June Schedule Announcement
From the Desk of Sybil

Dear Friends,

I have spent the better part of this month conducting important investigations within the Hall of Unsent Letters. As it turns out, humans write an astonishing number of letters they never mail. Some are tied with ribbons, some are tucked into books, and some have gathered enough dust to make even a cat sneeze.

Ellowyne, of course, has been quite reflective lately. She has been sorting through old memories, unfinished thoughts, and words left unsaid while spending her afternoons among the shelves of this curious room. It is all very poetic, if you enjoy that sort of thing.

This month's ensemble, Sealed with a Sigh, captures the quiet beauty of the Hall of Unsent Letters, where wistful thoughts, forgotten correspondence, and treasured memories wait patiently to be rediscovered.

We hope you'll join us on Friday, June 12th as we step into one of the most intriguing rooms in Ellowyne's home and uncover a story that is equal parts thoughtful, romantic, and mysterious.

June Unboxing Premiere

Now, if you'll excuse me, there are several unopened envelopes requiring immediate feline inspection.

Warmly,

Sybil
Keeper of Secrets, Inspector of Correspondence, and Occasional Letter Warme

I have reluctantly agreed to share details regarding The Traveler, though I still maintain the carpet bag belongs primarily to me. Conveniently, I fit inside it perfectly.

This mysterious young lady arrives with striking rooted red hair, a wardrobe suited for woodland wanderings and forgotten railway platforms, and the sort of thoughtful expression that suggests she knows far more than she intends to tell you. She appears to collect stories, secrets, and perhaps a few overdue library books.

The Traveler is the second-to-last doll in Robert Tonner’s Dark Academia series and will be limited to just 195 dolls, with 5 reserved for Robert’s personal archive. She will be available May 15th for $260.00.

Do try not to look too suspicious when you inevitably fall in love with her.

— Sybil

“The Traveler” Ellowyne Wilde will be for sale in the Ellowyne Wilde Boutique on May 15th at 11 AM MDT.

ELLOWYNE WILDE — MAY REVEAL
Friday, May 15th at 10 AM MDT

Collector,

You’ve arrived at just the right moment.

Ellowyne has taken to the dining room again—her preferred stage for these quiet little performances. The chandelier glows, the table is set (far too perfectly), and she moves about as though guests are expected.

They are not.

And yet… she insists on dressing for them.

There has been an unusual hush in the house these past few days. Silks whispering. Jewelry laid out with great intention. A certain… theatrical composure settling over everything.

This latest ensemble—Lachrymostest Hostess—is, I suspect, less about entertaining and more about atmosphere. A mood carefully constructed. Something delicate. Something dramatic. Something just a touch indulgent.

As for me, I have been presented with my own “perfectly appropriate” arrangement.

It is, as expected, entirely insufficient.

Still… I will be watching.

You may do the same when the curtain lifts at 10 AM MDT.

There will be shopping after (and an Ellowyne Wilde doll for sale) at 11 AM MDT - more details to come.

I suggest you don’t miss it.

Yours (and always observing),
Sybil

Something clever is quietly making its way through Anne’s world…

Join us this Friday at 10 AM MDT for the Anne Subscription Box Reveal, featuring Rachel, Mark Tinkey, and Diana Vining as they come together to unveil this month’s charming new adventure.

This box is filled with a sense of woodland wonder—playful, imaginative, and just a little bit mischievous. It’s one of those themes that feels like stepping into a story… the kind that begins with curiosity and unfolds into something truly magical.

We’ve poured so much heart into this one—from the design and storytelling to the beautiful details and creative extras—and we cannot wait for you to experience it alongside us.

And for those who fall in love with this month’s look, additional shopping for the coordinating add-on outfit will open at 11 AM MDT in the Anne Boutique.

Set your reminders—this is a reveal you won’t want to miss.

Lacie Churchill is back—and she means business.

Meet “Risky Business”—a true go-getter with a fearless sense of style and just the right edge. For Lacie, it’s all about taking chances, turning heads, and owning every room she walks into.

Dressed to command attention, she pairs a sleek, modern silhouette with bold black elements that feel both powerful and refined. The look is clean, confident, and undeniably chic—perfectly tailored for a woman who knows exactly what she wants. Her interchangeable black hands double as striking “gloves,” adding that extra layer of drama and polish that takes the entire outfit to the next level.

She arrives exactly as shown, complete with all accessories.

