Doll-A-Day 2019 #96: Kathleen

    Well,if it's not one thing it's another. The back is better, the hip is much better although still giving me trouble,but now I have the flu! I think I caught it from Emma. When we took Ivy back to college Emma had what she thought was a sinus infection. I think it must have been the flu. She was pretty sick the other day. I got pretty sick last night and had a horrible chill. Today I feel awful. Luckily I photographed today's girl yesterday!
  Today's doll is one you're probably either going to love or hate. She's this girl.

As for me,I love her.

I know she's a little unusual,but that's her appeal for me.

She's marked Pedigree,Made in England.

I researched and found out that she's from a series of Pedigree dolls called Delite dolls,and that she appears in the 1953 Pedigree catalog.

There was more than one type of Delite doll. The series of Delite dolls this girl comes from were made to resemble Storybook or Fairytale characters, or dolls from different countries. This girl is named Kathleen,and presumably represents Ireland. She's about 7 1/2 inches tall.

She has what are called the 'starfish hands'.

Her eyes are what will probably put some people off.

They're sleep eyes,and are somewhat googly.

    That's it for today. See you again tomorrow.
