The two in the center are thrift store finds. The tall one on the left is from a "junk" antique store (and I say that fondly!) and it's really a set of three nesting dolls. The big fella on the right was a gift from my friend Nina when she recently visited Japan. He is new, as opposed to the vintage ones, and a bit bigger. I think the four of them might a lovely team and I hope to find more in my travels.
Nina also brought me other fun goodies from her trip like little silk squares and those adorable tiny erasers! It was like Christmas. :)
If you really want to see some amazing collections visit Laurie at Magpie Ethel. She does a a collection challenge each week and you can see them all here. Prepare to be amazed! Maybe we can convince Laurie to host a collection blog party where everyone can post their collections for sharing.

I collect kokeshi! I have a few antique ones from my uncle (in Japan) and several new ones I picked up on my last 2 trips there. They're all very different but I love them all. You're lucky to have found yours while thrifting.
Thanks for the mention and will thing about doing a blog party - GOOD IDEA! I do like my collections...but no kokeshi dolls.
