Saturday Sewing –
Vintage Chatty Cathy and her cousins are getting a new wardrobe! Yes! Today begins a new and exciting focus at Lanetta’s Creations:Creating handmade doll clothes for the adult Doll Collector! I did a Google search on “doll collectors” and got back over a million hits!
I knew I wasn’t the only one who collected dolls!
But it was news to me when I read what the United Federation of DollClubs, Inc. wrote on their home page: “Doll collecting is one of the three largest hobby groups in the world…” Their 63rd Annual Convention is scheduled for July 24th to July 27th, 2012 in New Orleans , Louisiana
OH MY GOODNESS! I just did a Google search with “Who Made Chatty Cathy” … I thought it was Mattel, but wasn’t sure & wanted to confirm… anyway… on the FIRST page of results (out of “about 3,740,00 results”) has “Images for who made Chatty Cathy” and MY CHATTY is shown in her pretty red, white, and blue dress that I handmade! Cool!
The Complete Guide To American Girl Doll Collecting hasn’t been updated in a while, but the information it does have is worth a read.
I love the tagline found on the American Girl Playthings! website:
“Where little girls who play with dolls grow up and become collectors who still play with dolls!”
Join me, along with hundreds of others, in the different Yahoo!Groups of like-minded doll collectors!
Don’t be shy! Raise your hand if you collect dolls! You won’t be alone!
I LOVE YOUR NEW DIRECTION...ADULTS DOLL COLLECTORS NEED NEW FRESH WARDROBES FOR THEIR DOLLS...WHAT A CREATIVE WAY TO OFFER TO A POPULATION OF FOLKS WHO ARE NOT CATERED TO IN THIS AREA!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm excited with the new direction, too!
