Open Days at Simply Reborn Ltd's Warehouse

Over the weekend of 21st and 22nd of April, the ladies at Simply Reborn opened up the warehouse for a two day visitor experience. 


During both days visitors were able to buy all the kits and supplies that they wanted with a lovely bonus discount specially for visitors. 

Ruth, Lisa and Karen were very welcoming and happy to answer any questions visitors had. 


I visited on the Sunday and was pleased to see how busy the warehouse was, lots of ladies wandering around finding little treats as well as necessary supplies and the atmosphere was very jovial with lots of tips and tricks being shared.

During the Day, Ruth demonstrated painting techniques using Genesis Heatset Paints and Karen demonstrated rooting and was showing how to hold and use a needle correctly to prevent snapping and bending of needles.

We took several video's of the painting demonstrations which will be uploaded shortly, so make sure you pop back and check those out.

And to kick off the Video's here is Part 1. 

Brighton Doll Festival

Brighton Doll Festival remains one of our favourites of the year, the combination of excellent organisation of the event, the lively atmosphere always make this show a yearly treat. 

This year was held at a new venue, moving away from the Brighton racecourse. The new venue was a large airy sports hall. which meant there was lots of space for showing dolls and other dolly related goodies. 

Below is a slideshow of the photographs taken on the day.  The date for next years show hasn't been announced yet.
 

Pudsey Doll and Teddy Fair April 2012

The Pudsey Doll and Teddy Fair received a whole new lease of life now that Debbie Woodhouse has taken over the management and running of the event.

The hall was entirely packed on the day, not a single space was left available as every table was taken.  The atmosphere was buzzing!

This is a slideshow of photos taken on the day.  We hope you enjoy it.
