Some Photos and a Doll Tree

Seasons greetings, from someone who will not be celebrating Christmas this year, at least the not traditional ways.  Certainly, there won't be presents.  But, luck finds us somehow, and I won this tree at a festival of trees;I went after I vowed not to go.  I enjoy it very much, and wish peace to you all, my readers whom I love and adore, in 2016 and always!

A Legendary Toy Store Lives Here and There Welcome to another newsletter, 21 days or so before Christmas 2015!  In somehow seemed appropriate during the holidays to write about FAO Schwarz, so  I  did!  Also, a post on a liquidation sale in a real "gingerbread" castle seemed interesting.  Also, more information for modern porcelains; these dolls seem to be gaining in popularity, and an update on Monster High dolls, which again dominate the holiday season.  Happy collecting!
