Finally! I got a Sophie doll..and the one I wanted.Thanks Emily :)

12,000!!

liz · January 29, 2008 at 02:05 PM

UGH! I'm SO upset I missed the pencil cases!!! I'm always there for your updates, but today my car decided to break down and I was 3 minutes late and missed all of them! In case you can't tell, I'm pretty upset!

Kelly · January 29, 2008 at 02:06 PM

Are their faces painted on or printed? It's hard to tell from a photo.

kiwi · January 29, 2008 at 02:06 PM

your items sold out so fast...
it looked like the update never happened

Steff · January 29, 2008 at 02:08 PM

Oh I love them so! If I got one, though, my dear Peeps cat would make it her own (and ruin it). I have to enjoy them vicariously.

Although I didn't get a painting today, I enjoyed the update. I wish I could have sprung for Fern--what a shame February is the paying-off debts month! Congratulations on your success.

moya · January 29, 2008 at 02:08 PM

Oooh...heartbreak! Some maverick snatched up the pink-haired sophie doll before I could. :( Hope to see more of these lovlies one day soon!

Sarah · January 29, 2008 at 02:08 PM

Congrats on that update, Em!

Stephanie Wheeler · January 29, 2008 at 02:08 PM

Boo...I missed the pouches :(
(dial up is a drag...)

Daphne · January 29, 2008 at 02:09 PM

My goodness, what a thing to watch :) 5 minutes later and everything is as it was before!

I would have loved a Sophie doll but I am majestically poor. They are so sweet.

Amazing update!

Heather · January 29, 2008 at 02:09 PM

I blinked and everything was gone...
(Boo...again)

Daphne · January 29, 2008 at 02:10 PM

I soo wished I would have scored the little pink haired dolly.

They are all so cute!!!!..Can't wait to buy one!!!!...and I have a totally random question....how do you crop your pictures that way with the round borders and also with the scalloped borders?...I'm dying to know!

Irene · January 29, 2008 at 02:11 PM

They are lovely, Emily! As always, your dolls are a hit!

Marie · January 29, 2008 at 02:16 PM

I watched all morning and still missed them all.....pooh!

eydie · January 29, 2008 at 02:17 PM

uuuuuhh finally, I got my doll!
I'm so happy, it makes my day!
Though I would have loved to own the Fern painting, I totally can't afford its price. Congrates on the success!

annejulie · January 29, 2008 at 02:26 PM

I'm new to this blog and theblackapple on etsy, but I must have one of the dolls eventually. They're so sweet. Alas, it's the end of the month and I don't get my February paycheck until later in the week.

Happily, I did get one of the squirrel cases so I have that to look forward to.

Becca · January 29, 2008 at 02:31 PM

Wow! That was truly exciting. Congrats on a most successful update! Well done.

Elisa · January 29, 2008 at 02:36 PM

OH Emily..
I know I am not the only one.. BUT I wanted circle-time. Had it in my cart (too long) I guess and someone else snapped it up. WOW, I guess to actually get one of your pieces, its like trying to win the lottery.
Anywho, enough of my sadness..Congrats on such a successful 5 minutes :D

<3 determined to get an original ~michelle

miss.michelle · January 29, 2008 at 02:43 PM

oh my - so much for a 5 minute update. you are a record breaker! send some peeps of yours to my shop! haha

i especially loved the pinky doll, too. she would have been nice company for my other girls...!!

missy k · January 29, 2008 at 02:49 PM

I could not even see the goods before they were already sold!! I entered at 1:59, then refreshed at 2:00 and even thought that update wasn't happening because of a net system, but I was wrong! Everthing was already sold!!!!! :( I hope I have better luck next time.

Armida · January 29, 2008 at 03:09 PM

When will you have another update? I want an original paint!!!!!! I wanted True Love so badly!!!!

Armida (terribly sad)

Armida · January 29, 2008 at 03:30 PM

men, that's lightning sales! As quick Luky-Luke-style sales! ah well, maybe next time! :)

Valerie Parizeault · January 29, 2008 at 03:48 PM

oh fer crying out loud ... i guess i should count myself lucky that i got a sophie doll before all this madness began, but really, i do so want a painting!! wahh. so happy for you and your success, though, emily.

Amy · January 29, 2008 at 05:08 PM

Pooh - I was too slow and I missed out on some of your goodies... I am especially sad to have missed out on a sweet squirrel-love pouch :( Congrats on such a quickly sold-out update tho!

P.S. I have also wondered how you crop your pictures with the rounded corners and scalloped borders so if you feel like sharing one day I'd love to know!

