I'm sorry I am unable to post photographs of all of the fabulous accessories
that are currently being offered for Hitty
Hey! Why don't you have all of the Hitty dolls illustrated here?
Why have you left out one of my favorite Hitty artists?
Sorry, the time has run out for artists to submit photos of their Hitty dolls for the Modern Hitty Gallery. I've gotten a lot of criticism for not having photos of ALL of the modern Hitty dolls on my Hitty gallery. Sorry, that's NOT MY FAULT - the artists in question may NOT WANT TO PARTICIPATE in the Hitty photo gallery since I did NOT receive a photo nor permission to post their photo.
No, I did not extend a personal invitation to all of the doll artists. Instead, for years, I extended a general, OPEN INVITATION via each of my web pages, and via an ad in the FOH newsletter to all Hitty doll artists stating that they could submit a photo to me for FREE. Sorry, no one can complain now that their dolls are not illustrated here.
A10
"Little Lost Lotz Hitty"
|
PLEASE NOTE: My sweet White Ash Hitty #A10 is missing. She was lost in the mail. She
has not been found in the USPS "lost letter file". Please be on the
look out for her at doll sales, flea markets and garage sales. I'm hoping
that she survived this ordeal. I hope she is safe and sound - perhaps given
to a child who will love her.
Sincerely,
Jean D. Lotz
