I'll put more details about that in a follow-up post.<br /><br />As for your more than generous offer to house some East Philadelphians - at first, I laughed out loud. Who amongst them would leave East Philly willingly? Then again, you never know ;-D I'll keep your most gracious offer - heh heh - in mind.D7anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15497306465109590188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5580986768097342172.post-57360823191117898012009-04-28T16:01:00.000-04:002009-04-28T16:01:00.000-04:00I can share my solutions to the fig storage proble...I can share my solutions to the fig storage problem.<br /><br />I have a bunch of dolls that I want to keep out and easily accessible. They are the cast of LHF. I have some on a display shelf over my desk, some on a bookcase and my very favorites on my desk. Yes, they do collect dust. However, if I really want to remove the dust, I can use some compressed air [at computer supply stores], wipe them carefully with a damp cloth [a chamois cloth for cleaning glasses is good], or just blow on them.<br /><br />I keep some dolls in a set of plastic drawers. They've been through the usual changes in humidity and temperature that Boston life entails. And they haven't had any problems. <br /><br />When moving, I packed my dolls in shoe boxes, which are just big enough for 1:6ers with some room for padding left over. I wrapped them in bubble wrap or tissue paper for more protection. I usually placed 2 or 3 layers of dolls in each box, unless they were particularly fragile or important, in which case they got their own boxes.<br /><br />Also, I know that extra dolls can be such a horrible burden on your limited amount of space, so I know it's not much, but I can always help you create more space in your house by taking any extra dolls off your hands. It's a dirty job, but someone has to take one for the team!ModernWizardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08561108162215536146noreply@blogger.com
