Last month I shared my new crafty website, Janetsmiles.com that I will be using to augment my Etsy shop. I am excited to share now that I have added a blog page to that website so that I can showcase things I am working on and new items for sale. With the website I can list some things that I may not have in the Etsy store and I’ve set up two new categories, Vintage Dolls and Other Collectibles.
We acquired a collection of porcelain dolls from the 1990s that are for the most part brand new in the box. I have only taken them out to take the pictures. They still have the protective coverings on them to avoid scratching. Some of the boxes look a little worn but the dolls are in great shape. They are from the Danbury Mint and Ashton Drake companies among others. We have probably close to 100 so it will take me a while to photograph and document them all but if you are into collecting dolls, this will be the place to go! Right now I have six items listed but I have another 10 to go in this first batch, including a Shirley Temple doll dressed in her role as Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.
Please feel free to share this info with anyone you may know who likes to collect dolls. Also coming soon to the “Other Collectibles” category will be some vintage tins and perhaps even some baseball cards and Budweiser beer steins! The blog is here and there is a spot to sign up for notification of new posts. You know me though, I promise not to overwhelm your inboxes!

What a great find, Janet. I do love dolls but America is a bit far away from South Africa.

I hear that, Roberta. It is so expensive to send things out of the states. Even to just our neighbors in Canada!

Yes, it is a pity.

Good luck with your new blog/shop. It’s worth a shot, eh?

Thanks Ally. Never know who might see these cuties and absolutely have to have one right? This is typical of something my hubby does all the time though. We have a garage full of things that “somebody was going to get rid of and I just couldn’t pass it up.” At some point we have to be the “somebody” getting rid of things.

Yep, I get that. I am forever getting rid of things, usually via Goodwill. But there’s always more things here.
