Hillsborough, NH Dolores Smith - Antique Doll Addiction - In the beginning... she was Dolores D'Eramo, the youngest of two children. Her brother, an only child for 10 years, was not too thrilled about having a little sister invade his kingdom. But Dolores quietly found her place in the family assuming the role of her mother Rosina's, helper, comrade and best friend. Were there dolls in Do- lores' early life? I'm sure they were. I seem to recall a story of an old compo she loved, that her mother outfitted in simply-made wardrobe. They were hard-working, old school Italians; her father, Dante, was a paver, by trade, and in spite of the long hard days in the summer, he always had a beautiful garden with vine-ripe tomatoes and fresh basil, the key ingredients in Rosina's all-day tomato sauce. Along with the gardens, Pop would order a truck- load of grapes from the produce market, and every fall he would begin the ritual of squeezing grapes for his East Boston "Reserve" red table wine. Dolores remembered it to be kind of "icky" but was good for soothing the struggles of daily living. Dolores was a lot like her mother and developed a passion for cooking, and soon she learned all of her secrets: the sauce, raviolis, and making pasta in every shape imaginable... Pasta was a required element at every meal. Cooking may have been life, but for Dolores, the most significant thing that she learned from her mother, a seamstress by trade, was sewing. Making her own clothes and later the creations for the dolls, was the food for her creative soul. Growing up in old-time Boston you could walk to shops... Little Italy was everywhere: crowded city streets, teeming with the freshest ingredients; Haymarket Square fruits and Vegetables; Italian specialty meats & cheeses; the finest olive oil and breads to die for! Dolores, young and plucky, was al- ways ready for a new adventure. Cooking, collecting, and a keeper of traditions - her mother's Pasta board remains, one of her most treasured family heirlooms. As life improved the family moved to a new home in Billerica, Mass. Dolores attended high school in the suburbs and got a summer job as a teller at the local Savings Bank and worked there part time during the school year. She was a business student in high school and it seemed logical that she should pursue a career in banking when she graduated. Though not her dream job... she didn't HATE it! In many ways, working at the bank for so many years, it became the fertile ground on which to nurture her life long love of crafts and collecting. Working 9 to 5, it wasn't the type of job you take home with you.... and when you balanced out your drawer at the end of the day, your mind and body were your own. She would hurry home to her crafts, her dolls, her bears. With her nimble hands, Dolores could wield a needle and thread, cut an intricate pattern and use a glue gun with trigger- like accuracy. Soon her creations of bears and dolls' clothes were noticed by an adoring public and she began making things on special order. Back in the 60's, the craft fairs became a popular past time for many... those seek- ing that special something to buy, and they were very lucrative for those with an entrepreneurial spirit. Dolores thrived in this community. At the Sunday doll and bear shows, buyers and sellers had the opportunity to interact with like-minded people and those friendships have endured. Though often gentle and unobtrusive, the impact of her presence was both profound and lasting. In that early period, one tiny treasure Dolores became known for, was the Teddy Bear piggy-back purse... so tiny, so tedious, she could cut, stitch and stuff those diminutive satchels flawlessly. Even today, her signature purses, are occa- sionally seen on Ruby Lane or at doll shows - often mistaken for antique. They could be considered the seed of the Dolores Smith doll collection - with few mate- rials, a good idea and a bit of ingenuity, she could create a tiny gem that would fetch a good profit. Accordingly, with a small investment and Dolores' ability to transform something forlorn and make it special, many common dolls in need of make-overs became treasures to an adoring public. You know what they say about a sow's ear... in the doll world, there are so many silk purses just waiting to be Miniature Piggy-Back Purse revealed. So the exciting evolution of Dolores Smith’s Doll collection began. by Dolores Smith 2 Doll Cat may '19 Day 1 GREETINGS_Layout 1 4/15/2019 8:33 PM Page 3 There were always a couple of shows every month and Dolores, often commented..."I don't know how I found the time to make all those dresses... with a full-time job!" Of course, her husband Lon, would repair and restring the dolls, when necessary, but in reality, there were so many steps to take to put together a collection for a show: Acquire the dolls and fabrics; Make dozens of dresses to sell; Redress or make outfits for the better dolls; finish the bears. The dolls were often used as mannequins for Dolores' designer doll clothes, made with antique fabrics and laces, but they were often sold together with the ensembles... including her hats and shoes. Dolores once said, (she never liked to brag), that at a good show, several thousand dollars in sales were typical. There was constant pressure to find fresh merchandise to fix up and sell and Dolores would attend the Withington Doll auc- tions whenever possible. Where would the beginners be without those box lots!! In the early days of doll col- lecting, almost anything would sell... there was a buyer for every kind of doll... and with four hundred years of dolls represented, the choices seemed endless. In addition to the shows, E-bay became the conduit by which anyone could become an international en- trepreneur! So it was with Dolores, and that became another means to further expand her doll passion, the fire burned inside her and nothing was more stimulating than the doll connection and together, the success of the doll shows and E-Bay, confirmed Dolores' strong feeling that the dolls were her destiny. With her husband Lon's sup- port and encouragement she climbed the ladder to greatness. Many people fear change and stay on the safe side avoiding the unknown.

