Today's doll is one I found at a thrift store. She's Camille.
Camille is an American Girls Wellie Wishers doll.
I have been wanting Wellie Wishers Willa, the red head. But you get what you can find if you're cheap.
As a Wellie Wisher she would probably have come wearing a pair of rubber boots, or 'wellies'. ('Wellies' is short for Wellington boots, named for Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington. Apparently he wanted his boots to be a little shorter, so they would be better in warmer weather, and he could wear them with his evening clothes. So, he had his shoe maker make him a pair to his description, and the Wellington boot was born.
Anyway, I got mine naked from the thrift store. She's instead wearing a dress that was on a Tiny Tears when I bought it. It didn't fit Tiny anyway.
The Wellie Wishers debuted in 2016, for kids who were not old enough for the regular 18 inch American Girl dolls, but not toddlers anymore.
Wellie Wishers are 14 1/2 inches tall, and all vinyl.
Early Wellie Wishers had vinyl limbs and a hard plastic torso, and a raised 'W' logo. Later dolls, post 2021, were all vinyl with a sunken 'W' logo, so I think this doll is a later version, .
She has the standard articulation of neck, shoulders, and hips.
Her blue eyes are inset plastic eyes.

She has painted on lashes, and brows that are individually painted hairs.
The best part about this doll, and the line in general,(besides those cute boots, which
I don't have), is the teeth. They all have two cute little front teeth.
I think my girl has had a hair cut. Her hair would have originally been longer than this.
That's today's doll. See you again tomorrow.
