Ashley Sero- Dolls
"Ashley Spero grew up in a doll house. Literally, surrounded by the vast number her mother Patty had collected over several years. As Ashley, and her love for the collection grew, she wanted to start one of her own. She decided to begin with Skipper, Barbie’s younger sister. More than two decades later, Ashely has a wide-ranging doll collection numbering in the hundreds, and she walks Lisa through it all. As she expanded the scope of her prized possessions, Ashley decided to share her passion for and knowledge of doll collecting with others, launching her own YouTube channel, Confessions of a Doll Collector’s Daughter, which has attracted scores of avid fellow collectors. Ashley takes personal property appraiser and fellow doll aficionado Kate Martin through some of her more unique items, including extremely rare Japanese Skipper dolls. Kate appraises Ashley’s collection, before offering a tempting trade, a beautifully preserved iconic figure from Switzerland for one of Ashley’s long treasured, and with good reason, staple items. Throughout the episode Ashley illuminates the stories behind some of the doll world’s biggest stunners."
