Close up ofDragon Story Doll
During the Show and Sale, I was approached by a couple, Barrie and Danny Shapiro, who own the Toy Shoppe. They are a breath of fresh air in this interesting time we are all living in. Both of them are excited about what they do and so very gracious.
They asked if I would be interested in their shop carrying my dolls. I had to think about this for a bit, and because of their enthusiasm and ease of self...I thought this would be a nice match. So my Dragon Story Doll went into their tender care...

The vest unfolds to reveal the lore of the Dragon which is imprinted on either side of the opening in Chinese and English.
My Story Dolls are inspired from the Chinese Minority Group; these hats are made for children by their expecting Mother’s incorporating a protective quality into each.

Many years ago I pulled away from galleries and shops, for various reasons. I have worked very hard in this doll world and I have been so very fortunate that I can sell directly to my clients. But Barrie and Danny have such a spark about them, I can envision many happy years together...and so a new adventures begins!
I will keep you posted on where this journey takes us!

The silk can be hand-dyed to depict the doll’s ethnicity.
