Blue Monday has rolled around again over at Smiling Sally!
Come on over and bring your BLUES with you!
I've been unpacking some of my childhood dolls that have been confined to a trunk,
since we moved three years ago.
This fancy lady has a wax head and lovely handmade clothes.
but the blue has faded over time.
And finally this little china doll was made in the late 1940s and has elastic holding
her arms and legs to the body. The elastic is very old so her arms and legs are
pretty floppy and that poor little nose looks like she hit the pavement.
Sweet memories and many hours spent playing with these and all my other dolls.
Happy Monday to everyone and thanks for coming by to visit!

Oh, your collection is wonderful! it's nice to see the old ones from your grandmother--I wonder how they survived all these years? But I think my favorite (are you allowed to have favorites of your dolls?) is the last one with her little homemade skirt and her ponytail! Linda
ReplyDeleteCandy, what a treasure!! I love these little darlings and so glad you brought them out for us to see.

They are ALL lovely. They look so special in the cloche. It's time they came out of the trunk-they are too pretty to be packed away. Thanks for sharing them.
