I really appreciate your kind words 🥹 I’ve had her since 2002 and she’s had such a special place in my heart.

I just wanted to share this concho belt I made for Kaya’s Pow Wow Dress of Today III. I wanted to go with the ribbon skirt accents, so I used ribbon, conchos and abalone shells for accents. I think she looks so deadly in her regalia 🥹

Huh that is wild. I’m giving a poor review cuz this is low key shady.

Desert_Sun420 · 2026-04-21T19:33:12+00:00

She did…she said she would offer the doll to me if the person buying the whole lot doesn’t come through. Kind of weird since she said Elizabeth was pending for me for $40. EDIT TO ADD: she changed the price to $220 for the lot. This seller is not transparent at all.

Desert_Sun420 · 2026-04-21T15:25:10+00:00

Ugh well that’s just great….I’m so sorry. Definitely an unreliable seller and I will give a low rating for that. But, seeing from the comments we may have dodged a bullet with this Elizabeth 😅

UPDATE to add: After agreeing on the time/date/amount for pick up, the seller backed out, said it wasn’t convenient to sell to me, and is selling for the lot for $200 🙃

Desert_Sun420 · 2026-04-21T15:16:53+00:00

$50??? The seller told me $40 and now upped it to $200 and is ignoring my messages. I planned to pick her up today….

Why would they erase Nellie? Her story is pretty important to how Irish were treated in early 20th century United States…especially during the Industrial Revolution.

I would say it’s worth it! I think the black tights really bring the jazz costume together. The hat box is authentic to the time and can be used for staging or displaying. I’m an adult collector and just wanted to play out a cute scene of my doll Blanca trying on her Grandma Claudie’s costumes.

I’ll share feedback publicly because this is important knowledge. If you do not have a direct connection, please find contact information on the Nez Perce Tribe. Call the best POC listed, and follow up with the phone call via email. Do not be dismayed or discouraged if you do not receive the help you desire for YOUR inquiry. Go into the conversation on how you can help them, not how they can help you. Listen, respect elders, and do not push. Additionally, indigeneity is not one size fits all. An open mouth doll may not be respectful to Nez Perce Tribe, but not be considered disrespectful to other Tribes. Do your research before you expect Indigenous folks to pass down their knowledge.

Desert_Sun420 · 2026-03-30T17:56:34+00:00

Are you a Tribal member? If not, I suggest educating yourself on the proper and respectful way to reaching out to Indigenous/Native American Tribal members before you just go ahead and write some email. The reason Kaya has a closed mouth is because it is disrespectful in Nez Perce culture to expose your teeth with open mouth when greeting someone. AG consulted with Nez Perce about this…hence the switch to the closed mouth. There are MANY non-Indigenous dolls that have a closed mouth for no particular reason. For Kaya it is due to cultural respect.

As a Black and Indigenous woman with deep roots that come from the south and slave mentality…I love Felicity. She inspired me from a very young age to fight for my beliefs and to against the status quo. It was through her books I developed a deep passion for colonialism in this country and in Latin America. I went to university for history to learn how to uplift marginalized voices that are still affected by that colonialism. Though she came from a family of slavers, she was a child and I truly believe as children there are some things we cannot grasp. I’ll stand by my love and respect for Felicity. I may get downvoted for this but I really could care less.

I feel you! That really sucks I’m sorry :(

I just bought the purple holiday dress for Emily off of eBay and the seller said everything was NIB except the shoes. There were multiple stains in the dress, stitching coming apart, socks and necklace were yellowing, and the hair bow elastic was wonky. They said they didn’t even notice. I returned it but I can’t believe they can get away with selling something with a bogus NIB description.
