About Me

Desperately Seeking Dolls: I've been collecting dolls my entire adult life. Since I first started this blog, I have refined my collection quite a bit. I have sold my antique bisque dolls from the 1800's, Vogue Ginny Dolls from the early 1960's, Gene Dolls, Tonner Sydney and Tyler Dolls, Momoko, and Silkstone Barbies. I have tried to focus my collection on Vintage Barbie, Ellowyne Wilde, and Integrity Toys products: Fashion Royalty, NuFace, Victoire/East 59th Street, Poppy Parker, and Misaki. I recently added The Industry line to my collection..I guess my favorite bumper sticker sums up my life. "I set off to conquer the world but got distracted by something sparkly."
