| Last Fall my cousin brought this little doll to me. Unmarked, she was a bit dirty, nearly nude and her poor little head was covered with glue residue. Her clothing and wig were donated by a thrift store porcelain doll. |

| I like her in sepia tones. Now, what shall I do with her? |
 |
| When I saw this little doll at Goodwill, last evening, She was wearing a classic hand crochet bed doll outfit. You know, large full skirt with a big hat. Her hair was partially pinned on top of her head. Her arms, held on by rubber bands, were now only held on by the arms of her gown. I thought she was composition, at first, but wanted to examine her, anyway. She is (ta da) hard plastic. $7.99. Hmmm. Well, with my discount card, that would be $7.20, plus sales tax. After some thought, I spent the cash and brought her home. My friend, Sylvia, confirmed for me (today) that I had got my money's worth. She is a Saucy Walker TYPE. Sylvia also restrung her arms. The connection between her legs and head seems to be out of order. When you turn her from side to side her eyes move, so I think she once had "flirty" eyes. I didn't need another hard plastic doll from the 1950's, did I? I do admit to being a little excited. :) (These clothes don't quite fit. She has the toddler body type, so, most of my stockpile is not made for her.) |

| I made a little sun suit for Betsy McCall. |
 |
| But I think I like it better on this older doll. |
 |
| I think she's sweet. |