    CHRISTMAS AT GLENSHEEN: "Through the Eyes of a Child" By Ann Russell "Through the Eyes of a Child" was the theme for the 1984 Christmas season at Glensheen. Visitors and docents alike were treated to all that a child holds dear at this magical season: wonder, excitement, and — toys! Antique toys and dolls appeared under Christmas trees and in almost every room of the man- sion'. Mr. and Mrs. William Gooder, owners of the Gooder Antique Toy and Doll Museum, 1907 E. 5th Street, Duluth, Min- nesota, provided the largest part of the ex- hibit while the rest were taken from Glen- sheen's own collection. During self-guided tours, new and returning visitors had an excellent opportunity to study the toys as well as each room at their own pace. The appeal of toys to all age groups was evident in the increased visitor atten- dance this year.

  • Fifty Years After She First Hit Toy Shops, 'Sindy' Doll Seeks
    Strictly embargoed until 00.01hrs on Monday 2 July 2012 FIFTY YEARS AFTER SHE FIRST HIT TOY SHOPS, ‘SINDY’ DOLL SEEKS A LONG TERM PARTNER Global brand owners expected to show interest in iconic British doll Exeter, 2 July 2012 – After nearly 50 years, the British owner of the Sindy doll brand is looking for a long-term partner to help develop the core range of dolls. For generations of young girls Sindy has been a friend, confidante and cherished toy. The Sindy doll was launched in 1963, and for decades dominated the fashion doll market in Britain. Sindy has repeatedly been the best-selling toy, both in the UK and in overseas markets. Now, Sindy’s Exeter-based owner, Pedigree Toys, is to license or share equity in the iconic brand as part of a strategic shift towards its publishing and third party licensing businesses. Jerry Reynolds, CEO of Pedigree Group Ltd, commented: “Few brands have the emotive power and name recognition of Sindy. Millions of women in Britain grew up playing with her, and have fond memories of their days as ‘Sindy girls’. 1 “Over the years Sindy’s outfits have reflected changing fashions, and her hemlines rose and fell accordingly. But she has never lost her image as the demure girl next door – an enduring image that continues to appeal to young girls around the world. “The core of the Sindy brand remains the development and marketing of fashion dolls. As a business, Pedigree has moved away from toy manufacturing to focus on publishing and third party licensing.

Dissertation, Walden University EDRS PRICE MF-$0.75 HC-$6.60 PLUS POSTAGE DESCRIPTORS *Adult Education; *Course Content; Course Descriptions; *Doctoral Theses; Teacher Developed Materials; *Teaching Techniques IDENTIFIERS *Doll Collecting ABSTRACT The author has attempted to organize the many materials to be found on doll collecting into a course which will provide a foundation of know]edge for appreciating and evaluating old dolls. The course has been divided into sessions in which old dolls will be studied by type (images, idols, and early playthings; child, doll, and social realities; wooden dolls; wax dolls; papier mache and composition; china and parian; bisque dolls, cloth dolls; celluloid, metal, leather, and rubber dolls; and doll art in America) in basically the same chronological order in which they achieved popularity in the marketplace (1800-1925). The instructor is urged to employ a variety of teaching strategies in the presentation of the material. A mixture of lecture, slides, show and tell, and much student participation is encouraged. Handouts are provided whichcan be given to students at the end of each session. Brief annotated bibliographies appear at the end of each chapter,as well as a selected bibliography at the end of the course. Thecourse has been designed to introduce the beginning doll collector to the techniques employed in the manufacture of old dolls, to help the novice identify a doll of excellent artistic merit, and to acquaint the collector with some of the better known names in doll making.
