Fierce Fellow

I almost always look at dolls
in thrift stores and flea markets.
I bought this fierce Pirate Captain.  Then I
didn't know quite what to do with him.
So, I sold him, again.  He's set to sail
away this week.

A Little Blue Knit Sweater

It was fun, but I'm not happy
with the seams joining the
sleeves to the sweater
at the shoulders...

if you see what I mean. :/

Another "ism"

Bless me Blogger for I have ... not posted for TEN days!

-- Forgive me, please, if this offensive.  I am not Catholic and have no wish to deride or upset anyone.

OK, so here it is.
Is there such a thing as
"DOLLISM?"

Perhaps "CLEARANCE-ISM?"

Does any one else do this?

"Ooo!  A dolly clearance sale!
Ooo!  I don't have a Moxie boy!
Ooo!  He's cute!
Ooo!  One third the original price!
Ooo!  I have enough money!
Ooo!  I haven't bought a doll
for a while!"

Then
"Ooo!  What did I do that for?"

I mean, he's cute, and all, but
I think I just should have walked
away. 

By the by, his feet are non-existent.
The boots come off like
Bratz.

Oh, well.  Maybe some day I'll
have this lesson down pat.

 And... yes, this is an "ism."
It's part of that sneaky consumerism.

Do not worry.  It's a small price to
pay for such a good lesson.

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.

Who is This Dashing Doll?

It's a Ken, at least his body, by Mattel.

I have no idea who he may represent.

Any ideas on who he is?
