About Us
My Shop was started with antique dolls lovingly collected by my 'Mimi' and grandfather during the 1950's and 60's. She purchased hundreds of dolls during this period of time. She kept this collection together until 2000, when it was passed to my mother and father. The nudies, bathing beauties and naughties that she had were kept by my grandfather until 2005. The authenticity of this collection can be verified by the documentation that she made when she purchased these beautiful dolls.They both had a exceptional eye for quality and value and put together an astonishing collection. When I was a child I was amazed by the number of beautiful dolls she had and loved the stories she told me about where they came from. She documented each and every doll, and kept all things original. My 'Mimi' left this wonderful collection to be enjoyed. I have certainly enjoyed them over the years and now wish to share some of them with you. The dolls I have placed on this site are just a small sample and have been selected for their value and uniqueness. There are rare German and French nudies and half dolls along with small bye-lo babies in original cloths. I have many other dolls made by such famous makers as J.D. Kestner, Simon & Halbing, FS&C Franz Schmidt, just to mention a few, that I will also be adding to my shop. I look forward to sharing my 'Mimi's' dolls with you.

My shop includes rare antiquarian books that my father collected and sold in the 1970's. He
collected many, many children's, history, children's series books and probably a book for every interest.

My grandparents collected antiques and my parents bought and sold antiques so you can see that one generation is following the ones before! Happy Shopping!!!
