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!!

November 9th Doll Newsletter

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.

There is nothing Spooky about this Great Site about dolls 1980-2000.

Ghost of the Doll is fun and easy to navigate, and is a veritable web museum of the toys from this era.

Unusual Chinese Opera Dolls are just the tip of the iceberg when collecting dolls from China.
