Doll Study Club Show II

I do not usually do this, the "this" being "spotlight one vendor from a show", but Diane had such a delightfully lovely display for this weekend's Doll Study Club show that I wanted you to see the photographs separately.

It is truly a shame that I did not take more pictures of what Diane brought, because each doll and each creature was more delightful than the last.  She hauled so many things from Connecticut that she deserves more of a medal than a blog entry.  I figure that a blog entry is the least i can do.

The crocheted sheep were simply adorable and they were only eight dollars each.  I do not know where my photo of the 'mouse in a teacup' went, but I simply loved him.  Diane had truly lovely taste in art dolls and hand made teddy bears.

Doll Study Club Show Photos

Yesterday's show put on by the Doll Study Club was a great success.  I bounded out early in the day to attend the show with my dog and spend the day with dollie friends.  Edgar enjoyed himself immensely.  I will post the 'regular' show pictures first.  In a separate entry, I will post the pictures of my dog so that everyone can see him.

The public attendance was not huge, but the vendors said that people were indeed happily spending money.  The Club had beautiful weather for everyone's safe travel and  they were very happy with the day's turnout.

There was a huge show in Philadelphia this same weekend.  Therefore, for a weekend with 'two shows', this one did quite well.  Vendors and collectors were happy.

The lunch menu was hot dogs, knish, tuna salad, egg salad, tuna and egg salad, side salad, coffee and soda. The grilled hot dogs were a big hit; everyone was yumming over the hot dogs, enthusing about how delicious they were.  I was very happy happy with my plain "tuna fish on a scrumptious bagel with crunchy lettuce side salad" lunch and very grateful to the ladies in the kitchen who kept me supplied with copious amounts of steaming hot coffee.

Raffle winners went home happy. I do not know who won the doll who was all dolled up in green cash.  I think the doll had fifty-something dollars on her.

If you click on the photos, you can make them larger.  Please feel free to link to Orchid's Blog or share these photos.  I took them for your enjoyment.

Elise

The extremely charming new centaur by DaisyDayes is available through 'pre-order' now.  Those of you who have told me, "I am dying for Daisy's work and I just cannot seem to get it!"
.
Well, this is your chance; make the best of it.  You can find 'Elise' here for adoption now:

I do realize that it is very unkind of me to wave my adorable fire pony around when there are simply 'none' to be had.  So, please make the best of this opportunity to get Elise.  It is unknown at this time if there will be 'another run'.

Uncanny Dream 2011

"Uncanny Dream" will be held May 29th, 2011 in Seattle, Washington.  If you simply cannot get enough of the dolls, you will not want to miss this event if you are in the vicinity of Seattle this May.  A number of very fine artists will be exhibiting their articulated dolls.  Vendors will definitely be around with some lovely doll goodies.  We are expecting this to be "the" doll event of the west coast for 2011.  One of those 'be there or be square' sort of things.
.
Rumor has it that DaisyDayes will be on hand with, perhaps, goblets galore.  Ignatz is incredibly endearing.
.
You will be able to see more than one of my dolls that the Queen of Slantways has been working on.  Please tell Clyde and Bramble that I said hello.  I am very proud of them.
