ReplyDeleteIn late 1980's I bought some cherub angel ornaments in old town Sacramento. They look like they are made of similar material and wonderful detail...wondering if any chance they were made by Katherine?
ReplyDeleteI have a man and a women Wayne Kleski dolls. They are dressed for Christmas. I won these at an auction and don’t know much about them. But they do frighten the dog. Could you tell me if these are collectible?

ReplyDeleteI have a life size Wayne Kleski rabbit doll in my possession that I want to sell. I have had it over 25 years - safely packed away in a large Rubbermaid tub. She is in excellent condition. I wondered if someone in your company might want to purchase it from me for a reasonable price plus shipping? I am located in middle Georgia. USA.
