Sold Another Doll Today


I sold Barbie/Fern from Charlottes Web today. It's from the "When I Read I Dream" series. She came with Wilbur the pig. Isn't that the cutest thing. The doll is mint in box but the box is not mint. It had shelf wear. I was thinking of putting this in my private collection but she sold before I did. My loss, another's gain.
I didn't make that much on her, I don't charge for shipping. So, the shipping comes out of my profit. I sold this one for $20 but I care more about selling the dolls to collectors than the money. I never started my store for money, I wanted to share beautiful dolls with others.
So, stop on by and see the beautiful dolls there http://thelittledame.ecrater.com

Dolls, Dolls & More Dolls


This is my American Doll Kit. Most collectors buy brand new with box, as close to new as possible. I, on the other hand, will buy a doll that has flaws because I want to hug them. The little girl in me wants to hold & hug.
Now, my Barbies are mint in box, a collectors dream. But, barbies were not made to hug. Then there are my Chatty Cathy's, I love my Chatty's & am looking for a Canadian chatty for my collection. I have found a couple that I'm interested in but have been dragging my feet. I have a favorite person that I buy from, Chatty Cathy Talks. She does a super job on her dolls, in fact when I got into collecting Chatty Cathy's, she advise me to buy a 1998 reproduction for my first one. I didn't listen, I bought a 1962 doll that she had done (which was far more expensive then the 1998). After the 1962 doll, I did buy the 1998 reproduction. She was right, I love my 1998 more then my 1962. But anyway, I'm waiting to see if she comes up with a canadian.
Two other sites I love to go to, is Shelley's Dolls & Sandy's Creations. If you love Chatty's, these girls have the best dolls around. Of course, there is always ebay of which I go to once a week. Went there yesterday, there is a Rosebud Chatty, mint in box. There is a reserve on it and of course I had to bid. I have 2 Rosebuds, one blonde, one burnette but I couldn't pass this one up. I had to bow out when the price got to high for me but how the heart longs for another Rosebud in my collection :)
Can never get enough dolls. Its always dolls, dolls and more dolls :)

Barbie Parisienne Pretty 2009


In the fall of 2009, Mattel produced Barbie Parisienne Pretty. She is a remake of an old favorite.
If you go to the Mattel Barbie site, they have issued a warning that this doll will develop "green ear". They advise anyone who has purchased this doll to return it to the dealer for another one or you can take out the earrings and replace them with earrings that will not turn the doll green.
I do not have one of these dolls in my store, I almost got one but decided on getting the "Collector's Request" doll of this nature instead. I'm glad I did.
Happy Collecting.
