The Doll Blogs: Sankofa Studio Doll Pin Featured in New Book




Ms. Debbie Behan Garrett has a new book out about black dolls and her love for them. The new electronic book, The Doll Blogs When Dolls Speak I Listen is her third doll publication. In this book, dolls, both old and new, blog their experiences over a two-year period.

One of my doll pins is featured in this unique electronic book!

If you love dolls, possess a vivid imagination, and enjoy combining the two, you will derive great pleasure reading The Doll Blogs. Ms. Garrett takes the reader on an imaginative voyage in doll-collecting world where she meets and greets new dolls, reacquaints herself with old ones, and continues the passion for all as a doll whisperer, allowing the dolls to speak through her. This first book devoted to dolls that speak in blog form is masterfully engaging, a sure delight.

THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME: January 7th Reception

















Greetings all! It has been some time since I posted. The wintry weather, power outages, etc., really had me going this January. However, before the month is over, I wanted to share with you the photos from the January 7th reception of the art exhibit "The Shape of Things to Come" at the Sandy Spring Museum running through March 27th.

I was happy that I sold one of my dolls "Full Bloom" during the opening reception to the Chair of the Board of Museum. In addition the event got coverage in the Montgomery County Gazette on January 26th.

I have some small dolls, pins and doll cards on sale at the Sandy Spring Museum in celebration of the exhibit. Stop by the museum gift shop.

There is talk that we may take the exhibit on the road. I certainly hope so. It has been a true honor to show my dolls at this wonderful exhibit. Do plan to make a trip out to Sandy Spring Maryland to experience it.
