Total attendees = 5. Number of dolls that Mary brought = n, where n is a very large number! Number of photos I took of totally groovy 1970s paper doll fashions = x, where x is a very large number!

Total attendees = 8! I apologize for the poor quality of the photos. I took some with my tablet, which doesn't have a very good camera. Then a lot of those that I took with my decent camera ended up blurry for unknown reasons. Dammit. Two newcomers came, Mary and Kathy, the latter of which traveled up from western Massachusetts. I notice that attendees increase during the summer, probably because the weather is good for traveling. Urban Hermit, who first attended last July, swung down from Montreal, making this meet an international one. I think I'll invite the Montreal folks to next month's meetup...

Total attendees = 6. Lyrajean, vermont chick, Bittersweet Blue, Melface, and Shannon showed up today for our meet. The steampunk theme was mostly my ploy to get Bittersweet Blue to bring back her 1:4 scale telescope. Top hats, brass, ruffles, and other vaguely steampunky accoutrements also appeared on others' dolls. I have realized that we always have much more fun with a variety of props. Check the pictures below for details. Click on any picture on enlarge. vermont chick has photos on her blog.

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 ...

Total attendees = 7. A plethora of pumpkins and other Halloweeny props gave everyone's dolls lots of fun photo ops at yesterday's meetup. Check out vermont chick's photos on her blog.

Total attendees = 7. VTDL welcomed two new attendees today. Besides regulars vermont chick, Lyrajean, Melface,  Nerdy Victorian, and me [Modern Wizard], Eris and A. showed up with many of Eris' in-progress projects [which explains the number of naked, hairless, paintless dolls]. Pictures follow. vermont chick's blog post with her photos is here.
