Enter a room of dolls. Some jump right out at you. Stunning show-stoppers in any collector's wish book. They are the elegant, the refined, the glorious. But then there are the others.
Less showy, quiet and demure, well, the ones you might walk right by if you're not attentive. Here are some of our favorite demure dolls from Theriault's upcoming Marquis auction "The Memory of All That" this coming Saturday, November 21 at the Waldorf Astoria in New York.

With more than 300 wonderful dolls and automata in the auction, you're certain to find the one for you. To view all of the lots in the auction "The Memory of All That" click here.

To the City of Lights, and the Home of Jumeau, Bru, and so many Others, We Love you!

We dedicate this post to our friend Samy Odin of the Musee de la Poupee, and to my colleague PE who lives in Paris.  Also, to Odile Roi, who was with us visiting when I was only 5.  God Bless you and be Safe.  My whole family has been to Paris, and my grandparents were married there.  My beloved Mona Lisa is there, and so much that I love, that has helped shape me through out my life.  My grandfather was on his way back during WWI; the war ended when he was on the ship, and he arrived to do recognizance.  I bought my first real French doll, a little blue CanCan girl, at Orly Airport. Also, a lot of my family still lives in Europe, and I was born there.

We condemn this act of war, and we will pray for you in beautiful Paris and lovely France, who have given so much to those of us who love dolls and history.

Free Newsletter November 9th; visit me on Collectdolls.about.com

Newsletter for Week of November 9th Halloween flew away on a kitchen witch's broom, and Thanksgiving with pilgrim and turkey dolls awaits.  Christmas is just around the corner.  I saw doll "sightings" on "Laverne and Shirley" which featured Madame Alexanders and on "Bonanza" where Raggedy Ann and a porcelain doll starred. This week, an update on a favorite website, Ghost of the Doll which has information on dolls and toys from the 70s to 90s, and a history of Chinese Opera dolls.  Also read about how to use dolls to teach.
