  • It starts with a Bang…

    In 2006, I got hooked to two different hobbies: travel and dolls. One fueled the need for the other: I end up wandering more, looking for places to buy things for my dolls. Unfortunately, both make a pretty big dent on my meager savings. Sayuri with Treeson, Ren, Ringo, Kyoko, and Loki
