Whether you are shopping for a BJD-lover for the holidays, or buying something for yourself, there are great items available for the collector in every price range! As anyone who has been collecting for a while knows, many doll companies offer special events with free shipping, free items, and discounts around this time.  We have been keeping track and posting them on the Company Sales Events page. Of course, at this point, the chances of delivery for Christmas are slim-to-none, but even if the items can’t arrive in time, a photo may be an acceptable stand-in especially if the present is a long-desired doll!

This year, so many retailers were offering special deals that we also added a Retail Sales Events page to the site. Many retailer who carry dolls have some in-stock and ready for shipping. While there is less choice of dolls available, the shipping may be considerably less, especially if the doll is being shipped domestically or with a free-shipping offer.

In addition, Some of the artistic people we have profiled on BJDcollectasy have many wonderful things available for sale right now.  Here’s a guide to what is being offered by  some of the very talented people and small companies we have profiled.

Bergen Fields

Bergen has lots of wonderful outfits and just finished two frothy fashions for SD BJD girls who might need something for all the Holiday Parties. About the first, Shinny,  Bergen wrote, “I can’t help but sing “Her name was Lola, she was a show girl”  But she is in pink instead of yellow!  Layers of pink and lavender tulle make up the skirt, high in the front and long in the back.  The top is pink and hot/lavender sequins.  Her hat has vintage feathers.  The top closes with grommets to adjust to any bust size.” About her second costume, Electric Fuchsia she said, ” The top and top layer of skirt are made of a slightly fuzzy metallic fabric, the underskirt and shawl are a sheer metallic. The shawl is a large triangle with a matching long fringe, you can do a lot with this shawl. There is an attached slip of tulle with a ruffle of sparkle. The Batty Hair Piece has a hair clip on the back. The corset top closes up the back with grommets for easy adjustment to any bust size and the skirt closes with velcro. Bergan’s outfits are in the $65-85 range To inquire about purchasing fashions from Bergen, email her at this address. Her items are shipped Priority Mail from California.
