Ideal Toni #1

This is an Ideal Toni P-90. She is 14".
I felt in love with this doll because of her eyes. It is a little tint of brown or grey around her eyes, and I just adore it. The only thing she needs is to be restringed, and do something about her hair.
Never mind, I love her eyes ..hi-hi...

And of course when there is a new doll is in the house, I need to do some cloth making. I bought some fabric a while ago. The fabric were made as a curtain.... but what the heck, I have never been able to throw away some beautiful fabric, because it has been used for something else. So I found the scissor and started to cut the fabric.

It was more fabric to use.... I wanted to make her a real negligee from about 1950, with some real swing.

And then Tjorven came along. She immediately felt in love and had to try it on too. But of course she is an 10" and the negligee is way too long for her.

New parcel for me :)

So excited .... I was waiting sooo much for this little darling. And at last...

Open the box... and a little sneekpeek.... Just look at the lovely colour of the hair.

Tear off some more paper... and there she is

A new walker doll, listed as a 1950's hard plastic walker, signed with 170 on the back, and

Made in USA. So now I got two beautiful walker dolls from the same factory.

I felt in love the first time I saw her. 

I knew I just needed to buy her. Gorgeus hair colour.  Just a beautiful example of an old walker doll. 

Have to get her styled and put on some old clothes... I see the clothes she is going to wear in my head. So I have to make them for her.

Also have to get her hair done later.

Look at theese to lovely sweeties, just adorable.
When I was a little girl, I wanted dolls like theese two. I`ll come back later and tell you how that stoy ended...
For now on I am just going to sit down and let my eyes sweep in theese two lovely ladies for the rest of the evening.

Unknown id of this tinhead.

Wonder if anyone can help me id this doll head made of tin? No markings at all, about 10cm from top to bottom.

New dress for a big doll or a toddler

Had some curtains that were way too long. Couldn`t throw the leftovers.  Figured I had to make something of the fabric.

The skirt is still not atattched

Front 

 Back, still missing some buttons.

Tadaaa...

Tjorven #4

A doll that came from the factory with a deep scar on her scalp. I suppose that `s why she did have less and thinner hair than other similar dolls. One of her eyes was also in need of some caring.

The scar: An open wound, about 2-2,5 cm long. I had to glue it so I could sew on some more hair. This spot did not have hair at all. 

More hairplugs.

After mending her eye, the crack is gone and I putted on new eyelashes. I se the eyelashes on the cracked eye needs some trimming. Will do it later. 

The hair is the originally lenght. A few strands were longer, so I had to even out the hair too. In this picture I have rooted the hair, and it is thicker than it was before. I did not remember to take photoes of her from behind before I started rooting the hair. I kept the originally hair, and putted on some more plugs all over her head.

Finished rooting her hair. You can see where the old hair was cutted.

Braided her hair, and did not do anything more for a while. 

Thought she was a biker girl, so I had to put on some new shoes with chains on and high heels.

 After I took out the braid.

 A happy little girl after all.

Ready for Autumn and some colder days.

It is windy outside and the Autumn has arrived.  I knitted some clothes for to go outside and play and have some fun. Anne Lise doll got some new clothes to wear for theese cold days that are arriving.

 Even got a small pair of mittens with thumbs.

Tommelise from Rayco

Tommelise got new eyelashes, new mouthcolour and som blushing on her cheeks. The eyelashes are not the same as the originally ones, they are more curled.

Baby Barry 16" Vintage walker doll from USA

Came across this doll, so I just had to buy her. I love her face, hair, eyes, teeth, dress, shoes... wait... can I just say I love her as the beauty she is?
Her walker mecanism is working perfect.
No marks or scars on her.
But she smell a little bit odd... maybe it is from some Mothballs?

I do not know her name, but she is marked: Made in U.S.A. 170 She`s about 16" long. So if anybody could tell me her name I would be very thankfull.

Update: 3 hours after I putted out this blogpost, I got her name. She is a Baby Barry. Thank you  for the information Mary Jane.

 Beautiful sleeping eyes.
