Vermont Doll Lovers Valentine's meetup and swap/sale/get rid of it event, 02/13/2016

Total attendees = 6. Regulars Lyrajean, Melface, and Nerdy Victorian came to this Saturday's meetup, along with two newcomers, astraldoll7 [all the way from New York!] and Bittersweet Blue [all the way from southern Vermont!], each of whom had trekked over 2 hours to meet fellow doll lovers. Of course I was there too, with my usual complement of Valentine's props. Though I billed the meet as one with a Valentine's theme, we all paid much more attention to the swap/sale/get rid of it event going on concurrently. We spread wares across two tables: clothing and wigs that Lyrajean and I wanted to offload, furniture from Nerdy Victorian, and dolls and doll parts from Melface, astraldoll7, and Bittersweet Blue. While no large ticket items [i.e., dolls] exchanged hands, attendees did trade, sell, and/or give away smaller items. I -- and everyone else -- seemed to really enjoy seeing what others had to get rid of, especially as some items had never shown up at meets before. Thus
