Another awesomely wild season of Virtual Doll Convention,
Auctions, National Doll Festival and UFDC are coming to a rapid close, but with
more to come in future months. Locally,
doll shows and estate sales are in full swing.
My article in Bru will soon be out in Antique Trader, which is rising
like the Phoenix
I’d like to share a story with you from last week. I went to a couple estate sales, a big
venture for me since I’ve been fighting asthma related respiratory and other
infections. No energy, but my friend who
does sales and dolls got me out. I had my arms full of nice artist dolls, yes,
at bargain prices, and a couple of antiques.
A gentleman who turned out to be a sale helper said to me,” Do you have
a lot of little girls, or is that all for you?”
Something like that. His tone was
less than admiring, more than a bit snotty.
“They’re all for me,” I said.
“Would you like to come over later and play?” That did it; he helped me out with the dolls and
a huge cache of their boxes. Hmph!!
So, collect proudly.
Bespeak it to the world, have fun, don’t blow your budget, or blow it if
you can, don’t be a doll diva, and enjoy the friends, fun, and hobby that is
dolls.
