More New Dolls, and Collecting Dolls with Teeth; Our Newlsetter

Miniature Doll Worlds Encased in Glass, Readers Ideas, and Finding Dolls As March is just around the corner, we have some eclectic ideas to share with doll lovers.  Dolls and miniatures under domes are featured in a review of an amazing book, while the question of where to find dolls by thinking outside the doll box is reviewed.  More on Barbie, the Toy Fair revisited, and a focus on several types of collectible dolls.  Thanks to all who have written to me; look for upcoming posts on Strawberry Shortcake,thanks to another doll fan.  Many of us have been dealing with family medical crises for some time, now, and having something you love to fall back on, as I do on my readers/friends, my writing, and my dolls, is a blessing.  May spring come soon to all of us, and with it, bring hope and renewal.  Please write to me at etsag1998@aol.com, and Happy Collecting!
