Thanks for nominating me!
I don't think I have a single book or magazine about dolls. I have seen them, of course, but haven't picked up one since I started collecting. Are you featured in any of the magazines you have?
Hmm. Yes, in American Miniaturist magazine, a few years ago, when I was working in the miniature field. Then some of my chairs were featured in spreads in Haute Doll by some photographers /diorama artists , I have those magazines. I think some of my items were in Miniature collector or Dollhouse Miniatures, can't remember. It has been a long time ago. I've been doing this since 2004/2005 and I have since cleaned out a ton of those magazines and I have a ton of magazines to clean out, I gave alot to a miniature friend who loves'em. I simply don't have room for them. After a while the sentimentality of it wears off and you just want to move the magazines on. I have kept a few special magazines that I like to refer back to, but not that hoard that I used to have--which used to be ALOT. lol. That goes the same way for books. It's sort of moving on to new horizons type of deal, been there, done that.
