World Doll Day Spotlight: The Broken Doll


This is a lovely story which I am reblogging from Confessions of a Doll Collectors Daughter. Today is, or will be if you are in another part of the world from me, World Doll Day. If you have dolls that have seen better days and are in need of a new home I’d encourage you to consider “The Broken Doll”.

Have you heard of The Broken Doll? The Broken Doll provides dolls to children in need in both the US and abroad.  It draws itself apart from other donation groups because The Broken Doll doesn’t just accept new or like new toys.  The Broken Doll takes the time to fix up dolls that are less than perfect, giving these kids a truly unique new friend to treasure.

As you know, today, 6/13/2015, is World Doll Day! (Okay, this post is a little early, but I’m sure for some of you, it is the 13th by now, so it counts!) It’s a day to celebrate and share the hobby with others.  In honor of World Doll Day, I asked The Broken Doll a few questions about what they do.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband, David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.
