2008 Barbie Convention OOAK Live Auction Doll

With only a couple of weeks to go I thought I should give a little update for our part in this year's convention. Before the salesroom on Thursday I'll be doing room sales (please watch for signs) starting on Tuesday. Lots of bits and pieces, great table gifts, some odd boxed fashions I found while cleaning LOL and some current ones too, please drop by and say hi. When I move what's left to the salesroom on Thursday we will have the first exclusive available in the afternoon after the Mattel luncheon (that's all i can say on the matter, sorry). The second convention exclusive will be available in the salesroom on Saturday morning, so I hope everyone has a chance to drop by the salesroom a few times.

For the Live Auction Friday night I've repainted an "Interviewer" silkstone (I wasn't going to attempt the hair LOL) she is called "Katrine" (after my daughter Kathryn) and wears a one off colour variation of the upcoming "benefit Ball " fashion. This version is in red satin and features 'diamond' jewels including pretty hair pins. I really like her; I know my daughter is sad to see her go (she'll make due with the blue version when it comes out :))

In addition to the Live auction doll I've done, I have also sent along a pre-production counter sample of "Pretty as a Pearl" for the silent auction and a fun dressed silkstone gift box set for the raffle room, so don't forget your raffle tickets :)

Here's to safe travels to all and I hope to see everyone in Kansas City!
