Member Gail Simpler shared an exciting serendipity. Gail explained that a couple of years after she moved to Boerne, Texas, she stopped at a yard sale. She spotted a hatbox she wanted to purchase. Inside were a miniature rocking chair, matching bed, and a doll dressed in traditional Amish clothing. Gail bought them as well because she thought they were interesting. She had just received Fall 2020 edition of Doll News, the publication of the United Federation of Doll Clubs, and discovered an article by Kari Gluski on Pennsylvania Dutch doll furniture produced in the 1950s and 60s. Gail had no idea there was an extensive line of furniture made and now will be on the lookout for more pieces.
I have a book shelf doll house furnished with many of these pieces.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find. I didn't know about this line of furniture.
ReplyDeleteA quick note: I just received my Doll News so I can read the entire article now. Thanks for this advance notice.
