Protect and Preserve Your Dolls

Friday July 11, 2008
My home is in an area of California that has been under constant seige by wildfires in the past several weeks. The skies are filled with smoke, and I've had to take some extra measures to protect my doll collection. Protecting and preserving your dolls is essential whether you have modern vinyl dolls or antique and vintage dolls, since proper preservation is necessary to protect the value and beauty of all dolls. Light...smoke...heat...bugs..it's a scary world out there for dolls! Read my Top 10 Tips To Protect and Preserve Your Dolls to find out how to keep your doll treasures safe and beautiful for many years to come.

Wow, hope your place stays free of those fires.
In your guide for dolls from 1940 thru 1970’s you forgot Bonnie Braid… I have a bunch of them that I have collected over the years, she is Dick and Tess Tracys’ baby from the Dick Tracy comic strip, also have Sparkle Plenty.
