Happily Ever After in Philadelphia

This is the FABULOUS shop Happily Ever After and is owned by Ed and Glenn. If you haven't been yet, you have got to go! ...and if you can't go visit them on line!! http://www.happily.com/
This is the ultimate toy shop for me, LOADS of dolls! Also most of them I have never seen in the flesh - not having access to shops like this in the UK!

We visited Philly on a beautiful sunny day. Ed treated Ted and I to lunch in a lovely little restaurant - as usual the menu had to be translated, the food is similar to the English fare but so very different, as anyone who has visited form the UK will know!

Ed and Glenn had arranged for us to do a Project Dollway presentation for the Philadelphia Centre City Doll Club.

From the left we have Micheal, Ted, Me and Bryan. Micheal and Bryan are from Metro Dolls.

And here we are again with Centre City Doll Club President Robbin Atwell.

Our dolls on display...

We had a really great evening, it was really nice to meet everyone and share our experiences on Dollway. The Centre City Doll Club is a really nice crowd and when I sell up and move to Philadelphia my membership will be in the post to them.

Philadelphia is beautiful, I am so impressed - I NEED to buy one of these houses and live here!

The Railway station is awesome! It is huge, vast and beautiful!

The station houses the Pennsylvania Railroad War Memorial which is a statue of the archangel Michael lifting the body of a dead soldier out of the flames of war, and was sculpted by Walker Hancock in 1950.

You may recognise it as it has been featured in many films including Blow Out, Trading Places, Witness and Unbreakable.
