It was reborn baby dolls that put me over the edge. I had four which I bid on on Ebay and I would set a budget for myself, but would never stay within it. I just couldn't stand to lose the bid. It got crazy. I had this white wicker tea caddy and I made it up into a double decker crib to display the baby dolls. I also used to display other dolls in my china cabinet instead of dishes. But when I moved, I decided to leave most of the dolls out of my new decor.

I remember when someone remade a Barbie doll into Stevie. I would have loved to own that one. The doll sold on Ebay for a high price as I recall. I would have thought that would be an incentive for the maker to create more of them, but she didn't.
