American Doll and Toy Museum

We will be adding photos, beginning with ancient dolls, as an annexe to the museum; visit us on Facebook, Dr. E's Doll Museum, and on Twitter @Dr. E's Doll Museum. We also have Facebook pages Doll Universe, Antique Doll, and Dr. R. We are on Flickr under Ellen Tsagaris, and ISSUU as Old Dolls. Our other Twitter account is Old Dolls. On Instagram, we are ellen_tsagaris. In keeping with our new non profit name, we've changed the name of this blog. All we need now is the building!!

Nous Sommes Charlie; We Salute the People of France and their Dolls

Since this a blog about doll history, we take this time to stand firm with the People of France, whose dolls are so wonderful to us. For me, any doll that is French; cloth, bisque, resin, celluloid, wax, papier mache, or composition, is special. I remember well the wonderful dolls lining the shelves of the gift shops at Orly Airport, and I treasure my own doll that came from there. Our Jumeau, Huret, Bru, Eden, SFBJ and other French inhabitants salute their French human counterparts, too, and our Santons de Provence and Creche figures will pray for all of us. May we finally have peace this year, in 2015.
