Columbus Doll & Bear Show and Spoilin's

Today was the Columbus Doll & Bear show up in Columbus, Ohio and I finally got to go after 2 years of wanting to!  Every time it's come around something has come up and I wasn't able to make it, but today, despite cloudy and then rainy weather, I made the 2 hour drive up there and was able to enjoy it.  There were hundreds if not thousands of dolls and their accessories of all sorts for sale.  There was also a group of BJD collectors from all over Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky there as well and we took over a corner of the sales room. 

 
 
 
 
There were so many dolls on the table in our corner by the time we arrived that there wasn't room for ours, so we made a little display on the floor.

 
 
I also got to do some shopping and Kess & Nell got spoiled!
 
 
 
Kess got a new tea set and dresser and Nell got a pair of shoes and a teddy bear.
 
All in all, it was a fun day spent with good doll friends enjoying the things we like :0)

Day 2 of 31 Day Tiny BJD Photo Challenge...

Okay, so my original plan was to just post a collage of 5 photos per week for this challenge here, but I had so much fun with today's theme I can't help but post a couple of the photos I took.  Here's Day2:  With an Animal.

31 Day Tiny BJD Photo Challenge.

So, I've been wanting to do one of those photo challenge things on Flickr lately just to get into the habit of getting my camera out for more than listing photos and to be more creative with my photo taking.  I was invited to join a Flickr group called 31 Day Tiny BJD Photo Challenge and thought this was exactly what I've been waiting for! 

Basically, we're given a list of 'themes' for each of the 31 days that we're a part of this challenge.  Most folks seem to be choosing a particular doll to feature in these photos so I've decided that Neely could use some extra camera time.  A tiny BJD is a BJD that is 26cm or 10.2 inches and under.  Neely is 15.5cm or 6.1 inches tall.

 So without any further delay, here's Day 1/31: In Her Bed
