2015 marked our 35th year of dollmaking and to celebrate, for our 2016 collection we have created 3 special editions of 20" Lillian, who featured on our book from 2015 - Celebration of Enchantment. New for 2016 also is little 10" Minnie.


Michael and I Love Venice and this year we took Lillian with us on our yearly trip! Also with us were Barbara Spadaccini, author of our book and our great friends Adrian Hodgetts and Pauraic Sweeney.

Lillian goes to Venice. This very special edition of  Lillian has a wardrobe of 3 outfits in a lovely Venetian box and she has a wonderful wooden Palazzo by Tim Rossiter. She also comes with a journal of our wonderful holiday.
