Hi, Pat, Kathy & all... Has been quiet lately & it is neat that our 2 young men have made such successes in their young lives. Hope everyone is well & enjoying the summer & any new dolls... Melissa
I check in too, but the List is quiet. Congrats on the new property. Sometimes I wish I could start over with a new house with all blank space. But I'm very fond of the decorating I've finally achieved. It's getting
rid
of the old to make space for what I like now that's the issue.
Visited Montclair, NJ a couple of weeks ago and stopped in at the local
doll
shop. All baby dolls and such, but a doll shop, nonetheless. In a
magazine
rack behind the counter I saw "Haute Doll" fashion doll magazine. I'm so out of the doll collecting loop that I did not know about this magazine.
I
knew of "Fashion Doll Quarterly." Anyway, I saw our own Randall Craig is
a
contributing editor. Saw a big spread about Jason Wu and all the upscale fashion dolls he's designing for Integrity. I got all excited thinking about when we knew these folks as just little ole CandiChatters and how
far
they've come! And looking through the magazine was a sore temptation to want to start collecting these exquisite fashion dolls. Nope, I have no will power so I mustn't take any doll subscriptions.
I also see that it's Muriel Caviale from the old "Barbie Bazaar" days
whose
the publisher of "Haute Doll." But I guess you all already knew this.
Take
care, all. Pat Brown
