! I love the contrast between the hair and really white face. Is she going to be joining action figure theatre?

Packages are always exciting. I can't imagine getting one from Sweden!

Yes, the colours make for a very nice contrast, don't they? The flaming red hair seems so Wraith Queen to me. :-) I'm not sure if she'll be joining action figure theatre or not. She's actually quite tall. Of course, size didn't stop me from including my Sherlock Holmes doll in one adventure, so you never know. I wonder how threatening she'll be without a hand to feed with? I suppose it could be hidden under the red part of her dress... *g*

Yes, I think Sweden is a first for me! Actually, I felt bad when I saw the address on the package because I realized just how far poor Erin had to send it! I got lucky with the item I was mailing. It only had to go as far as Pennsylvania.

Very cool! I had no idea you would find stuff from Sweden interesting. But of course, anything far away would be interesting, I guess.

I would actually love to go to Sweden! However, I get what you're saying. If someone told me they were excited about the Toronto postcards, maple syrup, and beaver in a can they received, I'd probably feel the same way you do. *g*

Cool! Congrats. I was unlucky this year so I just made a donation. :)

I'm sorry you didn't win any of the items you bid on. If it makes you feel any better, I was outbid on everything but the Wraith Queen doll, so I ended up making a tiny donation as well.

She looks appropriately regal & imposing!

Thank you! I'm so glad you think so! :-)
