Cassandra and her new doll "Pinky"
Decisions, decisions, Moi and Cassandra trying to decide which doll goes back to South Carolina with her!
I just had the beautiful opportunity to meet one of my esteemed doll collectors Cassandra Rush of the African American Doll Museum in Columbia, South Carolina. She and I have been corresponding for nearly a year to get one of my dolls into her collection. After much e-mail traffic and some hits and misses, we finally caught up in Washington, DC yesterday evening and had a lovely time.
I showed her four of my dolls and she loved them all! Finally after much debate, she settled on "Pinky" one of my healer dolls. Turns out Cassandra is not only a doll collector, but she is curator and author. In addition, outside of collecting dolls, she is an avid African American art collector. We talked about our love our art and what motivates her to collect dolls. Cassandra states "I pick dolls based upon how they make me feel."
She is a wonderful lady who has a vision and a passion for collecting. I feel very honored to know her.

Sherry, I must say, it was an awesome opportunity to meet YOU!!! I, too, thoroughly enjoyed meeting and chatting with you as I always sooooo..... admire the very talented doll artists, like you.
'Pinky' said to tell you that she misses you but loves her new home and new doll friends; she fits right in! Keep up the good work and I pray we have other opportunities in the future to meet again.
