A few years ago I read that a planganologist is the name given to a person who collects dolls, and that it comes from the Greek word "plangon" meaning doll. I have never heard of this term since so I have looked it up on Google, and sure enough it says that a Planganologist is a collector of dolls, but it does not mention "plangon" being the Greek word for doll. So now you know (if you didn't already know before!) I like to know these things!
Here I am listing dolls from UKRAINE, NETHERLANDS, ALGERIA and LEBANON.
For more pictures and information, please see the website. Thank you. Carole.

Thank you for the comment on my blog. It is the most wonderful miniature dolls - they must take such a long time to make; all those tiny details. Amazing!!
Thank you! I enjoy making the dioramas.
