AUSTIN DOLL COLLECTORS SOCIETY

The Austin Doll Collectors Society is an organization of antique, vintage, and modern doll collectors, dealers, and artisans. We meet on the second Sunday of each month and our meetings are fun and educational. We begin with refreshments and socializing, and, following our brief business meeting, there is a special doll-related program and "show and tell." The Austin Doll Collectors Society is a nonprofit organization and is a member of the United Federation of Doll Clubs.

Devilishly Bewitching

This darling devil and wonderful witch are ready for an evening of trick or treating. The pair belong to member Bette Birdsong. The 26-inch tall witch is a Jumeau and the 24-inch tall devil is by Simon and Halbig. Bette says that her mother made the devil costume and that she rigged the witch one out of an antique doll skirt. The Jumeau was Bette's first and she admits that she refused to leave a woman’s kitchen until she sold her the Jumeau! The adorable devil was purchased in Galveston and someone had made her earrings by threading tiny seashells on string.