Suzanne · January 29, 2008 at 05:25 PM

Congrats on such a successful update - I watched all the new items disappear in under 4 mins - amazing! Must be such a rush for you - hope you are celebrating! :D

jen · January 29, 2008 at 05:30 PM

I'm still so excited about Fern! I can hardly wait for her to arrive! :)

Christina · January 29, 2008 at 06:22 PM

I used a time zone converter on the internet to work out what 2:00pm Eastern time in Athens, Georgia meant for me in little ol Western Australia. I promptly set my alarm for 4:00am the next morning but unfortunately I turned it off in my sleep and missed the shop update completely! Although, seeing the post from Jen that your goodies went in 4 minutes makes me realise I had a slim-to-none chance of snapping up one of your dolls anyway. *sigh* Perhaps next time! Congratulations on a wonderful update Emily, I am in love with all of your new pieces.

jessieofoz · January 29, 2008 at 06:31 PM

Oh my goodness!!
My husband purchased two prints from you as a Christmas gift for me....I just love them! I wanted a doll so badly and I even made my poor husband come home on his lunchbreak to get me one.....but they sold out so quickly! He logged in at 2:02!
Is there any way to get a doll? Do you take special orders? I am a teacher at a Montessori school and my kids would just enjoy her company (but I would always bring her home with me!) I am red-headed and was hoping to adopt the red-headed doll :(
they are just so lovely.

Cherish · January 29, 2008 at 07:52 PM

Emily this is getting so depressing! A year of trying for an update treat and never once have I made an update!!! I wanted some of those originals, they were fantastic and the dolls AHHHHHHHHHHH. You are amazing. I hope someday you will take custom orders!! And if anybody bails and doesn't pay on things let us know!! (FAT CHANCE I know!! LOL)

Susan · January 29, 2008 at 09:08 PM

Working BITES! Can't log on from work, so I couldn't get on the computer until now and everything is GONE. Phooey. I was so hoping for the red headed doll with blue eyes and the most beautiful necklace scarf. I want one of those for me...will have to learn to knit. Congrats on the totally quick sell out -- will have to settle for something else. Beautiful stuff!

Katie · January 29, 2008 at 09:33 PM

these are too cute! and I love those small knitted scarfs they've got! I really love your work by the way.

Carolina · January 30, 2008 at 06:32 AM

They are all lovely...day or night!
I especially love the freckly one.
Have a great update!

Diane Duda · January 30, 2008 at 08:16 AM

Curious · January 30, 2008 at 08:55 AM

oooooooh i missed out on the dolls-boo hoo! I hope you have more to come :) by the way how much were they? - thanks!

Dianna d. · January 30, 2008 at 09:50 AM

all are beautiful but the pink one I LOVE! Hugz Grace

Grace Palazzolo · January 30, 2008 at 10:30 AM

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these dolls. I think I must have one for my office. Will you have more of these anytime soon? thanks

kendra · January 30, 2008 at 11:03 AM

All with knee socks and scarves and expressive faces...They're beautiful.

Erin · January 30, 2008 at 01:38 PM

I really love your dolls, and my eight-year-old daughter does, too! I'm going to have to manage to get her one eventually. I went to the update, but like many others, it was over so quickly I didn't even see a single doll until they were all sold. Congratulations on your wonderful business.

If you get a chance, come by my journal and take a peek at my dolls, too: http://prudencepouts.typepad.com/ The way the doll with the black and pink buns turned out actually reminded me a bit of the photos of you on your blog.

Prudence · January 30, 2008 at 04:32 PM

oh man.... I waited finger poised on the reload arrow waiting waiting and waiting for the dolls.............. they never showed up! And then they were all sold! I will sit here waiting again..

kim · January 30, 2008 at 08:21 PM

.....yeah I agree with "susan" above. If anyone bails out of paying :)
I'm so desperate to having one of your originals that I'm getting ready to frame my "wee" house tea towel that I was so lucky to get to get from you :D

miss.michelle · January 31, 2008 at 01:09 AM

They are so adorable, I'm so happy they all got snatched up and are off to live in their new little homes!! Great job!

xoxo

Morgan · January 31, 2008 at 01:12 AM

These dolls are lovely, so sweet! Thank you for sharing :) Maybe one day I'll be quick enough to buy one!

Hannah hauntat · January 31, 2008 at 04:51 AM

Sounds and looks both busy and exciting.

gracia · January 31, 2008 at 07:00 AM

They are just darling. The eye are sooo perfect.. I just don't know how you do that!

tiffany · January 31, 2008 at 10:21 AM

okay--it has to be exciting and frustrating for you to hear the boo-hooing on here, but i must add! i've been longing for a doll from you, but mommy by day/nurse by night just does not allow me to get in on your sold out in 4 minutes dolls!!

i NEED one!!!! =)
