 The damsels are often in dresses,

so I wanted a change with this doll.

3 Special Edition damsels!

Greetings!

Been occupied with 3 Special Edition

dolls for you. Look at these beauties

mashaAllah!

That's right, these damsels LOVE dressing up

as mermaids!

First meet...

Sireen

Tail off...

...tail on!

I adore her wool dreads.

Sweet face.

Now meet her friend...

(meaning: silver pearl)

Look at all that hair.

It takes a while separating each strand of wool,

but it really is worth it!

Adorable!

and finally meet their friend...

Her hair reminds me of coral.

So there you have it.

They'll be waiting for new homes tomorrow at
