H'lo all! First off I am thoroughly looking forward to perusing all the delightful doll photos everyone posts and getting more familiar with everyone here 
.
I also have a confession-- I really do not collect porcelain dolls! I think their fragility scares me
! Particularly because there are 4 cats in-house that love to wander wherever their furry little heads take them and these cats have tended to cause havok whilst roaming amongst my things already-- a porcelain doll would not survive a fall to the floor. Having made my confession however, I do have a few porcelain dolls. Mostly they are miniatures. For example I have a beautiful little doll by an Etsy seller, 'Beckie's Babies', that is only and inch and a quarter big! She is really lovely as are the rest of my tiniest porcelains. Yet, having made my confession I have to add I still love the modern porcelains being created by so many talented artists today! So much so that I think I need to invest in a glass walled cabinet so I can keep any dolls I may adopt that are made of porcelain-- specifically one of my newest doll additions from Leah Mclellen would need to dwell there (I linked to her forum doll thread). I had a custom elf made and I have to say I love her! Currently this is the only 'larger' porcelain doll in my collection. Honestly, if I wasn't concerned about the cats' roaming I would probably have more!
Anyhow, nice to meet everyone!
