Another Baby Dreams Velvet Skin Doll

   I did a post quite a while ago about Baby Dreams, the Velvet Skin Doll. Well apparently that was a doll that caught people's attention and interest, because somebody wanted to buy her right away. I sold her.. But people are still asking on a regular basis if I have another one. In fact, I got that question right after I bought another one this summer! I found her at a yard sale. So many people ask if I have one to sell, that I thought I should get her. So here she is. 








  Baby Dreams was made by Ideal in 1975. There were two versions. The first had a flocked face, arms, and legs. The second version only had flocking on her face and arms. This doll is the first version.






  Her flocking is in pretty good condition. These dolls can look pretty rough sometimes. 

   Both versions had a stuffed cloth body, so they were soft and cuddly. The bodies always look dirty, but they came in this weird tan colour.


She has a popped seam on one shoulder. I can fix that before shipping her, if the buyer wants me too. I'm pretty good at hidden stitches. It's one of my only sewing talents! 

  One of her sleep eyes sticks sometimes. It does work though, and her eyes are clear and bright.




She needs her hair done. Maybe conditioned a bit and combed.

 She doesn't have her original nightie.

  If anybody is interested in her, she's $40 plus shipping. Comment with your contact information, which I won't publish, and I'll get back to you.

Kaloo Dolls

  Before I  forget and this becomes old news, like the pictures I took of all the dolls in the massive clearance at Walmart, here are some cute dolls I saw at Barnes and Noble recently. They're called Kaloo.

  This one is Chloe.






  This one is Leonie.



  I couldn't find the names of the others online. I swear I took a picture of the back of the box too, but it's not here! 

  The official website for these dolls says this:

Kaloo dolls from France feature ultra-soft Tendresse characters with embroidered details and machine-washable fabrics, ideal from birth through imaginative play years. Each doll has a unique personality with ribbon neckties, long legs for easy gripping, and comes in an elegant gift box. Choose from diverse characters in sizes from small to XXL for nursery décor or companionship.

  They're really cute. If I had a little kid to buy one for I would. I saw these at Barnes and Noble, but they are available online.

  See you soon.
