Fran, I just re-read your question and the awnser is No. Alas. the first
day sale will be a ton of jewelry ( Not mine), the remainder of my hats (not
included in the catalogue; probably about 50/75), books related to
fashion/costuming (my contrib to this catagory are movie/theater and a few
collection guides). Also probably about 500 pieces of vintage clothing
(1940s/90s), and my purses of leather, crochet, mesh, and beading; a few
compacts and pill boxes; shoes (19thC-20thC). There are also other
consiners with hats, purses, and other stuff related to fashion.
The catalogue of 300 plus lots comprises about 1000 pieces. I saved a few
of the dresses and gowns that fit Me, also several of my best hats which I
wear on many occasions, and most of my significant lace collection.
Yesterday I put together two dolls using some of my recent e-Bay purchases.
One is a Gwenivere designed in the early 1960s; the other is a gorgeous Bru
repro with red hair. I used the Seeley body pattern this time and have your
books at the ready for the wardrobe. I have found that your pattern shapes
as scaled can be used directly for dolls of the 18" scale. So, let my new
career begin!
Kathleen

Three Rivers has not posted an online catalog of the first day of this.
Are they going to?
Thanks,

Yes Kathy , it is in a way. But my 'children' need to grow and get on in
the world. Some of them have led a very reclusive life...and that is why
they are beautiful. Getting on in age, myself, continuing the care
necessary for the preservation and Conservation of such a wonderful
collection will only become more complicated. And so, I challenge
another generation to take up cause.
