Duck House Heirloom Dolls, and now Golden Keepsakes Collectible Dolls, are relatively new to the doll scene, but they are certainly grabbing the admiring attention of both collectors and children at play. Duck House was founded in Los Angeles, California in 1981 with the distinct intent to create quality porcelain dolls for the collector on a budget. Now operating under the name Golden Keepsakes Collectible Dolls, this limited edition doll maker maintains one of the most diverse product lines available. Product lines include collectible porcelain dolls, country dolls, bridal dolls, ballerina dolls, tassel dolls, fairy and mermaid dolls (my personal favorite!), vinyl dolls, polyresin dolls, jewelry holders, doll furniture and doll lamps.
To make your Duck House or Golden Keepsakes doll a true heirloom, follow the following care tips:
Keep doll out of direct sunlight
Clean doll with a soft cloth
Clean facial features with clean soft-bristle paintbrush
Remove smudges with a soft cloth dampened with water
Dry doll with a soft cloth
Groom hair with a soft brush or finger
Never shampoo doll's hair
All Duck House Heirloom Dolls and Golden Keepsakes Collecible Dolls come with a certificate of authenticity.
Find these whimsically pretty dolls at Duck House, your local doll retailer, online dealers, and eBay. I found my mermaid doll, Mireille, at Bayside Antiques in Havre de Grace, Maryland.
The Castle Bed and Breakfast in Mt. Savage, Maryland even boasts of the Duck House Heirloom Doll collection in Josephine's room!
