I have been collecting, then selling dolls and other playthings since the early 1980's. I also dabble in other antiques. I was a doll collector as a child, then I "grew up"!. When my children were nearly grown, I realized that I could play with dolls again - then I met so many other wonderful people with the same love. My grand-daughter had collected some along with me and helped me at earlier shows. My favorites are antique bisque dolls, my special love are the small all bisque children. I have learned to really like and appreciate the beautiful chinas, parians and early papier mache dolls. Guess if I admit - I just love dolls!
Doll shows and antique shows in New England were my beginning in the doll sales field. Later, I moved to Pennsylvania, where I began working with the former Doll Express in Adamstown. Have been doing shows for many years now in PA, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, California, Texas and more.......even a lovely show in London! Have set up at the Gaithersburg doll show and National Doll Festival. I am a member of N.F.D.C. and the Red Rose Doll Club of Lancaster, PA, and Jenny Lind Doll Club of CT. i have now moved back to CT, continuing my life with dolls!
