Donating
NAME is seeking donations for the monthly online Estate Auction. If you are looking to downsize your collection or dispose of an item or more, please consider donating it to NAME. Donations of miniature furnishings, accessories, building materials, and tools are encouraged. NAME does not accept large dollhouses because they are difficult to store and move. For local inquiries, please contact the NAME N2 Region Coordinator, Barbara Thornton-Hill. If you are located outside of the N2 region, email Rhonda Keef.
Selling
