I have this porcelain doll that I would like to sell, but I can't find any information about it on the internet, so I have no idea what it's worth. I'm hoping someone here can help. It has a music box and plays "Catch a Falling Star." I can't quite read the signature. Any help would be appreciated!

Dollreference.com is a good place to start.
I am pretty certain that what you have here is a Joanie Welden Lucky STars series dolls.
I couldnt find out a lot about the manufacturer, but it seems to be associated with a Florida doll/decorations wholeseller, so I assume it is just part of a doll line they came out with one year.
Here are some:

It looked like on ebay this doll was fetching $89.
This is one of the rarer dolls in the Weldon Museum of Dolls but the doll listed on eBay is the "asking" price and the seller has been trying to sell this doll for several months and even offered it at a lower price last month - and the doll did not sell. The seller may be lucky this time and find the one person who really wants this doll and is willing to pay the money they are asking.
What I'm saying is the doll market is slow, even for this nice of a doll. It is quite a bit of trouble to list an item on eBay (or any other site) and how long it will take to sell or for how much money - is any body's guess.
I believe that dolls sell faster on eBay or Etsy so maybe you could think about these sites - just be sure you are not in a hurry to get your money - also think about how to ship a doll - a lot of trouble and quite expensive.
The following site shows Weldon dolls listed on eBay and the asking prices:

You could try a local shop that specializes in dolls of this type and they may give you an idea of what your doll is worth, but most likely, the amount will be very low.
