Found at the Doll Show

Trent!

I "needed" a Trent for a
fit model.

Plus, I love his over the top,
almost cartoonish look.
What do you think?

ASHENBERRY

Judith Eppolito of ASHENBERRY

made these beautiful animals.

Unfortunately, 

my camera work

did not do them justice.

Fortunately,
There is a website 
with photos
right HERE!

Raggedy Works of Heart

Katharine Longo

was showing at the doll and bear show

that I got to go to, last weekend.

I think her work is charming!

See her work, HERE!

Limerick Bear at the Doll Show

Lynn & Phil Gatto

make beautiful

hand crafted

animals and dolls

They describe them as
Original Designs
with the
Vintage Look

My photos do not do
justice to these beauties.

My faithful little camera does not
like large indoor spaces.

Much better pictures
HERE.

Doll Show Weekend

Madame Alexander Cissy

Hand made cloth doll

Reborn from a kit (?)

I'm too scattered to post more,
right now.
Some of my photos actually
"came out,"
so, I'll try to post again, soon.

Doll Show Tomorrow!

Excuse me, if I already posted these pictures.

I really like them, and I'm getting ready to help a friend at a doll show in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, tomorrow.

(giggle)

Bye Bye Bye (I hope)

I have a chance to go to a doll show next weekend.  There may be a chance to weed out my dolls.  Hopefully I'll pick up a few dolly dollars.  Maybe if I mark them low enough...?

My 2 "Big" Doll Show Purchases

This 16 inch hard plastic darling spoke to me before I had gone around the show once.

She appears to me to be a 'dress me," being only numerically marked and with a couple of unrefined places where the mold didn't meet.

She cost $15.    I washed her and added socks & shoes I had at home.

I shall enjoy making other clothes for her, I think.

A Monique wig for my "Bloom."

At $18, my husband was a little shocked. 

I figured - good price, no shipping & I had birthday $$.

Tee hee!

My other purchases were:

1 pair of dolly skates

1 bag of leather dress glove scraps.

1 large-ish bag of lace scraps

Yester-Dolls

For exquisite work and special details, their booth attracts me, every time. 
I don't have much for dolls that would justify buying these beautiful dresses, so I try not to break my heart over them.
The small pictures better represent the actual color.  The contrast has been increased in the larger pictures

to show more of the detail.

Carol's business is illustration,

 so these darlings would be her avocation, I'd say.

The porcelain darlings started out as someones mold.

The little brownies or fairies on the left are entirely original.

Close ups without my tripod

were a little bit

difficult!

Of course, this shot just begged for me to

"mess" with it.

Porter Emporium, Inc.

One of the booths at yesterday's doll show, was Porter Emporium's.

It's a real, "brick and morter" doll store & gift shop. 

Here we go!

Between the people I could see lots of Ginnys  plus a beautiful felt doll by R. John Wright!

This darling Masterpiece girl was hard to resist, but I hadn't

saved up enough money.

Someone's little girl was playing with the dolls...

...no, she's another Masterpiece doll!

Turning to go back out, I encountered

A Precious (Moments) couple.

(someone had put his hat on

backwards, I guess.)

I didn't photograph everything, of course,

but I missed the Tonner dolls.

How shocking!

Doll Show! Doll Show!

I drove alone for two hours, each way, today.  The doll show was small, but worth it. I'm pooped, but here are some pictures:

This booth represented several different artisans' work.
