During my second childhood I revisited my love for dolls. It was amazing to learn about antique and art dolls and that adults collected them. It is the no.2 hobby in America. My search for images has turned up the beautiful pictures in today's post,They are from paintings and photographs from the 1800 and 1900's. Fine art and simple postcards are the source for these darling pictures. A few are repeats.Hope you enjoy them.
