Dolls exhibited at the Annual UFDC Convention, Chicago, 2010
Our travels took a fun twist when we veered off the highway on our way to a family reunion in Wisconsin to stop by the floor show of the Chicago UFDC convention. We met doll book authors, artists and collectors. We were in awe, and Darrell snapped a few photos of some of the charming exhibits.
The highest selling doll at the convention, a pristine A. Marque, priced in the $200,000 neighborhood
