Doll & Teddy Bear Show/ San Diago

Last weekend I attended the Doll & Teddy Bear Show, in San Diego, Ca.  I have attended in the past, as I think it's important to attend and support the popularity of all kinds of dolls.

Along with finding some great ribbons, materials and wigs, this was the first time I actually saw a BJD vendor there as well!  Located on the second floor of the venue, right in front was a table of a variety of bjd's!  She was a private collector, selling her beautiful collection of dolls in beautiful outfits...they were really stunning.

I also met a vendor who was selling wigs, for the BJD style dolls.  She told me about the PNW BJD EXPO in Bremerton, Washington,  in May.  Everyone was very friendly, I met new friends, learned more about the world of dolls and will be reunited with a few of them for dinner at IDEX in April.  Yes....I will be there in April!....More to come on this topic next month.

If you love the color BLUE, check out my boards on pinterest, I have made the board covers dance across the pages in the color blue!   While your there, check out the board I call, "Oh!...You beautiful Doll!"  I show you some incredible dolls and you can add some to your own boards.

I am getting to release a very "PINK" surprise for you, just in time for Valentines Day....Keep watching, as it's "TO DIE FOR!!!"  

Til Soon...

BLUE...The Winter BJD Fashion Hat Collection

This Season I was inspired to create the following BJD hats, from some very beautiful straw.  It was the perfect color blue to give the hats a very ethereal, cool almost Zen like look.

This is one of my most popular collections and also one of the most fun to make.  Their architectural design is something I love to experiment with, and these larger BJD dolls are very well suited for them.  I will be listing them in my etsy store, at www.etsy.com/susanlake1 where you can re-visit them and I always enjoy hearing your comments...Happy New Year!
