We are so excited to be having this wonderful show. I know there are so many people that have never been introduced to a wonderful collection of such a diverse type and era of doll collecting. The antique dolls dressed in original outfits are truly works of art and contribute to our knowledge of history. Seeing the newer dolls remind us of wonderful memories of our childhood play. There will be such a quantity of items that the collectors will surely find something they have been looking for like a new doll, a dress, or a wig. Come out and see. You may see something that you would love! Visit: Delightful Dolls of Southern California
