If you travel around Blogland today, you will discover lots of posts about vintage dolls. Lori at 'Faerie Window' organised a doll challenge for bloggers to share photos of their doll collections.
The dust here at the Stone House is horrendous today - the builder has been blasting the floor of the basement ready for the leveling compound to go down. So again I have to share some archive photos with you, as I have had to cover everything to protect it from the dusty atmosphere......so I'm sorry if you've seen these before....
This rag doll sits on top of the dresser in our living room.
A sophisticated lady poses in the downstairs loo!
Dolls amongst my millinery collection.
A cute little French doll.

I have received an email from Heather today to say that she has received my swap parcel for the 'Junque in my Trunk Swap', so I have posted some photos of the box of goodies that I sent to her on Flickr.
Hope you enjoyed opening your box of 'junque', Heather!!!

I'm off to hem some curtains in my daughters bedroom now.
Have a great week,

Hello, Your post is inspiring me! I have a couple of those white china doll heads, which I use in my antique doll shops, but I can dress them up too. Thanks for inspiration. Good luck building and renovating, it isn't always easy to see that you first will have an awfull mess to achieve something beautifull, I know that from experience. I love that little doll with the rose bottle too.
ReplyDeleteLovely dolls!!! The little french one is too cute! Thank you for sharing these beautiful pictures!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful as always, Niki!!! I have no words for your box of "junque" ...!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYour dolls are superb- I love the rag doll very much, and the pretty little French doll is really a cutie!!
Enjoy the rest of the week,
Monica.

The cutie little French doll has my heart. Perhaps it is the fabric lining the trunk in which she sits ::sigh:: how sweet and wonderful!
I really must return to peek into your archives. I just know I will be lost for hours and hours ::sigh::
So happy to have found you.
Thanks for inviting us all to visit.
See you again soon.

Hello, I had a doll almost identical to the little french one pictured. She was called Itsy Beans and I used to hide her in my dad's suitcase as he worked away a lot. I wish I could find her again, she was so dear to me!
