I hope everyone is
enjoying Spring! It's been a great April....
I'm very pleased
to announce that Sandra Stillwell Presents 2013 convention, "Every
Day's A Holiday" is almost sold out!!! Only a few spots remain!
I really
can't give thanks enough for all the enthusiastic inquiries I've
received about convention -- it's very gratifying to hear how much my
"Sandra Stillwell Presents" events mean to so many!
Registrations are coming
in at a record pace, so if you've not yet registered and plan to join
us in Kansas City, please RSVP and send your registration as
soon as possible! Spaces are limited, and I'd hate for anyone to be
disappointed by missing out on the holiday event of the year!
If you've already RSVP's
but have not officially "registered", don't worry -- your
space will be held as long as we have availability. I'll send a group
email before releasing any spots, but to be guaranteed, please don't delay!
If you're interested in
an absentee registration, please contact me to be placed on the wait list --
the higher you are on the list, the greater your chance!
The best
holiday plans are filled with anticipation...so stay tuned in the
upcoming weeks for more information about "Every Day's A Holiday" and
the related tours. I'm very excited about all the fun we have planned in Kansas
City and, like a kid at Christmas, can hardly wait to share it all with you!
In addition to special holiday celebrations to look forward to, I'm super excited by the gorgeous samples arriving from the factories! You and your dollies will be VERY pleased with the delightful holiday surprises!
Speaking of fun, anticipation
and pleasant surprises...
It seems no sooner did I share the exciting "Sandra Stillwell Presents" announcement of our "Every Day's A Holiday" convention before was I was packing my cheery Chevy to head off to sunny Florida for IDEX --which is a doll lover's delight!
There was simply too
much delicious eye candy to mention each vendor individually, but
personal highlights were the Horsman, Tonner and Angelic Dreamz
booths, as well as the many treasures at Facets and exquisite dolls of
Crawford Manor! One of my favorite doll shops -- Lulu's Doll World and
Surroundings -- was a first time vendor whose booth was filled
with fabulous OOAK artist dolls and
extremely limited BJD treasures.
The Horsman
Ltd booth looked especially grand -- a fitting showcase for their top
gal, Vita, and her beautiful new fashions and accessories! I love the Horsman
team's enthusiasm -- which is but one of the reasons I'm thrilled
they've accepted my invitation to join us for the holidays in KC!
I always enjoy the
opportunity to chat with manufacturers and see new doll and Teddy bear
debuts -- not to mention "playing" with dolly friends I may not get
to see elsewhere -- but this IDEX was surrounded by exceptional
anticipation and the promise of a bright new "star"....Angelic
Dreamz' JamieShow Gene!
The many collectors
and fans who attended IDEX especially to greet Miss Marshall at
her "coming out of retirement" party were not disappointed
-- Gene was as lovely as ever!
I had the pleasure of
spending an evening with fab photographer, Terri Gold, "playing"
with JamieShow's Phoenix Gene, who modeled fashions
from the Sandra Stillwell Presents "Radio Day's collection! Our
"studio" was an ironing board, hotel lamp and a mirror, but
Gene's radiance still shown through!
I'm proud to share the
results of our impromptu IDEX photo shoot with you all below! I
was absolutely blown away by how beautifully Phoenix Gene wore Sandra
Stillwell Presents...and I believe you will be, too.
I invite you to visit my
blog sales page to see earlier photos of the collection, if interested.
The "Radio
Day's" fashions received an outstanding reception at IDEX, so
availability is extremely limited -- in several cases only one of a
design. Please contact me as soon as possible if anything catches
your fancy...
Hope to see you all in
Kansas City!
Happy Holidays!
Sandra
