Hello everyone! My name is Melissa and I love dolls! 

My first collectible doll was a Barbie Happy Holidays doll. I also collected many of the Ashton Drake baby dolls back in the 80's and 90's. I sold most of those dolls but continued collecting Barbies. I have a small collection but I love them all! I also have a few Marie Osmond dolls. I have an 8yr old daughter who never has liked dolls and I have purchased probably 50+ Bratz Jade (my daughter is from China) for her but she never cared for them so they are mine now! I actually really like the Bratz dolls even though they aren't for adult collectors, I find them fun to look at.

I'm wanting to branch out to other brands like Integrity Toys and Gene and possibly some other brands as well. I'm a novice collector so I'm looking forward to learning from you all. 

Thank you for your warm welcome to the community!
