50–65cm Dolls Grail girl comes home (Luts SDF Eveline)

What do you call a doll that's been on your wishlist for over a decade, since it was first released? I tend not to think about "grail dolls" too much, because it stresses me out a bit, but I think Senior Delf Eveline definitely fits that description. I had seen @hiduke had listed one in the Marketplace, and I would check back on her from time to time to see if she was still there. First I said to myself "if I get a promotion, I'll buy her to celebrate." Then when that didn't happen I said "when I get my tax return, then I'll buy her." And before I knew it more than a month of me thinking about her had gone by, and I decided it was time, because if I wait and miss out who knows when another one will come along. (I prefer to buy secondhand domestically when possible, but it also helps that I'm sentimental as heck and love giving older dolls a new home lol.) I couldn't be happier!

I love her rosy cheeks so much!! I decided on these glass eyes for her, they've been sitting unworn for years and they seem perfect for her.

Her elastic gave me some trouble, but nothing a quick trip to the craft store couldn't fix!

This wig I bought with her looks so good on her!! I think it'll be great for casual outfits and wearing hats, and it looks fantastic with her eyes!
