Well, folks, I’m in the building, paid the first month’s
rent, met the landlord, and arranged about half my cases. The doll museum is a
definite go!
It has been an odyssey, and like Ulysses, I’ve been on a
twenty year journey, actually more. A
year ago, we got the paperwork in place, and now things are happening. I have one doll book in production, another
proposal with an agent. I’m planning to
do appraisals in November, I may make it to open by Small Business Saturday. Documenting and photographing the dolls will

I can’t wait to start hanging doll related art one the wall,
and for the first time, but paper dolls will be organized! This is our maiden voyage together, and I
thank everyone who has read, followed, and commented on my blogs.
More photos to follow, and God Bless!!
