One last change Asa, one last day of visits. You can do it!

Asa takes time for reflection and when she emerges she gathers her family around her. This is her tribe-bjd's from around the world. The girls Mercy, Simmin, and Terra. The boys Spiro and Bo. And Airus, our ghostly presence. Or he wishes.

Gabby and the Girls with Asa

Dolltown children! Well, the girls, now... They straggled in but ALMOST all of them were there. Gabby first. Because she likes to be first. And Priscilla came too! And Fancy Nancy, little Phoebe, Whoopi and Shasta, Vera, Pam, and Nellie, and Lilac Moon. And Vikka came to keep an eye on all the girls. They gathered nicely for a group photo. And things fell apart a little. Children will be children. Then two surprising things happened. Asa just raised her hands slightly and all went quiet. The...

Jester Jim and Don Quixote at Dolltown Abbey!

Jester Jim! A Czech Marionette made entirely of linden wood... Jester Jim arrived a while ago and has been hanging out with Don Quixote. JJ has advice for all of us passing by their hanging rod.

From his philosophy of life to world politics (that the dolls are watching), from how long bread should rise, to how...

Asa and Kasma the Clown...

Asa meets a newcomer to Dolltown, Kasma the Clown. We found him recently at the Bailey House, a place that sells things no one else wants. How could anyone not want this adorable guy! We do! Kasma is still wearing his hangtag, which is where he gets his name. Apparently the Kasma Collection has been a leading supplier of hand-made collectors dolls for years, and our clown looks like he has been around for years. So we are letting him keep his hangtag on. He's so used to it! Kasma is just...

Asa Plans Her Open House!

What!? Asa has invited, not only our reporter Miley, but ALL the Dolltown dolls. Does she understand what she is in for? Actually yes. She worked it out with the Juniors here, and with Lee and business partner, redheaded Arlen. They know the numbers and have worked out a schedule!! (We do say we have 100 dolls here, although that number fluctuates.) It will take more than one day, they figure... Tell me about it. I am the photographer. Phew! And Miley, who was first, and came the day before the...
