I am moving in the spring this year. In an effort to organize my stuff and minimize what I have to pack, I took on the project of sorting through every doll I own and tossing the ones that don't inspire me to create or have heavy nostalgia. I thought this project would take me one week, it ended up taking me a whole month, but the results were very valuable.
I started out with an estimated 46 dolls. Just taking inventory was a huge eye opener. I thought I only had about 20 dolls, and I had more than double that. I had dolls stashed in every room in the house, even my kitchen! Madness! Every doll was in excellent condition, with all their original accessories, by the way. I'd even ordered doll stands for the ones that didn't come with stands. It's a NICE collection. I love my dolls, so I knew this was going to be an emotional process. In spite of this, I set the goal to cut my collection in HALF. I prepared a cardboard box, got some large ziplock bags, and started putting dolls I was willing to part with in each bag, with their clothes, accessories, and a stand for each, and put each bag in the box.
