Just after Christmas 2013, I received a mysterious doll-sized box in the mail. It was actually just lying on my doorstop. I saw that the return address was that of fantasy artist Nene Thomas. This was the third such surprise package I'd received from her. One was many years ago and contained a Volks Cyndy 2 fullset. The other was just last year and was a MSD-sized Impl Doll Vivien. She my heart beat a bit faster as I brought the box inside to open it!!!

PURCHASED FROM: N/A-- Surprise Gift from Nene Thomas (previous owner).
PURCHASE DATE: Miyu dolls were made from 2005 to 2011 and came with Type 1 or Type 2 bodies. I believe this one was fairly early, but I'm not sure.
ARRIVAL DATE: Feb 6, 2014.
CAME WITH: Faceup, wig, eyes, boots.
Bubble-wrapped mummy in box. There was a hole in the box, but nothing damaged inside.
Extras from Nene-- Straight blonde wig, Black Boots.
She's got a lovely face. Her eyelashes were a little smashed, but her faceup is in perfect condition--just like her entire body.
Zone of Zen had a red theme in February, so I put her into a lovely dress by PamSD and used the pretty wig she came with and took some quick photos.
My first 4 or so dolls were CP Delfs, but they are all ws with elf-ears... Miyu (Mina) is ns, with human ears... but she looks very elfin in this dress with the long hair and her big, soul-full eyes, I think.
Here she is with the first doll Nene sent me about 8 years ago... a Volks Cyndy 2 (Tsukiko). They look pretty good together, I think... They might be sisters.
