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.

Trick or Treat, Me Matey

With Halloween just around the corner, it is time to start searching the closets for costumes. Pirates are always a favorite disguise for dress up. This sweet swashbuckler is Riley, "The Tiny Pirate," who belongs to member Jenell Howell. By doll artist Helen Kish, this 7.5-inch tall petite privateer is a limited edition made for the Kish Luncheon at the 2011 United Federation of Dolls Clubs cConvention in Anaheim, California. All she needs is a Trick or Treat bag for her Halloween booty. 


These stunning Madame Alexander Cissy dolls belong to member Jan Irsfeld. In the center is Captivating Swashbuckler, a 2007 limited edition. The two lovely ladies being escorted by the buxom buccaneer were dressed by the talented Jan. She explained that she loved Alexander's version of Morgan LeFay, but did not care for the colors, so she created her own beautiful versions.
