Join Us In Commentorating the ONE Year Anniversary of the Royal Couple!

Just 1 year ago on April 29, 2011, Catherine Middleton became 'Her Royal Highness, The Duchess of Cambridge'. Kate's wedding dress was a desirable iconic piece of Royal Fairy Tale history; and to complete her ensemble we have again captured the beauty of royalty with this classically simplistic collection of dresses worn by Kate, during the Royal wedding reception and the infamous North American tour!

Paradise Galleries Collector Interview - Cici Vang

At Paradise Galleries we love our doll collectors and want to showcase some of their amazing collections! Our first Paradise Galleries collector interview was conducted with Cici Vang.  
 
Cici's Doll Story!
Cici's love for dolls started during her childhood, as she comes from a family of 12 children. Her parents worked hard on a farm and they provided for the children with only necessities in mind, just enough for all the children to get by, they couldn’t really afford anything extra.
 
"As a young girl, with an avid imagination I used to dream about my own secret doll house. I would imagine dolls of every shape and size lining up on the shelves, one after another like books in a library. And because I was so fascinated with books too, my reality of owning any dolls at that age was by means only through my imagination and through the books I read", says Cici. 

Cici has been collecting dolls since her late teens and over the years her love and joy for dolls became her passion. Ever since she found Paradise Galleries she has and saw our Tall Dreams Ensemble doll she fell in love!

"Tall Dreams was my very first Paradise Galleries doll purchase and I have not been disappointed since. Her features are realistic with the detailed facial expression, a weighted body, and the soft gentle touch vinyl skin; she was of such great quality, I wanted more of these adorable babies to add to my collection" says Cici.

Cici has bought several more dolls from Paradise Galleries since Tall Dreams including: Happy Teddy, Nischi, I Heart Bai Yun, Baby Cuddlebug, Baby Bunting Bee, and Bee My Honey Bear and they have all made her just as happy.

"I collect dolls not for the money value, but for the joy they bring into my life. The smiles they bring both children as well as adults are priceless" says Cici.

 Cici is a devoted doll lover of Paradise Galleries dolls. And enjoyed sharing her collection of Paradise Galleries' dolls with all of you and looks forward to sharing many more in the future!

Thank you for the great interview Cici! Keep enjoying Paradise Galleries : )

In Memory of Angela Dixon

Angela Dixon a passionate collector and great fan of Marie Osmond's dolls passed away last Thursday. She will be dearly missed by her family and ours.

 A few words from some of Angela's doll friends  

Lisa Khederian, Amy Rebok, Pam Carroll & Cheryl Geller

'Angela was such a sweet & kind hearted girl. She always had a beautiful & positive outlook on life. Just like her motto, Live, Laugh, Love. She would send doll friends a message to lift there spirits when needed and make us all laugh when we would talk about our funny day to day adventures & stories. Our favorite day & memory was when Angela & her Mom, Sandee, finally got to meet Marie for the first time at QVC this past August.  Marie had a very long day & took the time after to sign our dolls, books & take photos with us. Marie signed Angela's Pie Jesu doll & the Hydie doll by Beverly Stoehr that she bought her Mom for Mothers Day. We could all see the sparkle in Angela's sweet eyes after she finally got to meet Marie that day. I am so happy that we all shared that beautiful day together & we will cherish it forever. She was a true Angel & she is now with God & his Angels in heaven. We all will miss her so much.'

Sandee and her family will be in our prayers. We have sent along a Marie doll to Sandee as a gift in memory of her daughter. Keep a look out for your doll, Sandee!

April Showers Bring May Flowers.
