I collect blue-and-white china, mostly plates etc that we use everyday. Cookbooks, mostly about bread baking. Kitchen stuff that I find at estate sales and can't resist. That's slowed way down since I'm out of room for it but I love the "what's this?" things. I have old Florida tourist souvenir plates like my grandmother used to collect. Turkish copper kitchen ware like gelatin molds and large platters. Can you tell I like to cook and to eat?? So much of it has come from estate sales, I feel like it's having a second life with me. I'm always looking for something interesting to put in the garden. Oh, and I guess I collect border collies since my sister says "one of something is unique, two is a pair, and three is a collection" and we have three. It would be so much fun to visit each other and see what we all collect in person. Even if I'm not personally interested in it I love to see what someone else is passionate about, that does make it interesting to me. Suzanne

I am very happy to see that I'm the only one that has inherited the specific problem. I had a next door neighbor actually that left me her entire doll making collection because her kids were no longer interested in it I'm still going through it as I have just taken possession of it less than a week ago. So far I have come across between 20 and 40 of the Seeley's molds everything from teeth to tongues to heads to arms and legs I have green where eyeballs wigs clothes stands paint brushes slips porcelain and my collection even came with the American Beauty kiln model number AB18 serial number 408. If anyone is looking for anything at all please contact me at austindoublea83@gmail.com. I'm located near Houston Texas and will be more than happy to provide you with pictures or anything you might need. I have no preference whether it is an individual item or sold as a lot. I will try to keep you guys up to date on what it is I find but I have over 60 boxes to go through and so many individual pieces.

Hi, Do you still have the free molds and supplies? I am VERY interested. Please contact me and let me know asap. I live in Texas. Do you happen to have pic's of the molds? Shannon silverspring924@yahoo.com

Oh Rosie, I know what you are saying. I ended up with what we call 'naked doll syndrome'. I was making dolls faster than I could sew the clothing. I finally gave in and started purchasing clothing at the Doll Shows in Orlando. Wish you were closer. I have yards of batisse (sp) thin weight poly/cotton, bought lace by the rolls - 30 - 50 yards at a time in every color it came in, if I really liked it. I finally fell into Joyce Wolfe's fairies. Then the glass cases, mirrors and pieces of coral to sit the fairies on. Have the silk dress kits for her fairies, wings, crowns. As I got older, my dolls got smaller. Sold BIG kiln and molds for larger dolls - around 18 inches. Now I find that I have no interest in the little ones either, have turbo kiln almost brand new. Did do some decals on porcelain blank plates, dishes, cups, bowls, that's a lot of fun. Even did glass decals on tiles for behind kitchen oven, very pretty. Wish we were closer, have I got some goodies you would enjoy. Wish I could find someone in FL with your love of dolls! Hope to remain in contact with you. teacup fairies.
