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.

Fire Burn and Caldron Bubble

Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn and caldron bubble.
Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt and toe of frog,
Wool of bat and tongue of dog,
Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting,
Lizard's leg and howlet's wing,
For a charm of powerful trouble,
Like a hell-broth boil and bubble.

William Shakespeare, Macbeth

This wicked witch, her grinning green-eyed black cat, and her rapacious raven are no doubt boiling up a big batch of toil and trouble for Halloween. The 9-inch tall witch is Hexe from the German company of Simon and Halbig. Her fiendish feline familiar is by Gebruder Heubach and their foul feathered friend was made by Hertwig and Company. They are all from the collection of member Sharon Weintraub.
