Today is the doll challenge hosted by Lori over at Faerie Window She has invited us to show our doll collections.
We will start off with Miss Emma. She is one of my oldest dolls and is made of hard plastic. Emma is approximately 55 years old. The poor dear lived in a box for a very long time and finally I took her to be refurbished and she now has a place of honour in my collection.
Next up is Sally Lou, a sweet china Doll I received a few years back
She usually is taking baby for a stroll in the little buggy. The buggy was a gift from a dear friend.
I picked up four of these little babies at a garage sale a few years ago
Betty Jean is another china doll and also a music box. She is a very unhappy little doll as she has pulled the head off her bear. She spends her days sitting in a little Radio Flyer red wagon
Lovely Anna was a gift from my sweet daughter-in-law.
Mary Ruth is the tiniest little china doll, no more that 2 inches. She lives on a little shelf
Last is a china cat doll that I picked up at a flea market
I hope you have enjoyed the few dolls from my collection. I will have to do a revisit to this theme sometime in the near future. There is a box somewhere in the basement full of many more dolls and wonderful crocheted dresses that my aunt made back in the 50's. I'm now off to visit and enjoy more collections.
