| Collecting Since: | 2005 |
| How I Started Collecting: | I admired the Ball Jointed Dolls that I saw in a BJD workshop at an Anime Convention, and took pictures of them. I then brought my 18” 1960's doll out of the closet, and re-wigged and re-dressed her. I started to enjoy dressing and styling her, but wanted a more poseable doll, so I got on the internet and ordered an Alex 16” articulated doll, and some clothes. Soon I wanted dolls with different hair colors, sizes, types and so on, I became a collector! |
| My Collection: | Barbie Dolls, Alex 16” fashion dolls, Dynamite Girls, Madame Alexander 8” dolls and 18” playdolls, Goodreau BJD, 21-27cm Obitsu & Volks dollfies, Efanbee, Horsman, Middleton babies, Shirley Temple, Precious Moments, Marie Osmond dolls, and Takara Jenny |
| Favorite Dolls: | Lee Middleton “Snowflake Time” doll, Barbie “Alice in Wonderland” & “Pretty in Pleats” Dynamite Girls dolls, Goodreau Innuendo, Marie Osmond “Daisy”, 50th Anniversary Horsman “Cindy” |
| Suggestion to New Collectors: | Shop around for best prices on dolls and outfits that you truly want. Be aware of clothing sizes that will fit various dolls. I found great bargains and fabulous clothes by buying Mini Mood clearance outfits that fit 21-22 cm Obitsu & Volks dolls. Pollyanna outfits fit 14” Betsy McCall as well as MSD dolls. Only Hearts Club outfits fit Stacey. |
