Convo Countdown

Thu, 08 Jul 2010 07:20:00 -0400

Hi everyone!

I'm writing this blog in the midst of getting together everything for the Convo which is now only 23 days away!

I am very excited about meeting everyone and looking forward to a lovely happy day!

There is still time to get tickets but I will be stopping the sale 7 days before so that I can plan for our lunch!

It's going to be brilliant to see everyone's collections or favourite Retro Doll and I hope that this event will go from strength to strength!

The day is all mapped out now with lots of time built in for chatting - which is what I'm very good at!!

I am going to the venue this weekend to map out the layout and then it's go go go!!

I do hope I get to meet some of our lovely customers either this year or next and I hope you all have a fabulous Summer!

With very Kindest Regards

Melx
