Other People’s Collections – Birmingham Dolls

I bought a new phone recently and before I did I saved the photos my Birmingham niece had shared with me by text over the last year. I saved them to my Sim card thinking that it would get transferred to my new phone but that didn’t happen so I am using my old phone to write this post on her doll collections and save the photos here before my old phone’s charging port is completely shot.

My Birmingham niece’s latest doll collection is of Motanka dolls from Ukraine. She started collecting them when Russia invaded Ukraine as a way to do something by supporting Ukranian artists.

On Indigenous People’s Day last year she shared this display.

And for Black History month:

She also has an Amish doll collection:

And one of Matryoshka dolls:

And here’s a small glimpse of some of her Frida Kahlo dolls:

I know this is just a small portion of her ever growing collection – the last time she went to Santa Fe she texted me that she was leaving with 13 dolls in her suitcase!
