the shop from outside
Hello,
    ...welcome
to my little shop!

inside the shopCome in and have a look: fancy German dolls with character heads are standing next to elegantly dressed French ladies. Kathe Kruse dolls are waiting for a new Mother who will take them enthusiastically into her arms or will place them tenderly in her showcase. Artist dolls are sitting around in little groups, wearing an air of mystery. Charming teddybears tumble off farmer's carts or play hide and seek in the doll's wardrobes. In the shop window the dolls are having wash-day. The wash-tub is standing on the lawn, and the dresses are flapping on the line. The smaller children are playing with marbles, the older ones are crowding at the ice-cream stand to get a cool refreshment. Only the baby in the pram doesn't pay attention; it is peacefully sleeping.

At close inspection, my shop is rather small. However, many visitors can stay hours and hours in my little "paradise", trying to discover every piece of the scenery. What is there to discover in detail? For example:

* skillfully made reproductions of fine biscuit porcelain dolls
* artist dolls made from porcelain by Wiltrud Stein, Ute Kase-Lepp etc., offered in limited editions
* artist dolls made from vinyl: dolls of the Waltershäuser Puppen-Manufaktur (WPM), designed by Hildegard Günzel or Vera Scholz; or dolls by Heidi Ott
* the famous dolls of Käthe Kruse
* the inexpensive Kim dolls
* Lenci dolls
* teddy bears made by the Dean's Company, the well-known British manufacturer
* doll's prams, doll's cradles, doll's beds, doll's sleighs
* doll's furniture, doll's wardrobes, doll's chairs
