What is more is that you will also find a range of photos from the BMDG Joint exhibition from the Stafford doll fair in September 2007 and also the Sutton Dollhouse Fair on the 9th of December!
On both days I am sure the fun, chatter and laughter could be heard from the main entrance!

Stafford Doll House Fair 9th September, 2007 Selling and Display Table

Here you find Tiggy of Mrs Tiggywinkle's Dolls and Jane of Thimblemins busy setting up the table. Four of us shared a selling space ( on the left) : Bellabelle, Nicky CC, Thimblemins and Mrs Tiggywinkle's Dolls. Our display table was to the right of the picture! Dolls from the July Bathing Beauty challenge was displayed on the tiered table and then all the members were represented by dolls or Photo display cards so that browsers were able to see examples of their work!

Close up of the display table :) Little contact cards were placed on the tables too, so that if anyone wanted to get in touch with a particular member, then they could take the cards and contact them!

The helpers on the day from left to right are: Nicky of Nicky CC Jane of Thimblemins Julie of Bellabelle Jain of Giddy Kipper and Tiggy of Mrs Tiggywinkle's Dolls.
