Chat n Snap 2016 - part 2


The Scouting and Guiding Jamboree wasn't the only display of Sasha and Gregor dolls at the Chat 'n Snap.  Plenty of dolls had come along to enjoy the fun and were put on tables around the sides of the hall.  I went round a couple of times to take photos as the displays grew, they were fluid through the day as people showed off their dolls to their friends and rearranged them a bit in the process.
Two blond toddlers and red haired girls
A pretty little Iona Gotz toddler girl wearing a ra ra skirt outfit
Toddler twins - one pair of only two Trendon prototype toddlers
Red haired girls in hand made white dresses, and friends

Three of our babies Nina, Daisy and Amy babble to each other while Florence (wearing the lovely Emma Flood outfit I bought at the Sasha Celebration) dreams as she listens to the music from the Summer Festival.  Beside our babies is the soft bodied baby made by Janet for Tricia

The Trendon toddler twins were joined by the only other pair of Trendon toddlers, a baby and a puppy
This was the dolls for sale table where anyone could put their doll for sale if they made a small donation to the charity pot

When eating our lunch and during the afternoon we sat at a table near our dolls and chatted with various people.  I brought out my Heather Maciak dolls - Jenny and Lexie wearing their knitted sweaters and my new Heather Maciak UFDC 2016 Convention souvenir doll Emily and journal which I bought recently via ebay.  Heather had told me all about the making of this doll and her companion doll when we met last year in Vancouver.  Teddy and I had an animated discussion about our Jenny and Lexie dolls and Dee showed me the two she had very recently purchased, inspired partly by my blog posts on them.  My daughter and I also made friends with Joanne who was crocheting a dress for her Sasha baby.  My girl sat stitching her first Cross Stitch kit (and finished it during the afternoon) and I knitted a few rows of a sweater for Emily my newest doll so it became a bit of a working crafts table for the afternoon.  I later saw Diane D knitting at another table as well.

Great photos of all the attending dolls, there were a few doing a little craft work while it was quieter in the afternoon.
It was a nice calm day :)

I really enjoyed seeing all the visiting dolls. It's great to see the variety of the actual dolls and the way their owners enjoy dressing them.
Looks like everyone had a wonderful time chatting and buying.
Pleased to see that later on when things had settled and folks fed that there were no idle crafting hands!
