Holiday Meets

The great thing about having local doll friends is being able to see them! The added bonus is getting together during the holidays and just spending time together, which I really enjoy. While my friends outside of the doll hobby seem to regard it as something that’s interesting, they don’t really “get” Blythe. One of my non-dolly friends thought that my blonde Kenner and my Cappuccino Chat were pretty much the same and even identical. Yeah, I don’t know how to explain that one… But it is nice to have local friends (and online friends!) who understand and appreciate Blythe as much as I do (or even more than I do!).
A small local mini-meet for the holidays was also my first opportunity to bring Lark to a meet. Lark is an I.G. Sirenita custom Petite Blythe that was a donation for BlytheCon Vancouver. My sisters were unable to attend BlytheCon, so they donated money towards the raffle (since it was going for such a great cause – O.W.L.), and one of my sisters won the doll! Luckily for me she’s not interested in starting to collect dolls, so I wound up with little Lark as my birthday present in November.
Do you have Blythe enthusiasts local to you? Do you get together for meets – big or small?
There are not too many Blythe enthusiasts in my area! There are some in my state, and I’ve been to a couple of meets over the years, but it usually involves quite a bit of driving so it doesn’t happen too often. I feel like you’re so lucky to have folks nearby!
Ahhhh, I love this post. My little yarnhead and your IG Sireneta girls made fast friends, didn’t they 🙂
