Himstedt Heaven

My visit at Kay Poppenatelier in the Netherlands

My boyfriend recently moved to Holland to study for 5 months and when I went to visit him I also visited Helma at Kay Poppenatelier. What a great store. It was like being in dollie heaven. Helma has so many dolls and she's delightful to talk to. We had a great talk about Himstedt dolls and she showed me her pictures from the Toy Fair in Nuremburg. I took some pictures of her store but since I don't have a memory card yet for my digital camera (I keep using the money on dolls) I couldn't take pictures of all the dolls and the quality is not the greatest. The pictures below are thumbnails. Just click on them to see the larger images. I hope you'll enjoy Helma's wonderful store as much as I did.

	Minchen; what a lovely doll.
	Here's another Minchen ready for winter.
	Charming Luise. I like her so much better now that I have seen her for real.
	Baby Lieschen in her little pram.
	The club babies. They're so big and adorable.
	Lisi and Natalie; the perfect sisters.
	Another great sister pair; Vicki and Maxi.
	Princess Moonstar; what a stunning doll.
	Another stunning doll; Cinderella
	Elsa is ready to party.
	Little Trudi and big Melvin.
	Moni, Alma, and Elsa. Alma is really something special.
	Miri, Max and little Lisi.
	This picture is too dark but you can still see Lisi with her umbrella that's just perfect for her.
	Two Asian beauties; Wei Minzhi and Li Fan Fan.
	Tilly and Miki. I think Tilly is so much sweeter in person than any pictures show and Miki is just gorgegous too.
	Bonni, Timo, and Maxi all redressed. Look at Bonni's cute new hair style.
	Miri all dressed up, Aschenputtel, and Deta.
	The 2004 miniatures in front. Look at those teeny weeny braids.
	Porcelian Masterpieces Mariechen, Klara, and Hedi, with a few winzlinge in front.
	Morgana, Amber, Mia Yin, Oscar, Skille, and Tinka, with Keri, Dorle, and Trudi in front.
	Freeke with her baby Bibi, Kima, Toni, Kuki, Siri, with Adrienne, Timi, and Fiene in front.
	This picture didn't turn out so good. Moni, Bette, Wei Minzhi, Becki, and little Polly in front.
