Packing up - ready to go on Saturday night!
Shot of set up before the sale started.
I must admit we were concerned that the loss of MiniLand (Alex Zohar) would be a death knell for our Show and Sale. It was tough. We lost 36 linear feet of tables and lost a dealer that had an online presence. It was a great loss but we made it through.
We had eleven returning dealers (two after a short absence), eight new dealers, plus our usual MEE tables (Children's grab bags, MEE consignment tables, and MEE donation tables).
Among our new dealers were Kim Stewart and Janet Harvie (our workshop leaders from Ontario); Marlene Hall/Sylvia Reiber; Aleeta Kent; Erika Baker; Karen Mohr and Debbie Marshall.
Marlene Hall/Sylvia Reiber came from Regina with wonderful selections of dolls, ribbons and trims, and flowers.
Aleeta Kent taught two workshops to our club. We were lucky that we caught her before Camp Mini HaHa this year. Cats, dogs, chickens and other things. Her Mr. Grinch was wonderful!
Former MEE member, Debbie Marshall, and her partner, Sheila, had a table of vintage dollhouse furniture. There were some wonderful things! BUT of course many vintage things are 1:16 scale so I couldn't use them. But Debbie and I did discuss the Venus and Martin Dodge books which are in 1:16 scale.
Erika Baker (a MEE member) had some wonderful roomboxes on her table. She had a shop front, a roombox and an attic. Prices were reasonable and the pieces were well-done. You can contact me
if you want more information.
Karen Mohr had great things on her table. Lots of kits and furniture. She won't be back next year as she was clearing things out and at the end of the day, she donated everything that was left to our club. Thank you so much, Karen
The Doll Club of Edmonton had a table this year. (I actually bought a few things there.) It's always a problem with the the timing of their sale. But we do try to have our sales on different weekends. It worked this year. Their doll sale is on September 29, 2019. We will have a table there to advertise our club. As with the "Driving Miss Dolly" trip in June, we want to keep the associated clubs working together. https://www.facebook.com/events/2424845457589757/
