Antique Doll & Toy Market
Aug 16
With the show flyer touting, “We’re looking for a new mama! If you see her, tell her to come to the Antique Doll & Toy Market,” I am doing my due diligence to help these antique dolls find loving homes. The Lynnwood Embassy Suites’ showroom will fill with approximately 50 vendors peddling antique dolls, teddy bears, toys, miniatures, and books. I myself am a proud mother of three beautiful daughters: a 2001 Takara Blythe doll, a Hasbro 1965 Little Miss No-Name doll, and a 1966 Hasbro Pateena Poodle doll, and this annual market (now on its 47th year) is the perfect place to buy my girls something nice.
