That soon becomes a lie as we try to find places to keep them and protect them. I had to stop buying ones in boxes because it became unruly. Sometimes I just wanted the doll because I liked the box. I have never figured out where to keep the giant Jackie Kennedy one I bought many many years ago. It's huge! Doesn't fit anywhere. I don't know what I was thinking other than it was a category. Presidents. President's wives. Oh, and President's daughters. Have some of those too.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-47210898101655174142010-02-22T19:34:50.086-08:002010-02-22T19:34:50.086-08:00yes, we must limit the scope of our paper doll col...yes, we must limit the scope of our paper doll collecting! It gets out of hand, real fast. Never seen this one before, thanks for posting it. I've also learned to content myself with a digital copy of things I love.

It gets obsessive for some. I realized early on that I needed to stick with categories or I'd be going nuts. Decided against collecting movie star dolls from the 1950s. Though the covers were wonderful the contents were usually pretty drab. As to miniatures. I have always worried that if I opened that gate a flood would follow. I did buy a few wonderful pieces a few years ago at an estates sale with intentions of selling them, but they now either reside in my doll cabinet, on my bookshelf, or in boxes. I have a collector personality with way too many interests. <br /><br />And I truly value you stopping by here on a regular basis. Makes my day a little brighter knowing the Scot in England has been by.<br /><br />Oh, oh...I just remembered there was a fantastic museum in London, a toy museum that had incredible miniatures. I can't remember the name. Something with the word "Green" in the title. Wish I could remember. Incredible place.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586104591124883214.post-19428000452260901742010-02-22T13:10:23.888-08:002010-02-22T13:10:23.888-08:00Well I come to look and see all your posts, so I&#...Well I come to look and see all your posts, so I'm not sure you can count me! I loved paper dolls as a child but I have to say I have no desire to collect them now. I do think I probably have a latent Dolls House collecting urge lurking somewhere as I love all things miniature, but somehow I have managed to resist so far.Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854564777269577428noreply@blogger.com
