Huntsville Museum of Art - Liz Kennedy Antique Dolls Presentation

I was happy to see several members of our doll club at the recent Huntsville Museum of Art presentation of Antique Dolls given by Liz Kennedy. Liz did a great job and brought in many of her dolls to put on display. She also gave a very informative talk on Nancy Ann Storybook Dolls. Which we are happy to say that Liz will be our guest speaker in February to give another talk on Nancy Ann dolls.

September Meeting.

Ann was thrilled to be back from her trip to Mexico. She was dressed in her clothes and brought items that she found on her trip. Very good job on the costumes everyone!

We also watched our DVD that we rented from UFDC. It was a full of very nice dolls showing you how to decorate with props.

Please send your condolences to Bonnie and Pamela who lost a Brother/Uncle. We are very sorry for your loss.

We were not able to have a business meeting and that will take place for October we need to discuss our budget for next year and make plans for any events that we want to either host or attend. I know some members dodge the business meeting but some things are necessary and I encourage all members to attend since we will also be having a fun October meeting.

October should be a fun meeting. We are having a Halloween party with a costume contest for Ann. I am working on a special prize to the winner!!

I will also be bringing in more horror/dark themed dolls for display. Members are encouraged to bring in any dark/Horror dolls they have also. Some of the dolls I am bringing are a little risque and are not suitable for young viewers so please no young guests.

Show & Tell

It looks like each member got something fun from the show. Thank you all for brining items in to share with the club.

August 2011 Meeting.

Thank you to all who made our doll show such a success. A extra big thank you to Vicki our show chair for all the work she has done. ( plus a lot of envious glares for winning Carla's doll!!) The decision to move to the Jaycees building proved to be a great choice. I heard nothing but good things and no complaints about the building. Our attendance was better than it has been for the past several years and we had a good selection from our dealers. All around a great show.

Congratulations also to Barbara G for winning Victoria and Betty for winning the monkeys.

Mellow Yellow Ann, great work everyone on the outfits. Each was very cute. A lot of new creative wigs for Ann, it really changes her looks!

We did have two guests join us for the August meeting. Hopefully we can continue on our quest to get new members.
