So once upon a time when I just started the hobby, I wasn't expecting to have any girl dolls since I'm SO biased towards boys. Welp, so after buying a body for Rain, I have three girls now, although they are all tinies... at the moment?

Anyhow, *ahem* meet the Café Galileo girls! ฅ(*ΦωΦ*)ฅ

The Girls!

Yayoi & Miyu aka Milk! Considering that I'm biased towards boy dolls, I've never thought that I'd ever have a girl doll one day, let alone two! (Not counting Rain, since she's still a floating head at the moment LOL!) Both of them are still incomplete... Yayoi is still missing her outfit and I'm thinking of redoing Miyu's faceup, but I guess completing them (and some of the boys ¬_¬) will probably take some time.

Wigs Wardrobe Clearance!

Posted Sunday, May 04, 2014 // 19:31

So I got another wig for my Pukipuki Darjeeling... unlike the rest I got previously, this wig is only just a little loose on her head even with a wigcap, but somehow, I don't think this is the wig for her. For some reason, the name "Madeleine" popped into my mind when I saw her in this wig (or maybe I am just hungry)... Anyway, she'll be in this wig until I find that perfect wig for her. I guess I never give up LOL!

I just realized this girl alone has more wigs than my other tinies! Yayoi is another one! I did a little wardrobe cleaning today for the tiny tinies' wigs and will be putting some of them up for sale on DOA, like this one which I initially got for Yayoi:

I just wish it was easier finding wigs for the tiny dolls, especially pukipuki. Or maybe I'm just too picky about that perfect wig and style!

I'll be cleaning out more stuff for the tinies soon and will post them up gradually. Until then! >w<

Homemade Apple Crumble with Yayoi~♥

I tend to go for chocolate when it comes to desserts. Apple crumble is probably one of those rare fruit-based, non-chocolate dessert that I actually don't mind. I came across this Apple Crumble recipe and it seems quite easy enough to follow, so I decided to give it a try! Here's Yayoi showing you the result! o(>w<)o

And meanwhile, Happy Easter Eve!

After Fairyland Woosoo, I'm striking off another dolly off my acquisition list, or priority wishlist. This time, it's Rosenlied Monday Child Mango, who has also been on my wishlist for quite some time!

I ordered her on December 27, 2013 during one of Rosenlied's event and she arrived home on February 17, 2014 (yes I know, super late blog post LOL!!). In any case, Junsu volunteered to help with the box opening!! (⌒▽⌒)

GALILEO

the heck is Galileo?

Galileo is just a simple girl who goes by that moniker on Den of Angels. This is a blog of her BJDs as well as a humble showcase of her works from doll photography to outfits-making and so on. She is forever broke and will occasionally shamelessly advertise dolly items for sales. (๑ↀᆺↀ๑)

Sales FAQ

Frequently asked questions answered here!

[Q] Where can I buy from you?
[A] We are currently active on eBay and Den of Angel (DOA). You can check out our eBay Store and a list of all current Sales Threads on DOA. A plan to open a store on Etsy is still currently in the works.

[Q] Do you accept other payment methods other than Paypal?
[A] Unfortunately no. However, if you are from Singapore or have a Singapore bank account, we'll be able to accept local bank transfers.

[Q] What are the shipping options?
[A] For standard packages, we usually ship by Registered Airmail by default. This comes with basic tracking and takes approximately 14-18 working days for international delivery. For higher value purchases like doll, you will also be given the option to have it shipped by Speedpost Air or EMS.

[Q] How much can I expect shipping to cost?

[A] Shipping rates depend on the total quantity and weight of the items and starts from $3.25* for an lighter item (such as one dolly tee or a pair of eyes). You can combine more items in a single package to save on shipping, since they will share the same base registration cost. For example, two pairs of eyes (depending on size) will cost around $3.55 to $3.85 in combined shipping instead of $6.70 for separate mails. The final cost will depend on the total weight of the item(s) itself.

