Do you have photos of a crossroads doll? If so please, send them to us via email along with the story behind them and we will post them here, credit given, of course.

 

If you have a doll you no longer want, you may send it to us as well. Simply wrap it in a white cloth and package it carefully along with some background information and we will  add it our growing collection. Email us for details.
