The Internet sure is wonderful for small businesses like Joelle's Dolls. I just sold a doll to a customer in Australia. That could have never happened 10-15 years ago.
I've also sold dolls to customers I've never met in South Korea, Spain, France, England, Canada and all across the United States. 
I don't know whether I owe my thanks to Al Gore or somebody else, but to whomever invented the Internet, mucho gracias. 

I've made a handful of African American dolls in the past month. There's black ballerina dolls, black  dress-up dolls, and one beautiful doll that I really love but am having trouble labeling. I just call her Pretty African American Doll. I always try to have a mix of white, black and Asian dolls available. The race of the dolls usually doesn't seem to matter to the children who come into my tent at craft shows. But it frequently seems to be important to the adults who are shopping with them. It's a funny world. The handmade dolls I make all get along no matter what color they are.
