I am a doll collector and have a wide variety of dolls of varied cultures. This collection consists of dolls I have rescued from resale shops. They all have varied issues from either playtime accidents or simple disrespect of the doll’s value. I like to think I have given them a good home. The sweet facial expressions are just a bonus!
