August 2019

The August meeting was such fun. Members were asked to bring their oldest doll for show and share.  We were also graced with a visiting member of the "Dollirious" doll club from Marysville, Washington.  Carole was visiting Victoria with her husband and joined us at the August meeting.  She brought some of her fab dolls to share with us:

This is Carole's doll made from an Arley Berryhill pattern "La Femme"

These two lovely ladies were made by Carole from a Jill Maas pattern.  They were hilarious

 Now for the oldest dolls from our members, some made, some made by loved ones and some collected from other dealmakers:

The last of Charlotte's oldest dolls.  The clown was made by her mom and the blue doll was Charlotte's try at making the pink doll that a neighbour gave her when she was fell and was hurt.  Charlotte was a very good keeper of childhood dolls!
