VTG PAPER DOLLS 1997 BRIDAL SHOP HANDMADE by MICHELE THORP 11 WEDDING GOWNS!!!!

Description

"Bridal Salon" is a very rare and limited set, handmade and signed by artist Michele Thorp.  This is #2 of 20 made in the second printing.  This was likely sold from Thorp's home sales business.  The dolls are 8" tall from top to the base of the pedestal that they stand on.  There are stands attached to them.  There are 11 stunning wedding gowns for the dolls to model.  One of them has a back view showing the backs of her gowns.  The other doll has one gown to slide her into, showing back and front of it.  There is a 12th gown, cut out and attached to the mannequin inside the shop.  Folded, the bridal salon measures 9.75" x 7.5".  The condition is excellent.  The entire set was the original art, cut and assembled by the artist.  What a wonderful gift idea for a paper doll collecting bride!!! This is a beautiful and very rare set of paper dolls that could easily become an heirloom.
I've bought my huge collection from estate sales,  from other collectors and here on eBay.  I don't know the previous storage history.  My collection is stored in a smoke/pet free area in my home, with a dehumidifier running 24/7.  People smoked back then, I have a poor sense of smell at my age and I don't know if that lingers.  I try to list all flaws with the paper dolls that I sell.
I only ship to the USA.  I usually take orders to the post office on Tuesday and Friday mornings by 10 AM eastern time.
