the marriott wardman park, washington d.c. was the site for the 2009 national barbie convention celebrating barbie's 50th anniversary. thank you to nancy parsons and the members of the western pennsylvania doll club for putting together a terrific convention.

it was the most successul convention yet for ninimomo as we sold 56 delegate dolls!

thank you to all our customers for supporting us and giving us the inspiration, motivation and creativity to continue doing what we love most.

we've met so many wonderful new friends and caught up with so many old friends through this convention and look forward to developing and cultivating further friendships in the future.

and for bobbi, there is no one we know as generous as you - you are a wonderfully special instigator!
