Today I attended the Doll and Miniature estate sale of Harriet and Larry Garnett who were active in the Va. Miniature Enthusiasts and N.A.M.E. (Larry and Harriet were founding members back in the 1970's of National American Miniature Enthusiasts) and Harriet was a member of the Dorothy Coleman Doll Club that I now belong to. I used to be a member of the Va. Miniature Enthusiasts many years ago, and Larry and Harriet were great mentors to me starting out. I went to elementary school here in Lakeside with their younger daughter Valerie, so it was a bittersweet oppurtunity to attend this sale. I was able to purchase a couple of books and an adorable Madame Alexander doll.
The Madame Alexander doll is an Ana McGuffy doll, she has the cutest face which I hope to use in a diorama scene with my Gene dolls. The two books were on my list to acquire, I have been to the Williamsburg Abby Aldrich Rockefeller museum and have seen this dollhouse, it is amazing. I am still working on deboxing the W Club dolls that are remaining so I will have more to blog soon.
