Would you like a chance to acquire a limited edition Goodreau doll wearing a OOAK Charie Wilson outfit?
We have one up on ebay right now! 
This is Elise, who was dressed as a "Hippy Chick" for the Modern Doll Convention (a few years ago) and while she no longer has her hippy outfit, she is sporting a cute red curly wig and a gorgeous hand-crafted Charie Wilson outfit!All profits from this auction go toward the 2013 St. Louis BJD Convention. We'll post when additional auctions go up!

As is traditional, here's the Bad News first: Paulette Goodreau has a family emergency and cannot attend our convention this year. Her mother is undergoing surgery and she needs to stay close. We have let her know that we understand, and have invited her to come next year instead. She has promised to do so.

Good News: Paulette feels terrible about backing out at the last minute, and by way of apology she is sending a doll for each convention member! I don't want to spoil the surprise, but I will say that it is a hard-to-find 5" critter! Connie Lowe is going to bring them along and has offered to take over some of Paulette's programming.

What does this mean to our convention? We may have some last-minute changes to our programming schedule, but we are still planning to have the Goodreau Family Reunion, so please be sure to bring any Goodreau dolls you might have as part of your Doll Family for the photo shoot. We will send our best pictures to Paulette to enjoy. We are also going to see if we can use the magic of technology to include Paulette at some point remotely. More on this as it develops.

The convention is only two months away! Be sure to get your registration in soon, before the price goes up, again. 
We are so looking forward to meeting our special Guests and also all of our members and their dolls! As a little bit of a preview, here's Tricia's newest doll, recently arrived from The Mushroom Peddler!
This is Crikey the Crocodile, in a pretty dress. She's sitting with two Goodreau girls: Stellaluna (A 5" Icky the Bat) and Chartreuse (an 8" Sid). Remember to bring your Goodreau and Mushroom Peddler dolls to our awesome convention! You could get them signed by our guests!

Our Guest of Honor is going to be...
Paulette Goodreau!

Creator of the Goodreau and Make it Mine Dolls, we're excited to welcome Paulette to St. Louis!
