Before we start, here's an update on my room. I went in there today to retrieve some things and the walls are really sooty. I mean blackened. I licked my finger and ran it lightly down the wall a little way, to see if it might come off. It did, but I'm not sure how clean I'll ever be able to get it. And the whole room is that way. I also found that my Bookworm figure, that you might have seen HERE, is now vacuum sealed in his packaging. He was way into the room, but up fairly high. I tried to see if the Barbie Regal Bed was still intact, but it was too dark to be sure. But it was further into the room, against the back wall, and up almost to the ceiling on top of a bookcase. The heat may have had an ill affect on it. We'll see.
Today we're going to see another little dollhouse doll I got at the miniature show. She's an Erna Meyer doll.

| She's about 3 1/2 inches tall. |
 |
| She has plastic feet and white wrapping that acts as socks. |
This girl is a later doll, probably 1980's.
The dolls have stockingette faces and distinctive features. Originally they were hand painted.
If you haven't had enough Erna Meyer check out the posts on my vintage Erna Meyer Dollhouse Lady and Dollhouse Grama. For information on the history of the Erna Meyer dolls, check out the Dollhouse Lady post.
Tomorrow we'll see another doll I got at the miniature show.
In the video that I saw, the faces were hand painted, even though three guiding dots were printed first.
ReplyDeleteTrying to maintain the same look, with various artists painting them, I guess.
DeleteThat's a sweet one. Her little pigtails remind me of Olga Korbut.
ReplyDeleteI haven't thought about her for years. You're right.
DeleteWhat a cutie! I don't know about Erna Meyer. Several people in my local doll club collect miniatures.
ReplyDeleteYou've seen my other Erna Meyer doll, haven't you?