Modern, confident, and unapologetically bold… Lacie isn’t waiting for permission.

Limited to just 145 dolls, she goes on sale this Friday at 11 AM in conjunction with the Grace Historical Subscription. $230.00

The dolls will be for sale in the Grace Boutique.

Journey Through Time: Historical Subscription Box Reveal – April

Something vibrant, adventurous, and undeniably chic is on the horizon…

This month, we step into the spirited world of 1950s travel—where fashion met freedom and every outfit was designed to move. Inspired by the glamour of European streets and the rise of the iconic Vespa, April’s ensemble captures that perfect balance of polish and play.

Bold prints, striking color, and a silhouette made for motion—this look is full of personality. From the beautifully tailored lines to the eye-catching accessories, every detail feels intentional, expressive, and ready for wherever the day might lead. It’s the kind of outfit that doesn’t just sit pretty on a shelf… it tells a story.

Join Christopher and Tamara Casey for the full reveal at 10 AM MDT, where they’ll share the inspiration and craftsmanship behind this stunning design.

Then, at 11 AM MDT, shopping opens for “Risky Business” Lacie Churchill, arriving as the perfect companion to this month’s theme.

This is one of those moments where history, fashion, and storytelling come together in the most exciting way—and we cannot wait to share it with you.

A Note from Sybil

Something rather quiet has made its way in… the sort of presence one doesn’t notice at first, and then suddenly cannot ignore.

They are calling her The Dreamer. An ambitious title, though I admit—it suits her. Those side-glancing eyes never quite meet yours, as if she’s looking past you… or perhaps through you. I find it mildly unsettling.

Her hair is quite excessive. Long, flowing, and altogether too soft—like it belongs in some overgrown garden where no one has been sensible in years.

There is a certain delicacy to her. Light, airy… almost as though she might drift off if not properly supervised. I believe this is what is being referred to as fairy core. I remain unconvinced.

She will be appearing—briefly, I suspect—in the Ellowyne Boutique on April 17th at 11 AM MDT, priced at $225.00.

Do try to be punctual. She does not seem like one who waits.

—Sybil

Oh… you’ve come to the aviary.

How fitting.

I suppose it was only a matter of time before Ellowyne unveiled Feather Weather. Not the sensible kind, of course—nothing practical ever happens here—but the sort that drifts, catches the light, and insists on being noticed. Feathers that refuse to behave. Texture that moves when you do. It’s all very… theatrical.

Her April look—Feather Weather—is a study in softness with just enough attitude to make it interesting. There’s a delicate, airy top that seems to float around her, layered with whisper-light feathers that catch every bit of light (and, unfortunately, my attention). Paired with the most perfectly tailored blush trousers—sleek, structured, and entirely too polished for all this fluff—it creates a look that somehow balances chaos and control. I will admit… it works.

And the shoes. I noticed those immediately. Soft, plush, and just indulgent enough to make walking look like a performance rather than a necessity.

And then there’s me.

Apparently, I am now part of Feather Weather. Yes—matching. A feathered collar, tied just so, as if I agreed to this arrangement. I didn’t. But if one must participate in such things, one should at least do it flawlessly. Which, of course, I do.

This month, we retreat into Ellowyne’s aviary—her sanctuary of light, greenery, and entirely too many birds watching everything unfold. Fitting, really. There will be Tamara’s newest pattern (her third—and this one leans deliciously into Dark Academia, which I find far more appropriate), and a certain presence from that world… The Dreamer. Quiet. Observant. I approve.

If you’re curious—and I know you are—the unboxing of Feather Weather will air on VDC Facebook and YouTube at 10 AM MDT on April 17th.

And for those who never stop at just one… shopping for 50 extra boxes, along with The Dreamer Neema (who is the 4th installment in the Dark Academia Series by Robert Tonner) will begin at 11 AM MDT in the Ellowyne Boutique.

You’ll see everything soon enough.

I’ll be there.

Perfectly styled.

Watching.

As always.

Step into a world where imagination runs wild and nothing is quite as it seems… Join us for Anne’s Clubhouse Box Reveal, featuring the Outfit of the Month beautifully designed by Mark Tinkey, along with the most delightful, whimsical crafts by Diana Vining.

After the video, continue the journey with shopping at 11 AM MDT in the Anne Boutique—where a companion outfit and two very limited themed Anne dolls will be waiting… if you’re quick enough.

You won’t want to be late for this very important date.
