Dolls ignite our psyches with the healing warmth of our once childhood play pals, now adulthood treasures. Dolls allow us to nurture and be nurtured. Remember how often your own little dolly needed your undivided attention as you bathed, dressed, fed and tended him or her by the hour. Now that nurturing is returned to you twice-fold, bringing back the nostalgia of childhood and the wonder of that memory. Yes, you were.
Dolls elicit the same simple-hearted beauty and delicacy again.
Spending precious moments with lovely dolls and all of their tiny accoutrements can transcend all the responsibilities and challenges of daily life. What does it matter that the kitchen floor needs a coat of wax or that the boss was in a foul mood again today or that little Tommy wants to have his ear pieced when you can come inside and play. It does not matter when you are playing. Yes, I am. You've just joined the fastest growing army of collectors whose numbers world wide are increasingly surpassing those of coin and stamp collectors, no small feat in itself as these have been around so much longer.
