I continue to find more and more interesting stories and history related to doll art, and in this video I share a recent discovery of mine when looking up information about my niece’s My Twinn doll she received as a gift 19 years ago.
Welcome to the Crafty Princess Diaries, my weblog and site where I get to blab about my passion for crafts, primarily jewelry making, and my crafting career. My name is Tammy Powley, and I decided to call my blog the Crafty Princess Diaries because of this very dorky picture I have of myself and because my husband often refers to me as “the princess and the pea,” which is just another way to say that I tend to be particular sometimes.
Along with this weblog, I have a number of jewelry making books published.
It’s a sad example of what has happened in the US as far as manufacturing is concerned. It is cheaper for them to produce products outside the US, but then that literally means “cheaper,” as in a lower quality product. Even 19 years ago, this doll was pretty expensive, but the quality and craftsmanship are outstanding.

That’s a pretty awesome doll. Too bad the company didn’t stick with its original vision 🙁
