Every Spring I like to do a Doll Room Tour to show how my doll room changes year to year. My doll and sewing room is my favorite place. So, I have filled it with all the things I enjoy having around me. I hope you enjoy them too!

My Doll Room is in my attic space. This is the way up!
In the main room I have 2 dressers which hold my doll's clothes.
This is Cissy's drawer for her things that don't need to hang up.
And, here are Shirley Temple's little dresses.
On top of the dresser is my Betsy McCall doll in her case room.
My three China Head dolls.
And some of my favorite doll books.
The brown dresser has my 10" Patsyette reproduction and
the china baby my Grandmother painted
for me when I was a little girl.
To the left of the big white dresser is my Grandmother's secretary.
It now holds some more of my collection.
The bottom shelf holds my Nippon dolls.
Middle shelf.
Top shelf.
To the right of the stairs is a landing with some storage.
But look what's behind those doors!
Elise's and Cissy's room and their poodle Cocoa
The dressing table and lamp I made.
In the 1950s, Cissy was used to sell Yardley Soaps,
these are some of those ads on the wall of her room.
Behind Cissy are a photo of my mother and my
friend Sina and I at a Senior Prom.
Elise at the dressing Table.
Above Cissy and Elise are all the hanging doll dresses.
Behind the mirror doors to the right are all
our American Girl Doll clothes and accessories.
As you turn back to the main room, you see my sewing area.
This cart holds all my doll hat making supplies.
Here is my sewing and blog area. Claire keeps me company.
My ironing station is just behind my sewing chair.
Under my ironing station is my remnants bin.
And to the right of my remnants bin are more
Raggedy's and my Madame Alexander Puddin baby doll.
(my friend Sina has a Puddin, so I wanted one too)

Thank you Marion, I love sharing my dolls and all the projects I am working on. The doll room tour also forces me to clean up my sewing table! Haha!
