These cute dolls were introduced in 2002 and feature new and different face sculpts. They will be cherished by any child or doll enthusiast!

Ladie and Friends

Each doll from Ladie and Friends features the trademarks of “two dots for eyes.” These two dots allow the collectors to see themselves or someone they love in the doll, believes Barbara Wisber, co-owner of Ladie and Friends. Also unique to each doll is the “tale” that is included with each doll. The tales allow people into the world of Lizzie High, a place where things are simple and time stands still. Any of the Ladie and Friends dolls are a doll collector’s dream and would make a great addition to any collection!

Neva Dolls

All Neva Dolls (ToyDirectory) are handcrafted by master artisans in St. Petersburg, Russia. These artisans use old world doll crafting techniques that have been passed through generations. Neva Dolls are inspired by tales of gallantry, magic and betrayal. The Bella Russe Collection is the exclusive new line of porcelain dolls. These dolls will be produced in limited editions of 100 and up. The first of these dolls, Snegurochka, the Snowmaiden is inspired by the Russian fairy tale about a lonely, childless couple who create a lovely daughter from the snow. Not only are these dolls beautiful, but they also support a wonderful cause. As of November 1, 2003, a percentage of all proceeds from the sales of Neva Dolls have gone to the Tomachevo Children’s Orphanage of Luga, which is located in the St. Petersburg region of Russia.
