My mother soon realized this and stopped buying them for me. I didn't mind dresses and looking girly but the frills and ruffles just had to go. Too over the top for me. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-27126658163065221742015-10-24T14:32:57.346-05:002015-10-24T14:32:57.346-05:00LOL, this doll reminds me of myself as a kid.

I'd end up looking like a total ragamuffin, so she reserved this look for church and Easter. If this doll is any indication, I looked pretty darn cute!Muffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121187068323359131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-29842369435077350062015-09-29T16:53:31.403-05:002015-09-29T16:53:31.403-05:00Thank you so much Farrah Lily!

I am not a purist so I don't have to have the box, certificate, and other extras.

"Our Fairy" doll. This company made their original dolls from 1910-1930s. The repro is by Jeannie DiMauro, sold through HSN during the late 1990s. She is 5 inches tall and full-body porcelain. She came with the little teddy bear companion. I have always loved this little girl whose given name by the artist is Shellie. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-78318435026814123132015-09-29T08:07:50.489-05:002015-09-29T08:07:50.489-05:00Mine, all mine!
