EEEEE, i love doll collecting!! i don't personally do it as i don't really have the means to at the moment, sadly. as a kid tho, i was an A grade toy and doll collector. also, quilting is such a nice hobby, i hope you get back into the swing of it : ) quilts are always very beautiful.
I always wanted to live in Japan when I was younger, I'm glad it's finding you well!!
