MetroDolls Event Part I

Today we attended what felt like a mini doll convention in Iselin, New Jersey. This complex event was put on by the MetroDolls doll club. The members worked very hard to coordinate and pull off a luncheon that was very well attended not only by doll collectors but also by professional doll designers and artists. In addition to Robert Tonner who was the featured speaker, Doug James, Mel Odom and Paul Pham were there. Designers from all over the world sent in stunning creations for the charity auction.

Gabby and Violet Return

Gabby & Violett are coming back. Doug James is producing resin versions of the 16" dolls who were retired a few years ago after a brief life.  All of your Daisy and Willow fashions will fit and that tells me that Tyler fashions will also fit.
