Even though folks are visiting our website and buying stuff, it looks like NOBODY's taking advantage of our "Swimming in Savings" Summer Sale that's good for 20% off your entire order through September 30th. We put a big banner box announcing this sale on our home page. But apparently nobody's looking there.

We are not fans of announcement popups that block a web page and force the viewer to deal with the popup to get it out of the way. So we chose not to use those on our website. Instead, we decided to add a clickable "Discounts - Coupons - Sales" icon right on the main SHOP page so people can't miss it. Hope it works. Cuz nobody should skip a good discount on stuff they're gonna buy anyway!

Yes, I know we kept promising to add new stock to our shop. It's been months, and no new stuff. So what gives? Well, we had to move and reorganize our inventory, move our shop office/studio, and had to deal with some personal stuff as well. Excuses ... Excuses.

Well, we've finally added some new dolls and new clothing items to our shop. It's just a little bit right now, but we ARE in the process of adding more. It takes time to shoot/edit product photos and create web listings for everything. But we are working hard to bring you more great items. More for you, less for us to deal with! That's always a YES in my book.

To help you locate those new items faster, we've added a clickable "New Items" icon on the shop page. Those "new" items will be listed there, as well as in their regular product categories, until we add a new large batch of items. Then we will refresh the "New Items" list.

Last but not least, I want to encourage you to go see the BARBIE movie if you haven't already. It's hilarious. I wrote a little non-spoiler blog review about it. Click on the lovely Margo Robbie to check it out.

That's all for now!
