Because there are no doll shows with the pandemic going on, it is hard to find any of what people have said in the above comments. However, the older you are, the more stuff you have. I am older and have a lot of stuff. However, I miss buying more. Most of the sewing places in my area have closed. The one store that is left has little of what I am interested in.
