4 Michael, with his impeccably white jumper, fastened with tiny pink elephant buttons, sits on a cushion next to his sister, Michelle. The porcelain dolls have a fixed smile on their rosy-cheeked faces as they patiently wait for a doll collector to take them home. 1 -s i But until then, their current owner, Nelda Pawelek, coos and talks to the twins, just as. she does the other replicas of babies and scaled-down sculptures of adult life that fill her stores shelves. 1 Pawelek called out some of their names as she looked, across the large room at the front of her home recently: Darcey, Katy, Louise, Diana, Harriet, Patsy, Mindy, Candi, Daisy and Pumpkin.

Each doll bears -a name and no two have the same. However, they do share some thing in common: All are either discontinued models or limited-edition dolls. Vlasta, an 18-inch-tall porcelain doll with blushed cheeks and a petticoat, is one of only 50 made by designer Pat Thompson, said Pawelek, who collects the dolls for her store. The Doll House. Consequent-' ly, the dolls value is unique: $1,200.

Value aside, Paweleks favorites are Annette Hempsteads Barefoot Children, replicas of children with whom the designer is ac-' qua in ted. Human hair is used for the dolls coiffures and eyelashes. Eyes seem full of curiosity and toes and fingers are carefully sculpted. You find yourself talking to them like they're kids, Pawelek said. The 5-year-old mother of three sons is not without parenting experience, but dolls were not a major part of the childhood she shared with six brothers and one sister, who is 11 years younger.

It wasn't something that I deliberately planned or wanted to da It just kept growing, she said. In her six. years as a collector and vendor, though, Pawelek has become keenly aware that her choices must be well-studied, a task that makes doll collecting a full-time job.
