AUSTIN DOLL COLLECTORS SOCIETY

The Austin Doll Collectors Society is an organization of antique, vintage, and modern doll collectors, dealers, and artisans. We meet on the second Sunday of each month and our meetings are fun and educational. We begin with refreshments and socializing, and, following our brief business meeting, there is a special doll-related program and "show and tell." The Austin Doll Collectors Society is a nonprofit organization and is a member of the United Federation of Doll Clubs.

October 6, 2014, Meeting

The theme for the October meeting was Halloween (of course!).



Member Jes Hawkins, who gave this month's program, donned appropriate attire for her talk.


 Her program was a wide-ranging talk on Halloween customs, intertwined with her own childhood memories, and she brought a variety of Halloween related toys and decorations.









This gorgeous gourd gal was a door prize generously offered by Jes.


The lucky winner admires her pulchritudinous pumpkin!


Other members brought Halloween related dolls and decorations to share.















Member and master doll artist Mary McKenzie shares her latest prize-winning creations.


Mary's extraordinary interpretation of Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan from the American classic novel, "The Great Gatsby."
