Beauregard/Keyes House, French Quarter, New Orleans, with Doll Collection

Confederate General Beauregard lived here in the 1800's, and author Francis Parkinson Keyes lived here about 30 years (1940-s to 1970's), and wrote many of her 52 published books here.  Below are a few of the most interesting dolls from the collection - an SFBJ, a parian, a blonde common hairdo china, a wonderful dollhouse completely furnished, and a wax-over with pupilless glass eyes in a case.

2013 Annual Doll Sale B'ham Doll Club of AL


Note:  Click on photo to enlarge.

Here are some highlights of our Annual Doll Sale held in Vestavia Hills, AL yesterday.  We had a fun day selling and buying, and it is always educational.  I always find out something new about doll collecting and costuming.
