Help! I've inherited "stuff" that I don't know what to do with

Two years ago, my mother passed away, and I am just now ready to dispose of all of her doll making supplies. I have no idea how to even start. I am in Alaska, and her things are in storage on the Oregon coast. I will go down there when I have an idea what I am going to do to get her things to someone that can use them. I know that she has a few molds, some porcelain powder, paints, brushes, books, doll parts and there was even some dolls in greenware. There are some dolls that are in various stages of progress. Any of her finished work has been sold or given to her grandchildren. If anyone can give me an idea of how to start on this project, I would sure be grateful for the information. By the time that my mother passed, the people that she worked with and took classes with had all moved away so I haven't any connections to those people , which would have been the logical place to start. Thank you Kkimberley

I would pick up a Doll magazine - there are several. You may find an advertisement from a firm close by. That's how I located a place that makes, teaches about, and fixes porcelain dolls. Even if it's a distant source, you could call and ask how best to handle this. They might have just the answer you're looking for. I'd call several.

Best of luck to you. I'm sorry to hear you lost your mother.

Any doll hospitals near you? Or go to a local craft show and offer the stuff to a doll seller?

ebay. Take pictures, describe what you can and sell it in a lot. Good luck with things.
