Total attendees = 6. Six people and scores of dolls attended today's meetup! Not all dolls shown, as I have absolved myself of the duty of taking pictures of regular resin attendees. Click photos to enlarge. vermont chick has photos on her blog.

Hello doll enthusiasts! Come to the Vermont Doll Lovers' meetup on Saturday, April 11th, 1-4 PM! As usual, we'll be in the Koolvord Room, Brownell Library, 6 Lincoln St., Essex Jct., VT 05452. Even if the weather says otherwise, the calendar says it's spring. Therefore you are encouraged to bring seasonally appropriate outfits, accessories, decorations, props, sets, etc., for your dolls. Brownell Library is very accessible to people with mobility impairments. There is plenty of free parking, and the library is also right on the CCTA #2 Essex Junction route, so you can get there without a car. If you are coming from the Burlington area and need a ride, please get in touch with me. I may be able to provide a carpool. As always, VTDL welcomes all kinds of doll lovers and all kinds of dolls. There are no prerequisites to attendance; you don't even need to have dolls. You just need to like 'em!

Hi doll lovers! Come one and all to VTDL's March meetup on Saturday, March 14th. Please note that it is held at a non-standard time: 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM. As usual, we'll be in the Koolvord Room, Brownell Library, 6 Lincoln St., Essex Jct., VT 05452. Our March get-together will occur just days before St. Patrick's Day, so seasonally appropriate outfits, accessories, decorations, props, sets, etc., for your dolls.

Total attendees = 4. With many of our regulars engaged in other commitments, we had a small gathering this afternoon, just me, Lyrajean, vermont chick and a newcomer, Becca. In celebration of Halloween, attendees showed up with costumed dolls, copious pumpkins, a small-scale graveyard and articulated skeletons, so our dolls got festive. vermont chick has photos on her blog.

I just changed the name and URL. With regular attendees from outside the county, the name CCDC no longer accurately reflects what we're about. "Vermont Doll Lovers" sums it up better. Though we welcome people from anywhere, we focus on providing a community for Green Mountain State doll enthusiasts. Now to update everyone...

Total attendees = 12. Yesterday CCDC welcomed its largest complement of attendees ever! A whole dozen of us attended, including newcomers Pink and their husband [from Maine] and Pink's friend from Quebec [who doesn't have any dolls...yet]. We spent the entire extended duration [noon to 4:00 PM] talking dolls, posing and photoing them, in between side conversations about mutual interests such as Monster High, Internet-based cartoons and fursuits. As far as I can tell, everyone enjoyed themselves. :D vermont chick has two posts of photos on her blog: here and here.

Our next CCDC meetup occurs on a nonstandard date and nonstandard time. We're meeting on Saturday, August 23rd, from 12:00 to 4:00 PM, in the Koolvord Room, Brownell Library, 5 Lincoln St., Essex Jct., VT 05452. PLEASE NOTE: The library is closed during this time, but I will have a key. Use the door around back to enter. The front door will be locked. I've extended the time available because we have fellow doll lovers from Maine and Quebec planning to visit! We're going international! :p

Total attendees = 9. Nine people and God knows how many dolls attended last Saturday's get-together. For the very first time, other types of dolls outnumbered the BJDs! Monster Highs represented very well, thanks to Shannon. Some attendees had dolls that did not come with them. I encouraged these enthusiasts to bring their dolls [including vintage and antique!] next time for even more doll-related fun. Maybe someday we'll have like 10 active members.... Oh well, I can dream, right? :D Onto the photos!!! vermont chick's photos appear on her blog.
