I have always loved small dolls. I think that their size is charming. They are easier to display and store than larger dolls. Because they can share possessions with Barbie, their accessories are easy to find. I seldom need to buy fabric for them, because their clothes can be made from fabric scraps.
These little dolls also make wonderful dolls for popular eighteen inch dolls such as American Girl Dolls. The small dolls can add another level of creativity to doll play.
Here is my new Springfield doll with Florabunda, Twinkle, and Tender Heart.
