Millie's Doll Treasures !

Welcome to Millie's Doll Treasures!

There comes a time in every doll lover's life when the dolls outgrow our space for them!

That has happened to Millie . . . what to do, what to do?

First, we tried doll donations and we've been named Guardian Angel by Kids Wish Network in 2011 and 2012 . . . but more dolls remain.
So Millie decided to share them with YOU at very reasonable prices!

Initially the dolls are from Millie's collection and also ones bought for her own daughter when she was a child.

The Sound of Music, Maria, doll shown above is one of those - and could be part of a set including daughters Liesl and Louisa.

It's intersting that Maria is a 14" girl doll, while the two daughters were fashioned from the Cissette model ie they have jointed knees and wear high heels! They are 10.5 inches tall.

NOTE: All three of the Sound of Music dolls were Made in the USA at the Madame Alexander Doll headquarters in New York City - another coup!




We also have several Mint, Never Removed from Box (NRFB) such as the Cabbage Patch Olympikid Doll shown above.
These Special Edition Dolls were Official Team Mascots for the 1996 Olympics - ours is dressed as a cute Tennis Player.

Another NRFB doll is a Ginny doll produced during her spell with Dakin (yes, the Garfield Toy Company!) called Ginny's Claim.
She was the souvenir doll given to attendees at the Modern Doll Convention held in 1988 in California. Because the event was held in Northern California, Dakin decided that the theme would be the Gold Rush - thus Ginny's outfit complete with patched denim pants and a mining pan! Check out the picture of her sweet face below:


You really need to check out the page at Millie's Doll Treasures in order to see the other unique dolls available. There are three retired fashion doll depicting actual models such as Christie Brinkley and Betsy Johnson - all NRFB.

And, for a bit of REAL San Francisco, check out the two dolls hand dressed by Nicole, a woman in her downtown shop. Her tiny store was amazing to anyone who appreciated lovely dolls! It was located on a busy street with windows on the sidewalk so passers could watch her create - and stop in to buy her dolls! We have two - one we named "Elegant in Black" is shown below:
