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.

Hey, Good Lookin' . . .

Whatcha got cookin'? 
How's about cookin' somethin' up with me? 
Hey, sweet baby 
Don't you think maybe
We could find us a brand new recipe?

Hank Williams, 1951

Jan says that this hauntingly beautiful outfit was inspired by an ensemble from Paris luxury fashion house Balenciaga, originally founded in founded in 1917 by designer Cristóbal Balenciaga in Spain. Cissy certainly seems to have her rival in a stew.
