Questions,questions......:lol::lol:
 
Blackberry she mightve not found dolls creepy that's probably why she clicked on your thread, but mightve found 'those' dolls creepy..
 
Looks like you had a fab time! I've never 'met' any dolls like that in real life - didn't realise some of them were so big. I can certainly see the attraction, some of them are beautiful.
 
Ok, those are fabu! I love the tea house scene and the little girl sitting on her mum. Where do all those dolls live?

My friend in the states has like 6 of those dolls, and I was amazed at how versatile they were with how you could style them. I was a bit :shock: when she pulled out the bag of spare eyeballs so she could change the colour of the eyes tho. :lol:
 
Fascinating, what size are the dolls in the tearoom scene? I love the boots on one of the dolls! :lol:

Yeah, the eye changing is a bit freaky when you first see it :lol:

The little girl and her mum, and the hippy, her dad, are my sister's. The lady who runs this meet sets up a cafe scene and the dolls all visit :lol: Then she has little chairs and sofas all around the room for others to sit on.
 
What a real shame I had not joined RU last year. At my last proper job working with the elderly we had 2 huge boxes donated full of the most amazing pieces of dolls. Different head sizes and hair. They were all porcelain.

It belonged to a woman who went into a nursing home. It had patterns, and materials, all sorts of things. Unfortunately none of us knew what to do with them, as we had no skills to put them together.

A real labour of love. Some of the items were over 50 years old plus and in mint condition. There are still in some storage cupboard there.
