Onto the biggest event of the weekend: Saturday’s Dinner Event, Flights of Fancy! Everyone donned their finest feathers and prettiest plumes, and took flight down to the banquet room for a bit of dining and dancing! The Tonner Staff cleans up pretty well, if I do say so myself, and also had these gorgeous feather masks to wear too!

Now, onto the important stuff: The dolls! The souvenir was a perfectly pink Flamingo, which garnered ooohs and aaaahs all over the place! She’s a breathtaking Cami head sculpt on an Antoinette body with blonde saran hair neatly pulled back into a pretty bun, with painted blue eyes. Her flamingo outfit is inspired by our bird friend with a shimmering, shirred pink bodice and full skirt with layers of glistening taffeta and faux pink feathers. In her hair is a soft feather wrapped delicately around her bun. She wears gold strappy shoes, and is an edition size of 300 pieces.

There were 5 (yep, count ‘em: 5!!) centerpiece dolls this year, randomly assorted with one on each table. They’re all birds of a feather: Toucan, Raven, Peacock, Cardinal, and The Parrot. Each one gorgeous works of art, Robert and Joe have truly amazed and delighted collectors tonight! Each of the 5 dolls is a LE of 100 pieces.
Here are the details of each bird:
Toucan – Daphne head sculpt, Antoinette body, black saran removable wig with cropped locks, blue painted eyes, and Tyler skin tone. She comes wearing an outrageous black dress with bodice ruffles and ruffles at the bottom, and bolero ruffles that mimic the beak of the Toucan. Her look is complete with sassy black pumps.

Raven – Precarious head sculpt on an Antoinette body with back rooted saran hair with painted brown eyes and Tyler skin tone. She wears a darkly delicious black belted cocktail dress with full sleeves trimmed with feathers over shiny black leggings. Even her shoes have feathers on the back! …and her hair is AWESOME by the way. It’s all knotted up on the top, and sticks out in a very feather-like manner, and it’s oh so edgy. Love it!
