Scenes from a Paper Doll Party

Jayne Keller's annual paper doll luncheon yesterday in Morgantown, Pa., was great fun: a chance to catch up with friends, make new ones and buy paper dolls, of course. Many dealers and collectors in attendance will also be at the Philadelphia convention in August.

  1. Thanks for the post, Linda. I was really intrigued with Patti Fertel's work. Although I've known her for over 10 years, she's not exhibited a lot at our conventions during that period.

    I really liked Jayne Keller's paper doll, too. She's another one who rarely exhibits her art at conventions, although she comes frequently.
