More Doll News!
The biggest news is, of course, Kirsten's retirement! She is such a cute doll but I don't think she's received the attention she deserves (unless you happen to be Swedish - then you probably know her well!) Above is our Kirsten dressed in our Scandanavian Winter outfit that we think is perfect for her. Coming soon are a few replicas including her winter coat (and snowshoes!) that was been retired quite a few years.
We'll let you know when they arrive.
Good News!
Our Early Bird Holiday Sale is preoceeding well! This week we have the Madame Alexander 8 and 10 inch Dolls up for sale . . . and some of them are brand new such as Wendy Loves Bambi (complete with Bambi and Thumper) and the new Hanukkah Doll (shown below)- the first one in several years.
Next week the Madame Alexander baby dolls will be on sale - don't miss it!
Sad News:
* The Life of Faith Doll company has unfortunately gone out of business - we have a few of their outfits still available such as Elsies Nightgown Ensemble shown below:
I personally think it's one of the prettiest sets around . . . and it's on Sale right now! We also have Kathleen's Kilt but shown on a Magic Attic doll Here .
* Also on the bad side of things is that several out-of stock dolls will NOT be here until the second week of December!!! That includes the Gotz 18 inch dolls AND the Madame Alexander new 18 inch dolls (see a picture below) - what a bummer! The positive news is that we hope to offer limited advance orders at a sale price on the Gotz and Madame Alexander 18 inch Dolls - we'll definitely let you know more about that!

It's too bad that Kirsten is being archived. She didn't even get a movie.:(
It's even sadder that the Life of Faith Doll company is going out of business. They're really pretty dolls and they have beautiful clothing. I also loved their books.
From Millie:
I agree with both! Incidentally, the beautiful clothing for Life of Faith dolls was designed by Robin Woods, a fantastic doll designer!
She was originally with Pittsbugh Originals, then with Madame Alexander for a bit (under the name Alice Darling). She's always had a way with dolls!
