Highlighting a couple more dolls.

An OOAK Easter dress by Daisy,Daisy seen here on a 1967 Frido Dungaree NP with beautiful eye painting but unfortunately her lips are damaged by being force fed by a child.
This little soul languished on Shelly's website for months and months until a few days before Christmas I succumbed to her plight and took her in promising to 'soft food' feed her until her lips were better. (Unfortunately I haven't as yet managed to find anyone to help with these repairs so she is still living here but wanting to go to a new home sometime in the future.)



These dresses have a delightful Daisy, Daisy trade mark in the fact that they have a tiny little gold bell sewn into the hem at the back which tinkles when you dress her or the doll is on the move.

  2. Oh Kendal! I so wish I could come and meet you and your Sashas in person! PLEASE make a book of your photos - I'm sure it would sell.

  3. They are lovely Kendal. I guess our other comments disappeared when blogger went down? What a shame the first pretty girl was force fed...she is lovely, the perfect year as well! ;)

    The last girl looks rather wistful.

  5. Kendal, I'm curious how would you go about restoring her lips? Would you use a very very fine sandpaper? I have restored a couple clarinets from the 1800s and although quite different (obviously) you still have to have a very smooth finish so it doesn't look like there was any damage? Would be interested in your thoughts? I would have emailed you, but don't have an address. I think you can reply straight to me if you would like.
