Are you ready for the new year?

Friday, December 31st, 2010

Wow!

It’s been such a busy year. I can’t believe so much time has gone by so quickly, can you?

The first decade of the 2000s is passing and we are moving into the next. Volks USA has been with you for half of that decade and it is only because of all of the support from our customers that we have been able to do as much as we have.

We really hope that you will continue to support us here at Volks USA,  Super Dollfie, Dollfie Dream, Dollfie, the Super Wing Series and everything that might come in a year, 5, or even 10 more years! We will continue to work hard and bring you only the best to enrich and bring happiness to your hobbies and life!

However you choose to celebrate, with family, with friends, or a quiet evening at home, please have fun and be safe while you ring in the New Year!

Sincerely,

All of your Volks USA, Tenshi-no-Sumika in Los Angeles Staff

Showcase~Notions-5mm Translucent Buttons.

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

Greetings to you all!

We are really going through these button showcases, aren’t we?

I am really excited to show them to you, so I hope that you’re enjoying them.

Today I am going over the 5mm Translucent Buttons! Once again please refer to my first button post for a scale reference.

These buttons are really pretty. They are semi-transparent (as the name suggests) but also have a slight pearlescent finish on the “right” side.

We offer these buttons in 7 colors! 10 buttons come in every package of this type!

On the top row we have White, Off White, Light Blue and  Red.

On the bottom row we have Rouge Red, Dark Tea Brown, and Black!

You can really see the sheen on these buttons in this photo. Something like this will help to give just the right touch of shine to your piece.

Please look forward to the next blog entry!

Paging a customer!

Thursday, December 30th, 2010

Hi everyone! We are yet again looking for another customer, could he be you?

On Wednesday (12/29) afternoon we received a call here at Tenshi-no-Sumika Los Angeles. We, for some reason, did not hear the call,  but we did receive and listen to the voice message left.  In the message, a gentleman expressed some concerns regarding his Saber Lily and Avalon order.

This gentleman unfortunately did not leave his name, order number or a phone number,  so we have not been able to contact him back.

If said gentleman is reading this now, please email us at:  service@volksusa.com and we will be happy to help you!

Thank you very much.

Wednesday, December 29th, 2010

Hello again!

I have yet another installment of the Notions showcase for you today.

Today, as the title suggests, I’ll be showing you the 5mm clear buttons!

These, like the solid color flat buttons, have two holes in them for attachment.

I won’t be showing you the size alone, please refer to the first buttons post for a scale reference.

The buttons come in 10 different colors! You get 10 buttons in every package of this type.

On the top row we have White, Yellow and Pink.

The bottom row is Light Blue and Orange.

Here the top row is Red, Deep Blue, and Green.

Bottom row is Purple and Tea Brown.

It’s interesting to note that the “White” button in this series is completely clear.

I think these buttons are really unusual and I’d love to see what you can do with them! If you make something, please send us your photos.

Showcase~Notions-Toggles!

Tuesday, December 28th, 2010

Hey everyone!

How are you all doing? I hope you are all keeping warm and safe wherever you are!

By the way, I added some more photos to the 6mm Rounded Buttons post, so go take a look!

Today, I am going to show you the two types of toggles which we offer. Either of these are perfect for little coats and other outerwear.

They come in an oval shape…

…as well as a horn shape. The “horn” toggle mimics the style of natural horn toggles, but is cast from plastic.
