Summer's End Nostalgia

Today on the blog entitled "everydayadollie" Lisa posted this beautiful and serene photo of Poppy Parker floating in the pool. The shot is so realistic and such a pleasure to gaze at.
Thanks to Lisa for the permission to reblog.

Radio Days - A Look Back

Sandra Stillwell recently put on a convention in Cincinnati, Ohio called "Radio Days." Obviously the era was the time of high popularity of radio shows. There was no actual doll featured. The fashions of the era were the stars and several different manufacturer's dolls modeled.
Unfortunately the event coincided with our move and I was not able to go. I did purchase some of the little prop souvenirs. The radio is still available on Sandra's website. 
Click on the link to read about the planning and creation of the event. Sandra also has two sales pages where you can admire and purchase the remaining fashions and several other items from past events.

I'm a sucker for props and these are a wonderful addition to my ever growing collection.

Some of my favorite fashions are seen in the photos below:

You can see many more fashions and read about the wonderful activities the conventioneers took part in by going to Sandra's blog.

At Last - Photos

The camera is unpacked but the lights are not. I'm not quite sure where they are as there are still about 200 closed boxes. Sigh.
