Many moons ago I showed you two of my dolls
and said that one day I would show you a couple more.
I don't have a lot but today is a nice warm spring day
and I though I would get Totsy and her friends down
from on top of the cabinet in the lounge.
(I'll have to get back up there one day very soon and do a spot of dusting - it's been a case of out of sight out of mind :( ugh).
Totsy had her cute name when she arrived
but the other two were poor little un-named tykes,
so I call them Bella and Billy.
We had been out for a drive one day and spotted them in a little shop in a little town that is not a destination but the sort of place you pass through on the way to where you're going.
Unless you live there, of course :)
Totsy is 40cms or so in height and she has
the most glorious red hair with beautiful ringlets.
Her eyes are a lovely blue grey
and I think she has quite a pensive look on her face.
I had her for quite a while before the other two arrived.
Billy and Bella are both 32cms in height
and I tend to think of them as twins.
Both of them have lovely red gold hair,
just like two of my grandkids :)
Maybe that's why I was so attracted to them.
Their eyes are a lovely bluish green,
and to me they have a look of utter astonishment on their faces.
All three of them look like they are dressed
in their 'Sunday meeting clothes'.
I didn't buy them but when I got home
I discovered my GKB had bought them for me.
What a gem!

And this is nothing to do with dolls
but is the medal my pre teen grandson won
at the end of the footy season, for good sportsmanship.
Way to go Jack :)

Your dolls are so cute. I too collected dolls at one time, but now I am trying to downsize on "stuff", just don't have the room for much. I enjoyed reading about yours.

Hi sweet friend! Your dolls are simply precious! I have a few in my craft room that belonged to my grandmothers and I always think of them when I see them. Thank you for sharing this wonderful post with Roses of Inspiration. Have a lovely week! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOh Diana, your Totsy, and Bella and Billy are just charming. When I read that your GKB surprised you with them, my heart melted! My late beloved hubby would've done something like that.
