The Cheshire and the Cat
"Why do you write?", the Cheshire asked the Cat.
"Why, to find myself, of course", said the Cat to the Cheshire.

I've decided that I should be more diligent in my blogging. My last entry was ....... four months ago!! Life has been a rapid moving river of events, and like Alice, I disappeared down the rabbit hole, only to emerge four months later.
From the time I started this blog, I've moved from Pullips to a Fairyland Pukifee and wanted a Lati Yellow for a time (but unfortunately, the site wasn't open for ordering). Then while waiting to find some BJD that I absolutely MUST have, I bought Japanese books on how to sew tiny clothes and moved on to buy hair clips and other tiny ornaments.
That's when I stumbled down the rabbit hole of Re-ment!
Re-ment is a Japanese toy company that manufactures, among other things, all kinds of cute doll-sized toys. Quite surprisingly, at this point of time, they have a number of Alice-themed toys. How very fortunate for me!

My First BJD: Fairyland Pukifee Red Hat Ante
I'm amazed that it has been only twelve days since my last blog. So much has happened since. For starters, I got my first bjd. It's a Fairyland Pukifee Redhat Ante.
She is super adorable. It pretty much doesn't matter what wig or clothes she's wearing or what posture she's in. She is just so photogenic.
I bought my first pullips on 18th December 2010, and in just 24 days, my little family of dolls has grown to 13: two big Pullips, two little Pullips, one Pukifee, four Dollcena, four Kellys and one Tommy. Plus an assortment of pets. It's really quite amazing, like the breaking of a dam. Within these 24 days also, I have had two intense conversations with God (visions) about opening a doll shop.
Interestingly, I checked the meaning of Ante, but only found boy's version (a variant of Anthony, meaning "invaluable or inestimable". Another website says it means "beyond praise"). Then I tried the English dictionary and it's a real word! It is either a poker term which means "a fixed but arbitrary stake put into the pot by each player before the deal" or "an amount of money paid in advance to insure an individual's share in a joint business venture". So it's sort of like a deposit for involvement!
Coupled with the two visions I got, I wonder if God is saying that little Pukifee Ante is a deposit given in advance of the doll shop. Coincidentally, in medical terms, "ante-" also means "before". It would be interesting to see how all this unfolds.
