October 2022 Newsletter
I would like to extent all thoughts and prayers to those affected by Hurricane Ian. Although I have never been to Florida, I still remember the terror of tornados when I was a child living in Cleveland OH, one of which hit on the 4th of July causing all kinds of mayhem. We moved to Tucson, AZ only 7 short days later and never looked back. Mother Nature can be devastating at times but no matter what she throws at us, we human beings are strong and will come through it.

News and updates
Announcement ~ At this time and due to circumstances beyond anybody's control,  the Madison Heights MI Doll Show (Doll Show Productions) will no longer be held. As many of you know, Jan and Michael lost their venue and have been unable to find another at the size and/or cost that is needed. This means that the Toledo and Lansing Doll Shows will be the last of the year in that area so make your plans to sell at/attend those shows.

Been talking about this for a while. Facebook is switching all pages over to a new format. The new format really sucks and takes about 5 times longer to do even the simplest things like sharing a post to the page. In the past, I have posted the newsletters to every page and shared some photos and other posts to generate interest as well as promote upcoming events. I know it is a very good marketing tool but unfortunately, I will not be able to do much of anything to help others. If you have a page on Facebook, I would suggest that you take some time to learn how it works. When it switches to the new format (aka the dark side), a message sometimes pop up to let you know and gives a option to check it out. If you need some assistance, I'm happy to help with the transition but my ongoing assistance will stop on October 31st, 2022.

Again, word of mouth really remains the BEST form of advertising. Let your doll clubs and friends know about local doll events, print and pass out flyers in your area or send out a few post cards to your friends. Together we will Thrive.

FOR THE LOVE OF PULLIPS: THE PEOPLE OF PUDDLE

“The goal of PUDDLE is to share our love of Pullip and to have fun.”
— Jane Easterly

Jane Easterly is a doll collector. Collecting Barbie and friends from an early age, she never lost her appreciation for dolls. It wasn’t until years later, however, that she would leave her mark in a small but impactful way on the hobby. What led her to that? The precocious pouty-faced Hina Ichigo Dal doll from Jun Planning (now Groove).
