I am a sucker for old dolls...but I am very picky. I love the chinas and the creamy sweet bisque faced dolls from Germany but now and then I find one that was artist made with loving hands that is irresistible.
This is a stockingnette dollie from the 1930's. Her whimsy and sweet silk dress all in PINKS just made her a must have for me.
She has a molded painted face and is stuffed wire armature covered in silk.
She has a wire hoop petticoat under her dress and a matching hat with old lace accents. I love her flirty eyes and expression and her blond mohair.
Happy Pink Saturday!!
Thanks to Beverly at How Sweet the Sound for hosting!

It's pretty easy to see why she had to come home with you. She's a real beauty, and I don't think I've ever seen one like her. She's a keeper, for sure!
Happy Pink Saturday!

She would be a wonderful addition to my doll collection, do not have many in pink dresses. She is beautiful.
Ooooh I just love the doll and I am not a big doll fan. The fact she is wearing a pink dress makes her all the more lovable!

Happy Pink Saturday Betzie Sweetie...
What a beautiful share. I have never seen such an exquisite doll such as this one. She is so pretty. I love her little face as it is so detailed. Her dress is gorgeous. Yes, I would say she is a keeper.
I scrolled down and saw the beautiful Valentine gal with wings and her elegant trim. She is exquisite. I so enjoyed visiting your blog. I am your newest follower. I can't wait to see what you share next.
Please stop over and say hello. I would love to have you visit. I would be tickled pink to have you as a follower as well. I love meeting new friends and sharing our day to day lives. Can't wait to visit again.

Hi Beztie,
I can see why this little darling shares a home with you. She is just too sweet. The details are amazing. Love her eyes. I have not seen a doll created like this one and you are blessed to have found her. Very unique.
So great to see you dear friend. I hope you have a great week ahead.
We are bracing for bad weather on Tueday. I'll be painting away staying warm inside.
