Monarch Collectibles

Description:

• Welcome to doll heaven. Many of the models that fill Monarch's four rooms -- about 3,000 dolls in all -- are collectible and made from such delicate materials as porcelain and baked clay, but others are cute and cuddly. Some come with real hair and eyelashes, and some are one of a kind. Doll furniture is also sold here -- with a 6,000-square-foot dollhouse to showcase it -- along with plates and a few stuffed animals. An entire room is devoted to Barbies. (Maybe the other dolls don't want to play with them?)
