Thanks very much Pinkburrow. I just found the picture you posted of your Winter Shirley and she is absolutely beautiful, just how I had hoped my Winter Shirley would be! I have left a message at Minoru in their Q and A section. I hope they still have some of the sculpt - their website says she is now sold out!
Hi Lily1919, winter Shirley is absolutely delightful and very photogenic! Im quite sure minoruworld will make a new shirley for u if they did run out. =) hope you get your little girl really soon!
Oh Lily9191, I can't believe they sent you wrong headI hope everything works out in the end and you get your Shirley!
Hey, maybe you'll luck out and they'll send you the Shirley head plus let you keep the Sam one for stress and trouble? :P One can dream, right?
I'm also curious, how does the Sam head look overall on the junior body, in your opinion (if you don't mind me asking, and if you do, just pretend I never asked this)?
An update: Minoru world have contacted me and have been really helpful. They are going to swop heads and have offered to pay postage costs. Thank you all for your help and your comments. The Sam head is sweet but it was Shirley that I fell in love with! And seeing her in Pinkburrow's photos made me want her more!
Baxterbrat - it's interesting but the Sam head looks fine on the Junior body - I didn't realise it was really a yo-sd sized head (Shiny Fairy?) because it looks quite natural. I thought that perhaps the heads were the same size as maybe the smaller doll is supposed to be younger? The wig fits really tightly so it can't be smaller I wouldn't think. I'll take a photo before the head goes back and post it so you can see.
Once again, thank you all. I will look forward to getting my little (temporarily) decapitated Shirley!
Hi Baxterbrat.
Here is the Sam head on the Junior body. I think it looks OK and she looks really pretty - it's just that might heart was set on Shirley. Let me know what you think!
Oh my, gorgeous girl (even if she is the wrong head)!!! But this certainly throws a monkey wrench into my dollie plans if the Shiny heads look so good on the Junior bodies.... oh dear oh dear oh dear!!
Oh wow, thank you so much for the pictures, Lily1919, she is rather pretty but I totally understand having your heart set on something else. Besides, there are never enough Shirley's, so it will be awesome to have a new one in the thread!
I'm glad that MinoruWorld came through for you (and woo payed shipping! XP )!
Oh, she does look quite pretty on the junior body, doesn't she! Oh dear, how terrible ahaha! I may be wanting some Shiny heads for junior bodies in future...
Can't wait to see your Shirley when her proper head arrives, though, Lily1919! She is such a pretty sculpt!
My spooky little Abigail came back from her faceup! I had pupilless blue eyes in before but they looked too scary with the new faceup so I changed them back to her default.
I also made a new dress to suit her new "gothy" look.
She looks great and that dress is perfect for her goth look! Cute and spooky at the same time - adorable!

Kastalia What an interesting faceup! She certainly looks more creepy now! I love the dress, too!
Sirius53Black Oh, how pretty! I love the flowers on the table as well!
Crispin was feeling a bit left out since all of my other boys have top hats, so I got him a little white one to go with his riding suit. It still needs some accoutrements to spiff it up, but he's pleased to be more properly one of the boys, now!
Kastalia Abigail's new look is really dramatic - her dress suits the look perfectly.
Sirius53Black Sakura looks so delicate and ethereal in her costume - so pretty!
angelcallie Crispin looks rather dashing indeed!
I can join you on the thread as my Leila arrived today. She was a complete impulse buy from the MP but I am quite smitten. Sadly I could only get one blurry picture of her and will have to wait until the weekend to take more, as we are in the depths of winter here in NZ. This is my Hebe.

Abit late but Sakura is so beautiful!!
crisper is dressed so handsomely!!
Honeythrope!! Hebe is so sweet! And just to keep u updated, little Tf Denis is doing well an has lots of companisons =)
I can't keep up ;A;
Everyone's dolls are gorgeous, and that Sakura!!!! Congratulations on your new Hebe, Honeythorpe!!
thanks pinkburrow I am glad to hear Denis is doing well. I have to say, when I opened Hebe's box I did think of her and wonder how she was doing so I'm glad to hear she is well loved and has friends.I think this MW Jr size is perfect for me - the proportions instantly reminded me of what I loved about the TF but at a size I can cope with!
thanks Peppermintsheep
I am going to have fun working out what we have here that will fit her - she's currently wearing a LTF dress and some msd ruffle shorts - neither of which quite fit. Happily her shoes are the perfect fit and it's all about the shoes right? And I'm already thinking about a sister for her and maybe a brother too
it's finally the weekend and of course, it's pouring with rain and hailing so I still can't take a fantastic photo of Hebe, but here is a closer shot of her cute faceup. More pictures on my flickr

Hebe is a cutie! I love her hair, and her faceup really is adorable! Congratulations on the new arrival!

Thanks everyone for the kind words about Sakura. ^_^ I had a hard time making the costume but it was worth the effort. She won Fan Favorite in the compatition and I won a new doll! A BF May....I was so amazed.
I do have to start working on her 'normal' outfit at some point though....the poor girl hardly has anything to wear it seems.
