Verne the Traveling Blythe finally arrived last week! I had so much
going on that I didn't have the opportunity to post about it until now.
She is a custom designed by Kassandra's Box and her presentation is
absolutely amazing. Kassandra does everything from customizing the doll
to the box she's in to the tiniest details of her clothes, accessories
and plush toys. The details of her traveling box, her Teddy Bear Plushie
and her felted mushroom are just incredible. I've had the pleasure not
only of taking her around the city while she's been here but also the
honor of taking her along with me to stuff goodie bags at Erica's this
weekend! There were hundreds of bags and goodies everywhere and it was
great fun to help, even when we were overwhelmed. Erica has given so much
of herself to making sure the details of this event goes over smoothly. I
think we are all indebted to her for her tireless effort in spite of the
unfortunate but brief upset that occurred.
It looks like I may be be handing her to
Linda at BCON which is almost a week away. I'm so happy to be taking her
to my first BlytheCon ever. I have a list of Vendor tables I can't wait
to shop at and a meager but sensible budget to stick to. I'm so excited for this I've
actually taken the preceding Friday off and just made it a nice long
weekend. I can't say
enough about how much I admire the fortitude displayed by the amazing community of Blythe lovers who have managed to
keep this show going. I think it's
says a lot about the strength of community itself and the love of Blythe. The
unifying and positive energy behind this event is something I am very proud and honored to be
a part of.
