What kind of dolls do I collect? How many do I have?

Up until recently, I only collected Sasha Morgenthaler vinyl dolls (the Trendons, not a big fan of the early or later Gotz).  Mine were all made in the early to mid 1980's.   I have one redhead boy

and four girls: two honey blonde, one redhead (with a face-up) and a brunette (ditto.)

and a Limited Edition Harlequin renamed Hannah.  She came with a little red guitar, a straw hat, and a terrible jester-type outfit that I sold on eBay.

She looks a lot better redressed, doesn't she?

I also have Ideal Tammy dolls (I currently have three Tammys and two Peppers (Tammy's little sister.).  They have been with me the longest.

About ten years ago I started collecting Sylvia Natterer vinyl dolls.  They are similar to the Sasha's in articulation and expression.  I love their little faces!  I have one vinyl baby, four of the 13" Minouche and two 16.5" Zwergnase girls (Claire and Aurora from 2004).  There are a few random dolls, too:  a small cloth body Kathe Kruse and a larger vinyl KK.   Every once in a while I start to panic at the amount of dolls that live with me and start selling them off, which is why I only have five Sasha's left.

I said goodbye to a White Balloon Milly doll.  I miss her, but her cartoonish face really didn't fit in very well with the rest of my kids.

I recently picked up a funny little Beatrice Perini from the thrift store for $1.50.  She's got really short hair and two buck teeth, and I think she's supposed to look like her stuffed rabbit that wasn't with her anymore. 

I will probably sell her eventually, but for now she enjoys hanging out with the Minouche girls.

to be continued.

Sashas Then and Now

The blondes on the top are my original Sasha, with the original name of Sasha.  I sold her a while ago.  The next one in the nightgown is the Schoolgirl, I named her Elenore, and I regret selling her.
Next is my Harlequin Sasha, named Hannah, and happily she is still mine.  So is the Honey Blonde "Party Dress" Sasha, who is named Halliny.
The little brunette is a Sasha Marina repaint by Mary Madeco Smith.   She is fun to pose!
