About our program:  
Kenner debuted its Blythe line in the early 1970s. It was a market flop and discontinued within a year. Decades later, these iconic dolls have been embraced by a new audience of enthusiasts and have found unexpected success. This program will focus on original Blythe dolls leading up to the unveiling of the 2025 President's doll at the UFDC national convention, which will then be added to the UFDC museum's permanent collection.

 

We can't wait to SEE you in May! <3

Going Home!

 

There's no place like home, and for doll collectors with ties to UFDC, that place is Kansas City! Many members of DSCB are heading to off to our organization's highly anticipated 2024 annual event to proudly represent doll enthusiasts from the New England area. Per tradition, DSCB will be sponsoring the Maggie Iacono meal event, including preparing and providing the meal's welcome, program, decorations, and party favors, as well as managing the operations start to finish. This special dinner is the highlight of this international gathering for many attendees, and for good reason! <3
