Today was the annual Maple Leaf Doll Show in Cambridge, which I've been looking forward to for weeks. There are so few doll shows anymore - just two within decent driving distance - so the hour drive to Cambridge is well worth it. I go mainly to look for interesting, inexpensive, doll props, and like every other year, I wasn't disappointed. I found a wonderful wooden love-seat, a slider horse, another tea set, lots of tiny stuffed animals, a few dolls, and a tiny vintage camera from an antique dealer. My kids were thrilled with all the new things - well, most of them were......
Efreet loved all the little stuffed animals. They were from a Noah's Ark set. He also loves his new sweater I knit for him, and won't take it off. The new Johnny wigs arrived this week, so Efreet also has a new dark brown wig. I find it makes him look like a little boy from the Middle East, or India....and his black eyebrows actually work now....
Bonnie liked the two new dolls. She'll have to share them with the other girls, but that's okay.....
Ringo went straight for the new camera, but then excitement turned to disappointment,
as he discovered there was no film inside. How could I buy a camera with no film?

The camera is a real, working camera - a Colly Spy Camera. I'm not sure if it was a bona fide spy camera, or a toy. Forgot to ask. I tried googling it, but none of the posts confirm either way. We'll just have to pretend it has film, and I'll take the photos alongside Ringo so he still gets his pictures.
