Military Man!

My cousin and his wife
bought this for our grandmother
when he was still an
active Marine.
He's dressed in felt and
has paper details and
I love him.

What do You Call Them?

Got this little set at Goodwill, Tuesday.

Some of the flatware is missing.

But I did not resist.

I call them "doll dishes."
Probably there is a better designation.
Probably I didn't need them.

The "Accidental" Doll

I bid on this darling on ebay.

I didn't mean to do it, and I didn't notice that I had!

So, now she lives with me.

Some of the impressions are hard to read.
The numerals may not be what I think.

There Were a Few Dolls....

...a very few, at the antique mall, today.

Never Removed From Box

Some people only want dolls in this

condition.  I have some.  They are

nice to gaze upon.  If I were investing

in dolls, I would expect to keep them

this way.  I think it just depends on

the individuals reason for having dolls.

For me, it's fun to dress dolls, to

photograph dolls, to clean up grubby

rejects, and, sometimes, just to gaze

upon dolls.

"Painting" a Picture

The photograph was not very good.

The doll (Brinn's Collectible

Martha Jefferson Randolph Doll,

American Tradition Series 1987)

is not currently displayed in

my home.  Worthy of attention?

I thought so.  So I "messed"

with the picture to make it look

a little more like art. ;-)
