Hi, thought it would be fun to do a doll a day. Please join! Every day, post one of your dolls. It can be obscure, popular or only you love it. Tell us who it is, who made it, a little bit about it and why you love it! Only one a day and we can go on forever!....terri
Her wig had never been off of her, I had to pop it off (VERY nervously) because she had jammed eyes. Turned out that the sleeper rod in her head, the bit of wood which stopped the weight of her eyes rolling up too far when she was laid down, had come unstuck and jammed the weight down, so that they wouldn't open or close - so she was permanently like this:
I do have a very soft spot for the dolls I have rescued/rehabilated, and this is my first - and currently only - K*R character doll, but NOT the last one, I hope!
Oh Wow! Marie, The W. D.:-x
Bella,:-x what a story, must have been like looking for a needle in the haystack, great that you saved her.
Choca, love your "little":-x
Mab, darling girl and beautiful eyes:-x

My 28" SH HH on her wooden ice skates. At the moment, this lovely girl is a horse woman, her summer activity!:^O Marie
Choca, your little Kestner is sooooo sweet. Lovely eyes!
Mab, your toddler is an incredible buy! If I had seen her, I would surely have wanted her, so, great sleeper find!!!
I am so loving looking at all the beauties and learning something about dolls as well!...keep them coming and thanks!
This is my little Unis Matilda who started out life as Mathew...can you tell I am a doll unisexer?
One of my three wax dollies. I will post the other two tomorrow and Friday. This grand lady came from an auction in NH. Two photos. First, she is ready to retire for the evening, wig on the hat stand and night cap on her head.
Second photo as she looks today. New old wig, cape and dress and hat. Holding her fur muff as the chilly London mornings can make one shiver.;-)
I adore this flirty-eyeddoll, marked W for Wernike... original everything. (a sleeper that a dolly buddy pointed out to me)
This little Miss Nobody Important is my favorite doll. (Don't tell the others!). I love her little face, and even her bad haircut hiding under the cap I made for her. I am having so much fun looking at y'all's dolls. They are what my daughter called buuuugorjus when she was little.
The dolls have been stunning and I've loved each one. But how well I understand Susie's beloved Miss Nobody Important.
Last December I found this Vogue Baby Dear One in a TS toy bin while taking a break from the hospital where my cherished young niece was dying. I love this doll unaccountably.
In March I was stunned when my 7th grade granddaughter used this doll's photo in a school assignment on an interesting relative and said, "I think my Grandma saves dolls because she can't save people."
Love, Love, Love Seeing EVERYONES Beautiful Dolls:-x
