It was that time of year again for those of us who were not attending the Barbie Conention to attend our own, "mini-Convention" and have our own little get-together. This year's get together was not as well planned as last year's, but we still did table gifts for each other, and there was a centerpiece doll prize.
I usually make or create my table gifts , but this year I was on limited time and I had only barely two weeks notice. So I went shopping on Mercari and Poshmark, two of my most reliable phone apps that I also sell on. I collect vintage silk scarves, that I wear in my hair, around my neck, with my outfits, and also tie on my purses. They are versatile, and are the perfect accessory. Especially in pink. I found a lot on Mercari of Pink scarves in various sizes and colors in a lot of 15, and since I only needed 7, I was done. I had also purchased two other lots of 3 and 15 on Poshmark, so Christmas is done for two groups of people now! The ladies were excited with their table gifts and I managed to match up the different scarves with the suitable person and their hair color , etc.
We ate at Tarrant's West and this was a former restuarant that we all had our Christmas party about a year or two ago. I enjoyed it then and it was nice today.
I won the Centerpiece doll made by Allison, and her hair was fixed by Allison too. The chair, signage, table and dress on the mannequin were donated by Jodie. It really astonished me to win the centerpiece prize. One of these photos was taken by Janice Weaver, our Vice-President and I am giving her the credit here, it was done at the restuarant.
