Read Another Collector's Profile

1st Black Barbie (box year 1979, on market in 1980)

Whitney Wade shares her collector's profile with Sherry Howard of myauctionfinds.com, in "There's More to Barbie Than Just Great Looks."  I found this to be another enjoyable read in the series Sherry is writing on people who collect black dolls and wanted to share the link here.

I Enjoyed Reading: Baby Dolls Don't Eat, Cry, or Grow up and Sass!

Formerly owned by Ms. Etta Houston, this is Effanbee's 1970s Educational Doll that uses the Dydee sculpt.

In a March 2012, blog post, I shared links to the catalog of dolls from the collection of Ms. Etta Houston that were to be auctioned by Kim's Korner.  The date of the auction was March 17, 2012, which took place in Richmond, Texas, but absentee bids were allowed.  Except for the author of Male Doll World, I am not sure how many people placed and won absentee bids.

I never met Ms. Houston, but I own dolls from her collection.

Ms. Houston's daughter, Barbara, recently shared her mother's collector's profile with Sherry Howard of MyAuctionFinds.com.  It is a long, but interesting read that I thoroughly enjoyed and could relate to as a doll lover on several points. 

Here's the link to Baby Dolls Don't Eat, Cry, or Grow up and Sass!

If interested, read more about Effanbee's Educational Doll (the one featured above) here.

Here is the link to my post announcing the Kim's Korner auction of Ms. Houston's dolls. The post contains a link to the photo gallery of Ms. Houston's dolls that were up for auction.

When Dolls Talk, I Listen

Sherry Howard of Auction Finds and the Stories Behind Them is publishing a series of profiles on people who collect black dolls.  For my profile, "When Black Dolls Talk, Debbie Garrett Listens," Sherry asked some really great questions that led me down doll collector's memory lane.  It was a fun trip.  My memory excursion can be read here. 

Thanks again Sherry for your interest in my passion for black dolls! 

If you collect black dolls and are interested in sharing your profile with Sherry, do let her know!
