We have a selection of Christmas
delights in this issue, including Audrey Robinson’s ‘Brightening Up the Gloom’ showing
how her dolls celebrated last Christmas, Anne McAndrew’s look at Christmas Eve
bedtime and Elizabeth’s Short’s Christmas memories. I find some small dolls
which would fill a Christmas stocking – or sock – quite cosily, and also
explore the world of Christmas antique dolls. And naturally, my diary on the
final page reflects the usual Christmas madness.
A few weeks ago, Jenna and I were
invited to visit a collection of exquisite dolls which had been shown on the
Antiques Roadshow. These dolls had all been hand-made and hand-dressed in the
1950s, and wore the national costumes of many countries across Europe. As a
bonus the dolls were accompanied by plenty of ephemera such as scrapbooks,
notebooks, press cuttings and cards, and you can read all about the visit and
see the glorious dolls in the article Roadshow Trail in this issue.
