Friday morning we had quite a crowd. Friday afternoon and Sat. brought a steady stream of collectors and the curious.
On Sat. parents brought along their children who enjoyed shopping as well.
One girl brought along her American Girl doll and was thrilled to find her some clothes for $1.
It is great to see the excitement of new and young collectors!
We were thrilled to meet the Doll Club ladies from Memphis, Nashville, and other areas.
A few collector's brought along their mother's who had started them out in doll collecting years before. We heard many wonderful stories and saw pure wonder when people found a doll they had as a child.
One couple who came to the sale use to have a doll museum. Mrs. M had visited their museum a few years ago. They are hoping to reopen it in the future. They had some great doll collecting stories to tell.
Soon we will post a few pictures of the sale. Please visit Kathryn's Examiner site. She has an excellent article and pictures on the sale.
Many fun and wonderful dolls and "doll stuff" found new homes. We are planning another sale in Oct. 2010.
Last but not least we want to thank the guys at the Bellevue Lodge for accommodating us and all the dolls. They are a kind and caring group of men. Each one who helped us get this sale going and those who stayed at the sale deserve a great big THANK YOU! They have fund raisers through out the year. Watch for their fish fry's, bisquit and gravy breakfast's and more. Let's give these guys our support!
Keep watching this blog. We will be putting up interesting stories, talk about dolls, and will have a few things for sale from time to time.
Have a wonderful Suday!
Mrs. M and Mama Duff
