Paris Show-- Crowds of BJD Fans and Friends!

After getting into our hotel room at 12:30 am from the Saturday night dinner, we collapsed and set our alarms early.. set up for the Expo's vendor displays began at 8 am sharp, and they had sold "early bird" tickets for buyers, meaning that any vendor with unusual items would not have much chance to set up without lots of company! For several hours, we weren't really able to properly set up.. just digging out dolls as fast as we could out of bubble wrap and chatting with lots of friends from Materiel Celeste. There were collectors there from all over Europe, especially Germany, Italy, England and Netherlands.

The Narin Dolls were popular... they were all gone in a matter of an hour or so.
Here is a small selection of what we brought. wish it hadn't been so dark in the show area.






This is Coquette Narae, made as a special edition by Paul Pham of Dollcis for the event. She had her photo taken so often, and was very loved.

Limhwa display.. The Limhwa 57 Half Elf, customized and dressed by Limhwa



The Limhwa Half Elf was a popular sight. She had her picture taken constantly all day long.



Supia sent three special customized dolls.. The Roda, Dreaming Roda, and a customized MiniSupia Yisol.
They were so popular and everone wanted more information about Supia.


Off to the BJD.. which was held in the middle of the sales day





Here is a great spot to see lovely photos of the whole event from French collectors
