Definitions and other philosophical considerations |

I have been collecting Regional Dolls since I was 12, that is ... 23 years ago. The usual question when I mention my hobby is: what do you mean by "Regional dolls". Good question! I have found as many definitions and namings as you may think of, depending on the book or the collector. They may be called Ethnic Dolls, Costume Dolls, Folk Dolls..etc.. I can only give you my own criteria to get what I consider a 'good doll' for my collection:
I will not list all the interesting aspects of that collection (learning geography, preserving traditions and bla-blabla). Ask any stamp collector around you. There is no explanation, it is just a passion that has never faded ever since I started. And this site is only an exposure of some pieces of my collection, because one is always eager to show it off! Hope you will enjoy the pictures.
