Last night was a farewell dinner with Mary before she returns to Portugal. I’m so glad we got to meet and become friends while she was here. Someday I will get to Portugal and sit around in her house and talk dolls again.

Today, a friend from my doll club spent the day with me and we worked on robot dolls together. She wants me to make a pattern, but since that is unlikely to happen in the near future, I figured I’d just show her what I do. It was a great day.

And look at the great stuff she brought me- buttons

and beautiful vintage ribbons-

Some other fun stuff too, but not so pretty for photos!
