New In The Store

New in the store is Barbie Legends of Ireland The Bard. This photo is my stock photo. The box was damaged during shipping so it has a crease on the top and bottom of the box. This means that the box is not mint. The doll is mint and never been removed from box. She is one of the most popular Barbie dolls. I'm selling her for $175

You can stop by the store at http://thelittledame.ecrater.com

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

Hope You All Had A Great Holiday

Hope you all had a good Christmas!!! Here's to Doll hunting :)

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 :)

About the New Dolls

In my previous post I shared about new dolls that came my way. I have gone thru all of them. I have kept all the Barbies & Ken's and 2 dolls from Germany.








It was agreed, that the dolls I did not want or feel that I could not sell would be given away to a charity. And that is what I have done.








Most of the Barbie's I already had in my store, there are quite a few Holiday Barbies that I do not have in my store, the plastic box on them are old and I don't know how they will clean up. These I will put in my store. The 2 German dolls do not have boxes or certificates. I have been trying to air all dolls out, it is a slow process.








As of yet, I have not put any of them in my store. There is a Princess Diana doll ,mint in box which I have put in my own collection. It is a 2nd edition, so it is rare but not very rare.








That is the latest on the dolls that were given to me. Take care, everyone :)

New Dolls

My in laws surprised me the other day when they came for a visit. In the car they had tons of dolls.





My mother in law has a friend whose mother passed away. She was a collector of dolls and they gave them to me.





The dolls need to be cleaned, the woman was a smoker but I am excited about it. So, look forward to some new 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.
