Dolls

Ok, I play with dolls. Thank goodness I have a daughter, so that I can pretend that I am playing dolls with her.

For more information about the different aspects of collecting artist dolls, collectible dolls and play dolls, see the links at the left of this page. Information about doll collecting in general is included below

UFDC

Miss Unity The Windy City Doll Guild is an affiliate of the UFDC (United Federation of Doll Clubs). It's nice to get together with others who share this obsession. A National Library for researching dolls opened in the greater Chicago area in May of 1997.

The Windy City Doll Guild donated the proceeds of our 1995 Christmas auction (approximately $1,000) to the UFDC National Library. It was used towards the purchase of a case to house dolls that are owned by UFDC. Anyone in the Chicago area should really visit this facility if you get a chance.

NIADA

The National Institute of American Doll Artists is an organization dedicated to artistic excellence in the field of dollmaking. The membership has been expanded in recent year to include artists from around the globe. The patrons of NIADA are those collectors who appreciate Fine Art Dolls. For more information on this organization go to the NIADA web site.
