Dolls

It might sound a little scarry, but I do collect dolls.  As many collections go, sometimes they get out of control.  I didn't put any boundaries on the dolls so I have all types and sizes.  When I was growing up, I didn't have a lot of dolls.  So, at some point I decided I wanted some dolls.

With collectible dolls, they often have a number on the side of the doll's neck or on the torso of the doll.  A number like 101 of 350 means that the doll is the 101st doll produced in an edition.  Now, they might not actually make as many as 350, but they won't make more.  Usually, the smaller the number the better. Also, a smaller edition is better.  So, doll 1300 of 3500 wouldn't be as interesting to a collector as a doll with a smaller number.

I pick dolls that I like the look of--maybe they remind me of a family member or friend.  That is why I have a red headed toddler doll who reminds me of my nephew.  Space can get to be an issue for dolls.  That is why my latest dolls have been 8" vinyl Alexander dolls that I can get at a convenient price at Tuesday Morning.

I like writing about my dolls--now I have to go commune with them!!
