March 11, 2006 in Morristown, NJ

The approach of spring signals a lightness of being, a flirtation with the fresh breezes that waft away winter's serious stuff. An airy dalliance. Such a phrase might also describe the exceptional antique doll collection presented here. A fragrant medley of dolls highlighted by the private estate dolls of the late Christine Olson of Tucson, Arizona, and its offerings range from the most beautiful of French bébés to wonderful collections of Door of Hope dolls, piano babies, German characters, and Steiff bears. 8.5" x 11". Softbound. 116 full-color pages.
