New show plans

The spring shows are over and were a big success.   I plan to keep busy for the summer with repairs and new doll collections.  I am already making plans for the fall doll shows in Vallejo, Pleasanton and San Jose. By then I should have lots of dolls that have never been to these shows and will be bringing Laverne Goodwin's antique and vintage trims and material for all those interested in making or restoring doll clothes. I have a pile of trims, lace and fabric that need to be packaged and priced to fill up the holes in my stock created by the last round of shows.  Be sure to bring your patterns and sewing plans so you can get what you need to finish your projects.  See the shows page for details See Doll Show Schedule  Always remember the dolls I am selling are available in my shops between shows. 

New Shop For Sales and Repairs

I have added a new shop to sell dolls in and accept repair projects. The Shop is Main Street Antiques in Turlock CA.  I have a small space there for sales and they will be a drop off and pick up point for repairs.  See my shops page for details and directions. 

Doll Sales on the Web

Everyone is always asking me why don't I sell dolls on the web.  Well now I have the answer you have all been waiting to hear.  I have started to sell a selection of vintage and antique dolls from my web site. I have started the listing processes and will be posting more dolls for sale on the web as fast as my husband (My web master) can take the photos and enter the listing text.   See web listings I have always been hesitant to sell on the web because it takes a lot of effort to do it right.  I have tried to be sure my listings have the information you need to appreciate the doll you are looking at and be sure you are comfortable and confident about the doll when you decide to purchase. 

New Car

For those of you who may have seen me at a show or at a shop I wanted to let you know that I have a new Doll Fixer mobile.  My old blue wagon was going to need some serious work.  Given the great deals the dealer was giving on new cars it made more sense to trade in for a new car instead of doing the needed work on the old one.  I went for a different color.  I really liked the blue but it just showed the dirt too much.  I do like the new color and it looks clean even if there is just a little dust on it.
