How long have you been collecting dolls?: 1 Year

Why did you start collecting? When my friend first told me about them I thought she was insane until I saw one in person. I just had to get a daughter! The endless possibilities!

Where do you adopt (buy) your dolls?: VolksUSA Lottery
How much money have you spent on your doll hobby?: I really try not to think about it too much. I am sure it is a lot because I am big into shoes for my girls. I am starting to think that they have more clothes than I do!
What sort of doll events do you attend?: Local Meet ups

What are so special about dolls?: I love the fact that you can change anything about them. I used to collect dolls when I was around 3 years old and I didn’t like that you couldn’t bend their arms and legs very far. I was an only child for 8 years so I would keep myself entertained for hours on end with dolls. When I am having a bad day I just lock myself in my doll room and dress them up and pose them. Best of all, they don’t complain and they are always there smiling when you get home! They are the best subjects to photograph because they do exactly what you want them to. Yukino goes pretty much anywhere with me everyday.
