I recently just joined the Dorothy Coleman Doll Club at the encouragement of one of my doll club friends, Allison. This doll club is a UFDC doll club so when you join, you attend at least two meetings to see if it is a good fit for what you collect , and usually you have to become a member of the United Federation of Doll Clubs The UFDC, as it is referred to, has a doll convention, with workshops, a doll sponsored by the convention, vendors, and more each year as well as a magazine that comes out four times a year for your membership dues. On my third meeting here in January, I was voted into the club along with another member.
At this meeting there was no program, just a type of doll sale and business for the upcoming convention. The club president was having a sale / estate sale of her mother's dolls and clearing out alot of doll magazines, fabric, and books.
I found the Franklin Mint Princess Diana in the 'Elvis' dress - a doll I have been looking for - for $35 ! She even had her stand and her crown box and purse. I was also able to pick up the 2 Doll News magazines for free, - as well as some of the Barbie items for Free too- I was really thrilled to get these. My friend Allison found some great Barbie items and sewing items too.
I got the vintage 1993 Barbie High Stepper Battery operated Palomino walking horse- I havent purchased any batteries to see if he walks yet. Also, the little vintage plush Honey with the pink bow in its fur. And lastly- a vintage 1993 Bedtime Barbie soft body Slumber Party Barbie! She has her nightgown and slippers intact. Her hair is intact too!
We had our Va. Fashion Doll Club meeting on Sunday -- the next day! So it was 2 doll club weekend! I will be posting about that tomorrow! So I am now a member of 2 Doll Clubs! Enjoy!
