Emily Gibbons has been collecting dolls for 15 years, amassing about 200 of them in her small apartment.
They've brought her a lot of joy, at times reminding the 73-year-old woman what it's like to hold a baby in her arms again. Most recently, though, they've gotten her in trouble with the Greenwich Housing Authority.
Housing officials said the doll collection cluttered the public housing apartment and is a fire hazard. Housing Authority threatened to evict her if she didn't clear the clutter.
Most of the dolls have had to go. Gibbons packed away all but about 20 and is temporarily storing the rest at her daughter's home.
