And on Saturday we have special guests! They are amazing twins made by David Chapman & Paul Robinson (The Old Pretenders) for my friend Elena. Their touching story was spread around all Russian doll internet! Every our visitor in this day wished to hold them in hands.

The main part of Doll Show was dedicated to art dolls, but I found two corners with antique ones!

Here're boudoir doll of 1920s.

And some showcases with automatons from private collection of David Jacobashvili. As for me, I don't interested in automatons...
