Here is the sweet 'new' doll I found.
Not sure just when I started liking them,
but if it is crackled, aged, a bit raggedy,
I'm drawn to it.
Oh, has to have just that certain personality/look too.
One of those 'you know it when you see it' things.

And maybe fix her lips.
They are distracting I think.
But, if that is the way she came originally,
I will leave them.
She came in this little woolen coat.

She came in this little woolen coat.
and this sweet little dress which even has a slip under it.
All very thin, fine material. I do not want it
to disintegrate when it is cleaned.
And I'll ask my friend if she is at all valuable.
She has some markings on her neck.

Here are some little tags I am making.
Got the tags at a garage sale,
tea stained them, stamped them
and wallah! Cute tags.
And we can all use a little hope.
And I'm braggin' on my students who
made some cute nests Monday in class.
It was our first nest class at the store.
Old Trowel. (sorry for sideways pic)
a burned out candle. clever.
Go HERE to see rest of class pics.
Go HERE to see about next Monday's class.

I love the doll, too, Barbara! She has great little clothes, too!
Love the sweet dollie-I can think of several places I would put her in my house-have fun with her!
I love the old doll. Your nests are adorable too. Have a wonderful day.
Oh, I love your new dolly! I think she's beautiful!!.. I know, I can't resist, when I see one at some sale, sitting alone, no longer wanted or needed. It never takes long before I'm scooping it up to come home with me, where it will be loved, appreciated, and adored! ~tina
I bought a doll with cracked composition recently because I fell in love with her - so I totally understand!

Your doll is so sweet! Can't you imagine all the loving she has had and now she is getting some more from you! She came with the nicest wool sweater.
Now I'm off to your bird nest tutorial!
Thank you,

I love your doll! I have a similar one that was made around my birthdate of 1947. Perhaps your is the same age. Her little clothes are delightful. Great find!
