Let's help Japan!


Following the earthquake and tsunami which stroke Japan, many doll & Blythe community members quickly organized raffles & auctions to collect some money & raise funds. 

They can all be found in the Flickr group Dolly Community Unite for Japan.
Dollipop & Fishberry Jam  have also made lists of all the raffles, auctions & special sales.
Many thanks ! :-)


For Japan
A huge thank you to Gaia/Bambina Carabina for making this banner :-)

I want to help out as well, and I'm offering a Patchwork Princess set for Blythe dolls.
100% of the funds collected will be donated to help Japan:
50 % of the proceeds will be given to Japan Earthquake Animal Rescue and Support and the other 50% 

Patchwork Princess for Japan

The method is a raffle :-) 
Tickets are $5 (USD) and you can purchase as many as you want. 
You'll be given a number with every ticket purchased. The raffle will be open until Monday (28th) midnight, (Paris time). I will use random.org to pick up the winner.
I will cover the cost of shipping and will send the set via registered/insured airmail.


This Patchwork Princess set includes:
- a pair of flared hazelnut corduroy trousers (fully hemmed)
- a petal pink mohair knitted sweater with slightly bell sleeves, 
- a moss green crochetted hat,
- a flower hairpin,
- a blue woollen scarf,
- a Patchwork Princess bag: lined, with adjustable strap and featuring vintage glass bell flowers.

All items fasten with snaps.
Should you have any questions, please feel free to email me :-)

I will update this post as the raffle goes on to keep you informed all along.
Many thanks !
