Let's Say Thanks To All Of The Wonderful Doll Makers And Artists

I think an absolute thanks is the best we can do for all of the wonderful people in the industry of doll making and creation. These folks that come up with new ideas and creations for a new doll are amazing. How do they keep coming up with something new? We all have a desire for that new doll that fits what we are looking for and they seem to be able to satisfy our dreams. Here is a quick list of just a few I would like to personally thank, even if they all are not around to get it.

These are some special folks to me and I think all of us. There are more thanks to come in a later blog. These are the ones that I have become most familiar with. I am learning more about antique dolls from two people I trust that have collected dolls setting next to celebrities. I might mention these two people in a future artical.
They are getting up in years and have some wonderful insights on what I am doing with this Blog. Thanks again to all mentioned above and have a great day.
