Oh dear...
That's in British Pounds (£) which, unfortunately, due to the international exchange rate, translates to about 39.99 US Dollars ($). I'm terribly sorry if there was any misunderstanding. If there's any confusion, all prices are listed at my shop.

Hi again,
I was just thinking--I know $39 might seem a little steep, but if you like I could make you a Smurfling-sized Handy doll for $24.99 US dollars. My Sassette doll just recently sold for that price, and I'm making a new one now, but I was thinking that it might be a fun challenge to figure out a way to modify her pattern for Handy.
Let me know if you're interested, and once I've finished the doll, I'll post a picture of it here. If you like it, I'll put it up on my Etsy shop. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Hi Rowena,
Just to let you know I will have some money coming in to my account tomorrow, so I will be able to buy Marina from your shop tomorrow. I've worked the price out to be £19.38, which is OK and perfectly reasonable to me. Me and my Handy plush can't wait to see her! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Hi Rocker Smurf!
That's great! I went to Etsy and deleted Marina's shipping/handling cost for within the UK, and it'll stay at zero until midnight tonight. Without the shipping/handling, Etsy estimates the doll should cost £16.59. If you place your order today, I can send Marina on her way to you tomorrow! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Hi again!
Well, Marina caught the Royal Mail current this morning, and she should hopefully show up at your door tomorrow. I hope you and your Handy plush like her! ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

Dear Rowena,
My mon is interested in both dolls so i think i am getting the smurfling size Handy doll. My mom wants to see it on the site so she can buy in from the site. I have the money and im not sure if she will buy the fullsized handy or smurfling size. She is still thinking about it, i showed her the site and she loves your work and thinks they are very cute. I will have the final dicision by dec 2.
Yours Smurfily, MrsHandySmurf

Smurfy! I'm glad your mom likes my dolls. I've started working on the Handy Smurfling doll. I'll do my best to finish him by Dec. 2, and then I'll post a picture here. If you like it and you decide that you want him, I'll up him up on my Etsy shop for you. ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

The one I'm making now is the first and only Handy Smurfling doll I've ever made, and I'm essentially making it up as I go. Same with the Handy Smurf doll I made for my brother. They're each one of a kind. But, once I've figured out how to make one, I can always make more. They won't be exactly the same as the first, prototype doll because they're all handmade. Also, I'm always tweaking and improving the patterns, and the exact type of yarn I used for one doll isn't always available when I go to make another so, sometimes, I have to substitute slightly different colors and textures. But that's the fun of it. Each doll is unique!
As for whether or not there are other Handy Smurfling dolls out there in the world...I don't know! Guess I'd have to do a search. ![[Cool]](cool.gif)

And here are a couple of pictures I took of the smurfy couple.
Here Handy and Marina hug upon her arrival:

And here the happily reunited couple smile together for the camera:
