A Cozy Catch-Up with Rachel: Life, the Shop, and the First Trimester
Join Rachel for a heartfelt sit-down chat as she catches everyone up on life—both at home and at the doll shop! From behind-the-scenes updates at VDC to what the first trimester of pregnancy has really been like, Rachel shares it all with honesty, humor, and warmth.
It’s a personal, comforting video filled with stories, laughter, and a little glimpse into the beautiful (and sometimes chaotic!) balance of running a doll business while growing a family.
Perfect for anyone who loves connecting beyond the dolls and being part of the VDC journey.
VDC Schedule Update – November & December
VDC Schedule Update: November & December
The final months of the year are bringing a flurry of exciting activity to Virtual Doll Convention! From new doll arrivals to special releases and video premieres, there’s plenty to look forward to as we close out the year together.
New Arrivals at VDC Headquarters
We’ve received a new shipment of Anne and Grace dolls and are currently waiting for the factory boxes to arrive so we can assemble the upcoming VDC-exclusive doll gift sets. These special sets will be released once everything is ready—stay tuned for details!
Anne Fitzpatrick Subscription – Season Two
We’re preparing to launch Season Two of the Anne Fitzpatrick Child Doll Subscription in November or early December.

Behind the Scenes
There’s always something happening at VDC Headquarters!
In addition to all the exciting new releases, we’ve also begun restoring the façade of the doll shop. We first repainted the exterior in 2020, but after 40 years, the original wood trim has started to rot in several places. Beginning today, we’re replacing the damaged wood and trim for the first time in four decades. We can’t wait to see the shop looking and feeling refreshed on the outside—just as magical as what’s inside. Here are some “before” pictures. We started work on 10/28/2025!
We’ll continue to update this schedule as soon as new deliveries arrive and details are finalized.
Stay tuned—many wonderful surprises are just around the corner!
Vintage Vogue: Barbie’s Most Timeless Costumes with Christopher
Join Christopher Johnson for a delightful video presentation exploring some of his favorite Barbie costumes of all time! From vintage glamour to playful nostalgia, Christopher highlights Barbie’s most dazzling looks with his signature charm, knowledge, and humor.
Perfect for doll collectors of every kind, this special program is a wonderful watch for Halloween week—celebrating fashion, creativity, and the joy of collecting.
The Grand Unveiling: Ellowyne Wilde Season Three Subscription Box
Hosted by Sybil (The Cat of the House)
At last, the time has come! Join me—Sybil, Ellowyne’s superior and far more organized feline—on October 22nd at 10 AM MDT for the official unveiling of the Season Three Ellowyne Wilde Subscription Box, premiering on YouTube and social media.
In this most fashionable reveal, you’ll:
• Witness the first outfit of the new season (I’ve personally inspected the stitching).
• Meet Tamara Casey’s first of four exclusive sewing patterns for the series.
• Discover details pertaining to this season’s complete subscription lineup—fashion, intrigue, and perhaps a few hairs of mine sprinkled in for authenticity.
After the video premiere, you may finally purchase me—well, the resin version of me—in the Ellowyne Boutique, along with a coordinating add-on dress and two pairs of shoes to complete Ellowyne’s ensemble for the month.
Not registered yet? Honestly, what are you waiting for? Do it right now—before Ellowyne gets all the attention again.
With impeccable taste and just a touch of cattitude,
Sybil
Mistress of Mischief and Fashion Affairs

Step into history with the grand finale of Season Four of the Grace Historical Subscription starting at 10 AM MDT on YouTube and Facebook. Join Rachel, Christopher, and Tamara as they unveil Midnight Stripes—a breathtaking ensemble complete with a dramatic bustle, making it one of the most elaborate creations yet. In this special program, you’ll not only see the full outfit but also get a first look at new wigs, a versatile bonnet designed to pair with many of your Grace costumes, and Tamara’s Pattern of the Month. We’ll also share a few exciting hints about what’s ahead for Season Five and beyond into 2026. This release comes a little early so we can get it into your hands before Halloween. The possibilities are endless with this one!
