Doll-A-Day 2019 #297: Wee Wishes

  Today's doll is an other I dug out of a box recently. He's this little guy.

He's a Wee Wishes doll.

He was made by Effanbee.
 

He's about 5 inches tall.

He has a vinyl head,and the rest of him is stuffed cloth.

His arms and legs are thread jointed.

 So he can move his arms and legs,and his head turns.
 

  I don't know much about him. I know there were at least a couple of other Wee Wishes dolls that had the same head and the same sort of box. Those were dressed in a pumpkin costume and a bumble bee costume. It must have been a costume series,because this guy is also in costume. He's dressed as a Pierrot. The other Wee Wishes dolls were Wee Patsy dolls. (You can see one of mine HERE.)

  That's the doll for today. Today I found some more interesting dolls in Ivy's closet for her birthday month features.

Doll-A-Day 2019 #296: Frozen Charlotte

  Today's doll is this tiny girl.

She's a Frozen Charlotte.

A Frozen Charlotte is a porcelain doll made all in one piece,although I think most people consider the dolls with one piece legs and joined arms to be Frozen Charlotte's too.

This girl is about 3 inches tall, but Frozen Charlotte dolls do come larger. Most are small though, since early on they were slipped into Christmas puddings.

The boy version of a Frozen Charlotte is called a Frozen Charlie.

This little girl is carrying a purse.

The name 'Frozen Charlotte' comes from a very old song called "Fair Charlotte",which, in turn, was based on a poem called,"A Corpse Going to a Ball". In the song/poem a girl named Charlotte goes on a sleigh ride. She refuses to bundle up from the cold because she doesn't want to cover her pretty dress. Subsequently,she freezes to death!

This girl has some paint left, but I'm not sure it's even original to her. She has a red neckerchief, and some yellow paint left on her hair.

 

 

 

That's today's doll. 

See you tomorrow for another one.

Doll-A-Day 2019 #295: Project MC2 'Camryn's Robot' Camryn Coyle doll

  I am still having back problems and I'm still working on Ivy's room makeover, The two do not go together well! It does mean that I have come across some interesting dolls of Ivy's that I'll be showing you during her birthday month of November. But for now...
   Today's doll is this pretty girl.

 

She's Project MC2 Camryn Coyle from the set Camryn's Robot.

 

She was made in 2016.

The idea behind the set was to make a wind up robot from household items like a marshmallow or a strawberry! The set originally came with a wind up base and parts to attach to your marshmallow body,including an eye, and a pair of glasses with an attached mustache.

Her outfit consists of a camouflage coat...
 

...with a faux fur collar...

...a denim one piece shorts outfit...

...and patterned leggings.
 

Her lab gloves are molded on. 

She originally came with blue and brown ankle boots and an Elmer Fudd type hat too.
She has interestingly coloured hair. It's a mixture of chocolate brown and sort of a black cherry colour. It makes me think of a chocolate covered cherry.

She has beautiful inset eyes with 'real' lashes.

She's nicely articulated, with jointing at the neck,shoulders,elbows,wrists,hips,and knees.

That's today's doll.
 

Tomorrow we'll see another one.

Doll-A-Day 2019 #294: Caroline Kennedy

  I'm still suffering from some back pain, but it was better today. I'm also still working on Ivy's room makeover. It poured today. Luckily I had just picked up my daily walnut crop just before it happened. During a break in the rain I photographed today's doll. She's this pretty little girl.

She's Caroline Kennedy.

She is Madam Alexander's representation of President Kennedy's daughter.

She was made in 1961.

 

She stands 13 inches tall.

She's all original.

Her dress is sort of a Swiss dot,except they aren't dots. They're more like dashes. (That's not meant as a pun. I didn't think of Morse code until I had written that.)

Her dress buttons on the back.
 

 There are little ribbons on the shoulders and lace trim on the sleeves.
 

She has a white slip and bloomers with stripes and roses.

Her white side snap shoes are faux suede.

She has white socks that are hard to distinguish from the tops of her shoes.

Her blonde hair has gentle curls,

.

She has blue sleep eyes with 'real' lashes.

She's made of a soft vinyl,and is jointed at the neck, shoulders, and hips.

She has chubby, dimpled knees,as a four year old Caroline Kennedy would have had in 1961. 
 

 Her mouth is toothless and pink,with a little tongue showing.
 

  I found this doll in with a bunch of auction buys I was going to sell, but she was so cute I decided to transfer her to my stuff I'm keeping.

  That's today's doll. Come back tomorrow for another one.
