I am not a collector, but this show was so tempting. Beautiful dolls of every kind. I was looking for the kind of doll that I had as a child, to take pictures, but also looking for the book written by the creator, Mary Hoyer, with fabric, knit and crochet doll clothes patterns. I found it all, to my delight. The two original Mary Hoyer Dolls at $350.00 and $150.00 were both out of my price range, but I did buy the books. I wish I still had the doll that my Aunt Flossie had given me with an ice skating outfit, that she had knit for it. Sweet memories. 8/19/11
