World Doll Day!

Once again we celebrate this notable day in doll collecting.  How did you spend your day?  I checked on American Doll & Toy Museum; we are nearly ready to move into our new facility, much larger with more room for our displays and gift shop.

I attended to great estate sales with more finds for the collection.  I have been rearranging dolls, washing clothes, and repairing those that need help.

We've had a rough year as a nonprofit; we opened on Small Business Saturday, and had to close almost three months later, right after our building was blessed.

I opened an Etsy store, Dr. E's Toy Museum, to help with rent and costs.  I am still blogging and writing, and reviewed the first set of proofs for my next book being published, Thinking outside the Doll House; A  Memoir.

We weathered some violent protests, COVID 19, and a serious family medical crisis, but it's all behind us now.  I'm exhausted, and bloodied but unbowed.  We will open ; we will survive!

Check us out on our other blogs, some in Japanese, Greek, German, and the International Doll Museum Blog, published in different languages.

I'd love to  hear your stories of doll collecting, and would love to post you pictures.

Happy Collecting!