[Q] I have asked previously but was given a different shipping rate?
[A] All things equal, it is possible for shipping for the same item to vary due to the USD-SGD currency exchange rate. To keep prices current, we usually do a conversion at the point of enquiry, so there may be a slight difference in the shipping rate from time to time. However, the difference is usually minimal, depending on the exchange rate fluctuation.

[Q] Do you have a cheaper shipping alternative?

[A] You can opt for normal airmail without the mail registration and tracking but we do not recommend this option as there is no way to track your package if it get lost during transit. However, we can make an exception for lower-value packages (total value of less than $3) if you wish to save on shipping. But please note that we will not take responsibility for lost packages if you decide to opt for normal mail.

[Q] How will the items be packed?

[A] For smaller, standard purchases like eyes or outfits, the items will be sent securely packed in a bubbled envelope or bubbled wrapped in an envelope. Purchases that contain more or bigger items will be sent in a box.

[Q] Can you mark it as a gift or under-declare the value?

[A] We usually mark packages as "gift" by default but declare the total value of the package rounded down to the nearest dollar. If you wish to under-declare the value by more than a dollar, please inform me but do note that you may not be able to reclaim back the full value of your package if it gets lost during transit.

[Q] Do I need extra insurance?

[A] We do not require additional insurance but please note that we are not responsible for any loss or damage during transit as this is beyond our control once the package leaves our hands. However, shipping by registered mails in itself is also considered a kind of insurance, since you can trace your package and file a claim in the event the package get lost.

[Q] Is custom taxes included in the shipping?

[A] The shipping provided does not include custom taxes that your country may impose. The buyer is generally responsible for any custom taxes or fees as we are not familiar with your country's postal regulations and will not be able to advise on any potential fees you may incur.

[Q] How can I track my package?

[A] You can start tracking your package at Singpost. Once the package arrives in your country, you can begin tracking via your country's postal website if they have a track and trace function. Please refer to the list below for the tracking services of a few countries:

• United States: USPS
• United Kingdom: Royal Mail
• Canada: Canada Post
• Australia: AUSPost
• Japan: Japan Post
• South Korea: Korea Post

Alternatively, you can use Track & Trace to track. Please refer to the FAQ below for more info.

[Q] Using Track & Trace to track your package
[A] Firstly, go to Track & Trace, enter the tracking number and choose the "Track with Options" function. The system will automatically track the package from the SingPost's website. At the left corner, there will be a bar stating "Singapore" with "Select Country" below it. Click on "Select Country" to choose your country, for example, USA. The system will now re-track the package with the selected country's postal tracking system (e.g. USPS for USA).

[Q] The tracking does not seem to update.

[A] For more efficient tracking, please track the parcel at the country it is currently in. If the parcel has already been marked as "dispatched overseas" on the SingPost website and you're unable to get further updates on this package, please try to track the parcel at your country's postal system website for registered articles (if available), or use the Track & Trace website as mentioned in the earlier FAQ.

[Q] It has been more than 18 working days and I have not received my package?

[A] The 14-18 working days is just an estimate. The actual time taken for delivery may depend on a variety of factors. For example, custom checks, festive seasons and public holidays can potentially lead to delays. In such cases, please give it a few more days or an additional week or two for delivery.

[Q] I think my package might be lost, what should I do?

[A] If it has been over 3-4 weeks and you still have not receive your package and the tracking has not been updated, please let us know so that we can help you to raise an enquiry with the Singapore Post after 18 working days from the date of posting.

[Q] What should I do if the item was damaged during transit?

[A] We usually take care to pack the items carefully in order to minimize the risk of damage, but in the event that the item does arrived damaged, please take some photos of it and contact us immediately so that we can work something out. Your prompt notification and photos of the damaged item will also be helpful if there is a need to file a claim with the post.

[Q] I have a feedback/suggestion/more questions
[A] We take all sales seriously and your satisfaction and feedback is important to me. If you have any question, suggestion or feedback about your purchase, please do not hesitate to PM Galileo on DOA or eBay. We'd be more than happy to assist you! :)
