Hello folks, well I did the show up in the Tweed in the Servicemens
Club.
Funny I couldn't find it everything seemed to have shrunken with the
new buildings storeys behind it! What a shame you think people would
learn wouldn't you. With their monies they hate the big smoke and
moved up there in the serene river quaintness and guess what they are
re creating what they have down here! Extroidenary! I think they
lost the plot!

Anyhows Jan McKlean led the show with all the pizzazz and little
girls running around the room singing lollypop, lollypop, I didn't
think much of that she was really advertising her dolls. Years ago
they were lovely but now I think they are over the top! They compete
with the US toy market!

I suppose that if you are a sculptor that is the way to go! But not
in the dollworld! I truly think it doesn't help the dollworld, or
the antique doll world or any of the likes!

She has other people making her special wigs, shoes, clothes, and we
are just people who embark on the hobby as a hobby not a commercial
stance!

Lovely thought though! No the dollworld seemed dead! No-one was
interested in buying anything, not even pretty clothing! But I did
stir up one thing in the pot! I snatched an unfinished Bluette, very
cute! She went instantly, and more people came in asking if I had a
Bluette! At least that is a start! Although the millettes are of
the same sizes. A thinner body or can be the same! Only the neck
part can differ!

Other than that there is really nothing to report! I looked around
to me it looked like a changing world! Of concrete jungles or the
beginnings of! Back to the drawing board! We all have to encourage
each other and see what we can come up with. I must say thank you
Candy seeing your Bluette gave me the idea! Seems like its the same
world wide. Any suggestions! Anyone to give us some hope! What are
you all doing! I am all ears!.....Natascha
