Vermont Doll Lovers

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 = 4. The first meetup of the new year kicked off with me, Lyrajean, Nerdy Victorian, and vermont chick attending. Some of us spent about an hour discussing Star Wars: The Force Awakens [Kylo Ren and BB-8 mostly], although we did manage to take pictures of some dolls. vermont chick has photos on her blog too.

Total attendees = 5. vermont chick, Lyrajean, NerdyVictorian, Melface, and a potential member showed up for last Saturday's meetup. Bicycles and tricycles made a big showing, tested by almost all, but the real star was undisputedly vermont chick's Aileen Doll Lapis dragon, who, much like her Fairyland Pukipukis, got into everything. vermont chick has two photo posts on her blog: part 1 and part 2.

Total attendees = 5. vermont chick, Nerdy Victorian [Becca], DragonGems [referred to elsewhere on this blog as Megan], Lyrajean and I gathered for some celebration of impending spring. Dolls arrived decked out in vernal finery, with a sprinkling of green and shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day.

Total attendees = 5. Five people and at least five times that many dolls showed up to VTDL's first get-together of 2015: me, Lyrajean, vermont chick, Nerdy Victorian and Megan. Lyrajean's photos can be found on the DOA meetup thread. vermont chick has two blog posts of photos: here and here.
