Inspired by Alice Catalog

Jubilee Catalog

Farewell Collection Catalog

Decades Of Dolls - Catalog of Past Himstedt Editions


Inspired by Alice Catalog
Once upon a time, Lewis Carroll penned a story with such wit, such whimsy and such wonder that it redefined children's literature. Over 145 years later, modern artists continue to be inspired by this little girl's adventures in a bizarre and peculiar land, bringing their own interpretation to these famous characters. The Toy Shoppe has gathered many of these editions here, a unique assortment of artistry and vision, all inspired by Alice. We are excited to present the new Alice collection by artist Nancy Wiley who used her creations to photo-illustrate her new book! In this catalog you will discover porcelain dolls by Hildegard Gunzel as well as Lynne & Michael Roche, felt dolls Maggie Iacono and R. John Wright, BJDs (both anthros and dolls) by Pipos, an Alice crafted from Canadian maple wood by artist Marlene Xenis and Alice-themed dolls by Madame Alexander and Nancy Ann Storybook. Renowned artist Kat Sato has created a phenominal edition of Alice, both touching and endearing. Mark Dennis has sculpted several one-of-a-kind Alice editions capturing the movement of life in his polymer clay work. Alice's Adventures in Wonderland have inspired many animal characters as well. This catalog presents Mikki Klug's delightful felties, an odd and lovable flamingo by Art Rogers, plus new and interesting needlefelted characters by Irene Heckel. Wax over porcelain artist Lucia Friedericy drew on her Alice inspiration to create her one-of-a-kind masterpieces. Some of the world's most renowned doll and bear artists inspired by one of our favorite classic children's stories... this is an exceptional catalog you won't want to miss!

Farewell Collection A Catalog Annette's Final Collection
Annette began work on these dolls long before she announced the closing of her manufactory, but she never expected to be able to complete them. With extraordinary effort, Annette managed to complete the collection in a limited form. They are a shining example of Annette's extraordinary magic with dolls and epitomize the culmination of a spectacular artistic journey. The Toy Shoppe is proud to offer them exclusively to our collectors.

Decades Of Dolls A Catalog Of Past Annette Himstedt Treasures
It is hard to believe that Annette Himstedt achieved so much in only three decades. She placed her mark upon the world by blazing new trails in contemporary doll making. In this catalog you'll discover dolls that haven't been in production for years. Many, such as Paula, are cherished by collectors and hold a special place in Annette's heart. She kept some of her favorite creations displayed in her personal studio until the manufactory closed. Annette collaborated closely with Barrie and Danny of The Toy Shoppe to ensure the appropriate ending of this chapter in her career and has made these treasures exclusively available for our doll collectors. A truly rare and wonderful opportunity!
