ANOTHER TYPE OF DOLL

Being a Doll Lover or a Lover of Dolls, means that Sasha's are not the only dolls that I love. I know that some of you only collect Sasha's but others are interested or collect other types of dolls.

I have loved these dolls longer than i have loved Sasha, I even remember having jigsaw puzzles of them and that's where I think my attraction to them started, somewhere around I have an old knitting pattern for them showing the dolls in the knitwear.

Because I have almost , if not all the Sasha's and Gregors I want, unless of course a little face looks at me and I cannot resist, my doll loving eyes have wandered elsewhere and I have added a doll or two to one of my other collections and even started one.

I have always owned a couple of Kathe Kruse dolls and often looked at them for sale but managed to resist adding any as a Sasha or Gregor was always at the front , waving and shouting  Me! Me!
So I have left and gone to respond to the noisy Sasha.

However having sold a couple of dolls I finally went looking and bought a few to add to my KK family.

First in line was this young girl Mizzi, I just loved her look and her dress, so I made an offer and it was accepted.

She came with her box which will need to be put away.

A sweet face.

Then I was looking at ebay late one evening and saw the next girl sitting looking in need of a little Tlc, she also reminded me of a 70's girl I seen about for a much much higher price.
So I jumped in and bought her.

She came wearing this over sized dress ans grubby socks.

You can see from her sulky face she was not impressed!

She still had her all in one.

And her hair was loose, but her body very clean for her age and lack of clothing.


I remembered that I had a Kathe Kruse sailor outfit that Arabella used to wear, so I hunted it out, plaited her hair and...

here she is , looking much better but still in need of some shoes for her tiny feet!

Still sulking but I think much happier!

I may have to get her shoes made because you do not see KK shoes available, not originals anyway.

I am really pleased that I took the chance and bought this girl.

I gathered some of the others for a group photo.

Here they are joined by Rupert, Mary and Dotty.

I love the size of Rupert who  is 47cm or 18/ 19 inches.

Mary and Dotty have moved over so you can see more of Rupert's lovely outfit.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing a different style of doll today, these dolls are also collectibles .



NB , what set me off on this pots was on an fb group people were showing their KK dolls, this post was meant for Sunday but I received my lovely Christmas gifts so changed to that one first. So I am adding it today but just before I came to add it an email from Ginger's Sasha shangri- la blog popped into my inbox , so I went to look..........................My heart was in seventh heaven.. Ginger owns the most wonderful collection of KK dolls and is very knowledgeable about them, so I stopped a while and will need to go back again and again to look my fill if possible!

However I stole one of her photo's because it is just perfection, it's here below..... hopefully she won't come along and tell me off and to remove it.. but just in case have a good look ,  then pop over to her blog, it's on the side bar and fill ya boots! but don't blame me if you find a few KK dolls arriving at your door.. blame Ginger.. I will ... :))

Ginger's blog is that way  >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
