   We try to post stories and comments from our readers each week.  Send your   
   story to newsletter@tias.com and we'll publish it in an upcoming newsletter.   
      
   Please share your story about what you collect and what got you started   
   collecting.  We *love* to hear your stories!   
      
   If you have a story you'd like to share, tell us about it and if you have any   
   photos, we'd love to see them!  Send us an email to newsletter@tias.com so we   
   can share your story with the rest of our readers.

   Also, everyday, we post a "This Date In History" story on our Facebook page,   
   along with an item for sale on http://www.tias.com that relates to the event.

   interesting - something that's very unusual!  Check it out!

   A reader sent in these images of a doll she found, and wondered if anyone has   
   any information or history about it.  Here are the details:   
      
   Hello Tias.com (Sue).   
      
   I found this doll at my local swap meet. It was sweet and in sad shape, so I   
   bought it.   
      
   She looks to be stuffed with straw or something. Photo attached.  I searched   
   the web regarding the markings on the back.  No luck.   
      
   Your thoughts on this doll will be greatly appreciated.   
      
   Thank you.
