Collecting doll houses in New Brunswick, Canada | TimesTranscript.com

It's a small world | by VALERIE LEBLANC - Breaking News, New Brunswick, Canada

"Collecting since 1983, her interest in this hobby was launched during a family trip to Magnetic Hill. Visiting the gift shop, a display of miniature furniture captured her imagination. Later, during a trip to Bangor, Maine she remembered the display when looking for a gift to take back for her daughter.

'I saw this little crib in a window. There were no blankets on it, no doll, but the sides went up and down. I thought that it was really perfect!'"

Tonner Doll Company, Inc. Celebrates 20 Years in Business

Tonner Doll Company, Inc. Celebrates 20 Years in Business:

"Tonner’s long-time interest in collecting fashion dolls led him to try his hand at doll sculpting. In 1985, Tonner received a glowing review from an esteemed panel of judges at the National Institute of American Doll Artists Conference in NYC for a model-like fashion doll he had entered for critique. During the years that followed, Tonner turned more of his attention to developing and perfecting his doll designs, while still pursuing his career as a rising fashion designer. In 1991, he left the fashion industry to start the Robert Tonner Doll Company."
