A Dolltown greeting for our Lani and Fin's baby, Jasper,
born July 25th in Melbourne, Australia!
Lula, here with the cake, spent months with Lani and Fin there,
so she gets to give the greeting.
And Scout behind her is making sure Lula doesn't go away again!
Tink is with some of the New Zealand babies that Lula brought back with her last summer!
Baby Jasper isn't eating cake yet, NZ babies!
Wait a minute!
What is Boneka doing with the birthday cake?
And where did he get that bottle of wine!
Okay fine! One glass...under the circumstances!
A toast to you, Lani, Fin, and Jasper....
And some doll related things...

Customer Review by Pen Name Whether you have an antique china head doll or a vintage GI Joe,
this Guide to Dolls is an identification and price guide that's worth having. It seems to replace the Blue Book of Doll Values that Jan
Foulke has become known for. (Her last Blue Book was the 16th edition.)However, don't let the name of the book fool you, it is just as
comprehensive as the Blue Books and is still packed with a lot of photos to help you identify your existing dolls (or those you may be
considering purchasing). The first few pages cover doll collecting in general -- what to look for. Ms. Foulke then provides a few brief
suggestions for buying and selling dolls at auction before getting into the meat of the book--the price guide.
The book lists dolls by manufacturer and by mold number in case that's all you have to go by. Each
doll or type of doll includes a reported price or price range for a doll in good condition.
Whether you are an avid doll collector or someone just trying to clean out the attic, you may want
Jan Foulke at your side before buying or selling your dolls.
Do you have a Jan Foulke's book?
I'd love to hear what you think of it and how you use it!

From the Amazon Summary:
This book guides the reader through the "elementary" clues for solving the mysteries of dolls. These
clues will help you to determine what materials were used for the head, body and hair, and the category of the doll in question. You
will learn how important the length of a doll is in determining when it was made. The 225 photos (32 pages in full colour) and 159
illustrations will help the collector, dealer, or any interested individual to discover not only when a doll was made but also where it
was made and who made it. The Makers and Marks Section includes 162 doll makers and manufacturers with information including mould
numbers, sizes, manufacturing dates and references for over 1600 dolls. This book is an invaluable source for anyone who owns a doll or
dreams of owning one. It is a "must have" for anyone who is curious about dolls.
This book will be arriving in Dolltown soon!
I am providing a link to these lovely nesting dolls handcrafted from linden wood, just because I
really like them.
These Amazon links give me a few pennies, if acted on...
Thanks!

A Good Read!

A mystery solved by two adventurous doll friends. I like the way the author handles doll characters coming
alive when the humans are asleep or absent. A doll oath...hmmmm.
