meet my mom's beautiful,"no name dolly". isn't she just precious? all these years and mom says she never did name her!! so i will call her dolly. mom got this doll when she was very small from her aunt meta.my grandpa john's sister. sadly she passed away when mom was very young. meta ordered it from germany, where she was born and gave it to my mom and told gram to let mom play with her. well, mom did play with her and she was in a sad state several years ago. just lying in a box in the closet. i don't remember exactly how it went but, talking to mom one day she said she would like to get her fixed up, so off to a doll hospital, dolly went. she came back all restrung and a new wig, almost like brand new except, for her broken off finger and no clothes. my mom worked with a lady who sewed pretty doll clothes and this is what she came up with for dolly. dolly's original dress was an aqua blue and she had long stockings on and bloomers.

i just love the little space between her front teeth.

what a special treasure to have.
