Thank you, 2014!

As the year ends, Dolldom takes the opportunity to celebrate dolls and to thank many with whom we have collaborated to make "life de luxe in a smaller scale"a possibility. The celebration party (only dolls should go to parties and, as BillyBoy* once said, wear haute couture) was attended by many of Dolldom most beloved denizens and these candid shots are but a mere sample of the fun they had. We hope that you enjoy them. And, by the way, thank you, dear readers, for your visits and comments all throughout the year.

A Tiny Tree

Tiny. Small. Reduced in size. That's the Dolldom motto. And luxe is never better than when in miniature. To extend the theme, Dolldom presents its Tannenbaum. A three foot tree in white goose feathers, this baby wonder houses many little ornaments, most figural, and all looking as if the came out of Mrs. Haversham's house. Dolldom believes that old ornies ought to have a place to live and that the patina of surviving time's passage is a great badge of courage. So here it is! Surrounded by beloved dolls and toys, the Dolldom Tannenbaum wishes you a happy Christmas.
