Denise's Doll Collecting Blog

Welcome To Dolls Blog: The Doll Collecting Blog!

Welcome to Dolls Blog: The Doll Collecting Blog! I'm Denise Van Patten, your dolls blogger.

You might think that it would be impossible to blog about dolls, but you'd be wrong! I'm a fairly obsessed doll collector--I run this Doll Collecting web site--Doll Collecting at About.com, I own and manage a doll store, I'm writing a doll book, and I've been an active doll collector for over 20 years.

In other words, I have lots to say about dolls on a daily basis. So, sit back, enjoy, and thanks for joining me on this new blogging adventure!

I have several complete sets of Ashton Drake angel baby dolls (Heavenly Inspirations, Blessed are the Children, All I Wish for You, Lucky Charmers and others), approximately $2,500 to $3,000 original value. I started collecting in 1992. We have had to move into a small single-wide mobile home and I have to sell them. They are in original boxes w/hangtags and original wrapping w/certificates of authenticity. Is there a website or something to contact other doll collectors and see if anyone is interested in my angel babies? People want me to give them to them for nothing, but I don’t want to go that route. I don’t expect to make a killing on them, just want them to go to good homes.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated
Thank you,

Hi Sam, regarding your question about certificate on katherine’s collection dolls.
When purchasing your doll you should have received your certificate in the box.
We have been selling Katherine’s Collection for over four years now. We always provide this information however the tag sewn at the back of the doll will state this is katherines product. I do hope this helps you.
Decorative living have just launched some beautiful collections which can be found on our website.
