Barb Weismiller loved dolls as a little girl and never quite let go of her passion for them. Seventeen years ago, she started collecting dolls in earnest, and now has more than 250 of them. Included in the collection is a 120 year-old corncob doll that belonged to Barb’s mother, and the single remaining doll from her own childhood.
Barb’s husband Lance has an equally impressive collection of toy cars.
Add to that a vast array of moving Christmas toys and you have a home overflowing with delight. Last weekend, Barb and Lance opened their home to the public to check out their collections, and are at it again this weekend.
As one young visitor said, “It is a really awesome house.”
Voluntary donations made to Barb and Lance will be passed on to the Bowen Island Paramedics.
