One of the many Barbie Collector Catalogs recently added to the Learning Center.
21-16-2022 - I am pleased to announce that the DWL has added 35 new Barbie Collector Catalogs to the Museum's Learning Center.  The catalogs range from 2004 through 2013.  More complete than any collectors guide, these catalogs can help you identify dolls you already have or determine which Barbie dolls are next on your "must buy" list.  

If you have any catalogs that you would like to add to the Museum's collection, please contact me on how you can submit them.  As always, appropriate credit will be given.  
HASBRO'S WORLD OF LOVE JOINS THE DOLLS WE LOVE!
12-11-2021 - Dolls from the World of Love collection produced by Hasbro from 1971 through 1972 have recently been added to the Museum,.  More fun groovy fashions and dolls in their original outfits are still coming soon.  I hope you enjoy this fun approach by Hasbro to the hippie happenings of the time!  The dolls are even appropriately named: Soul, Love, Peace, Music, and Flower, and then there is their friend Adam, too!  Wonder why he was given such a normal name? Rumor has it he was named after one of the designers sons.

MODERN 18" PLAY DOLLS

It seems my mother's collection has grown from Magic Attic Club dolls to include Journey Girls, Stardust Classics, Adora, and just for fun a large collection of LaLa Loopsy dolls. Each of these collections continues to grow and are also just waiting to be photographed to be added to the Museum.  Any catalogs, pamphelts and instruction sheets for these dolls will also be added to the Museum.  

Of course, we also have American Girl dolls Molly and Julie and a large portion of each of their collections, that will also be joining our Musuem.


​NEW 70s COLLECTIONS

Since I grew up in the 1970s, my main collection has changed and is now more focused on the dolls that were more popular when I was a child.  Those dolls include the Crissy Family of dolls, the Mattel's Rock Flowers, The "Skinny" Ginny produced by Lesney and of course, Singing Mimi (has anyone ever found one of these dolls that actually sings?)  Each of these collections is near complete and just waiting to be photographed and added to the Museum.  Catalogs, pamphlets and instruction sheets for all these dolls will also be added to the Museum's massive collection.

THE IDEAL CRISSY FAMILY GALLERY GETS AN UPGRADE

One of the first Galleries to be upgraded was the  Ideal Beautiful Crissy & Friends Gallery.  Please take a few minutes to enjoy the new quality photos of Crissy, Kerry, Tressy and Brandi and their fashions. Since the website first appeared, I have been working on adding to and upgrading the photos of the Ideal Beautiful Crissy dolls.  You can now enjoy photos of all Crissy's outfits, even some of the harder to find pieces. Quality photos of each outfit have been added to the website, including photos of hard to find pieces.  A new page for carry cases and other accessories is currently under construction as is the page for Velvet and her friends.  

OTHER NOTABLE DOLLS 

So, the 70's are not actually your thing . . . The museum's vintage collection also includes such all time favorites as Betsy McCall, Miss Revlon, Little Miss Revlon, American Character and Ideal Toni dolls, along with Jill and her little sister Ginny.  There might also be just a few American Character Tressy dolls.  We will also be adding more modern dolls such as Kitty Collier, Kids and Cats, American Girl, Ashton Drake's Gene dolls, Neo Blythe, NaNaNa Surprise and more.
