Every year during Barbie Convention- which just ended this weekend in July, our Va. Fashion Doll Club began to have its own, 'Mini-Convention' for those members who could not attend the Barbie Convention. We usually make reservations at a restuarant, and it is on the weekend of Barbie Convention. All attendees who attend bring a tote bag favor for each attendee and the committee who plans the lunch also creates the 'centerpiece doll' which a lucky attendee wins. This year's theme was Travelin' with Barbie. Below are photos of the doll with luggage that was worked on by Janice, Jodie and Allison.
Nita was the lucky winner of the centerpiece doll. She was so cute!
After lunch we all had dessert and the desserts at the Henry Clay Inn are amazing- all of the foods are gourmet and handmade. I had the cheesecake, there was key lime pie, Coconut cream cake, raspberry sorbet, a huge cookie, chocolate lava cake.
Besides bringing tote bag favors, we were instructed to bring a doll dressed for travel, and a nude doll to dress. Here are some of the dolls dressed to travel.
Our group photos above-
Jodie's doll. Jodie gave each of us the bow place holder and let us each choose a placecard that we would like to go. Jodie chose London.
Linda's doll, this is a Catwoman doll restyled. I forgot to get her placecard.
This was my doll- Poppy Parker Suited to Travel. I had chosen Bavaria, because I have never been and because there is a restuarant here in Madison, VA called The Bavarian that has authentic Bavarian German cuisine that my husband Chris has taken me too.
Scarlett's doll- I believe her card says New Zealand
Nita's doll- her card says Kyoto
Allison's doll- her card says the Netherlands
Now onto our outfits for the nude dolls-
We received a pair of black pants from Allison, a crocheted tank top, belt and shoes from Jodie. These were lovely and so we dressed our dolls we brought and had a photo session with them together.
