Doll-A-Day 2019 #90: Tiny Corn Husk Lady

 Emma and I took Ivy back to college today. It was another long car trip. It seems I have done almost nothing but take long car trips lately! It was late when I arrived back,and all I wanted to do was get  out of my tight waisted pants and take a hot shower, and spend some time with Ken. Unfortunately, when I approached the litter box that I'm responsible for, (Ken does the others.), I found that the  problem Fuzzy's cat Jimmy Stewart,(who we are taking care of indefinitely.) was having last night had continued today, with explosive results. That took a chunk out of my time. But finally, here is today's doll.

She's the smallest corn husk doll I have ever seen.

She's only about 2 inches tall.

I guess she's been gardening, because she's carrying a spade or small shovel. Unless there's a more sinister reason...

 I got her today in a bag of miniatures at an antique mall, which was really only big enough to be a fair sized antique store.
 

She's so small I had a hard time getting her in focus.

  Tomorrow we'll look at another doll. See you then.

Doll-A-Day 2017 #60: 'Hitty' Grandparents

  You may have thought you read this post before, but  due to my internet problems it was accidentally published without having been saved.So as far as I can tell, it was a blank post. Let's try this again!
  Today's doll is two.It's these two wooden dolls.

They remind me of Hitty dolls,so I'm referring to them as 'Hitty Grandparents'.

They stand 7 1/2" tall.

Their necks, arms,and legs are jointed, so they can sit or stand and move their arms. Their heads are wobbly in the neck hole,so they can tilt or turn them.

Their clothes are sewn on.They could do with a wash, but I can't get them off, and I don't want to ruin the dolls.

Grandpa has some pretty rough ears,but at least he has some.

Grandma has a bun,like my grandma used to...but no ears.

They both have simple feet, but Grandma has one foot bigger than the other.

And Grandpa has thumbs, but Grandma just has lump hands.If it wasn't for the fact that she's clothed, I would think maybe she isn't finished.

  I got these dolls in an auction lot, and I don't know anything about them.
So there it is.This post has been redone, and I hope it stays this time!Check in tomorrow to see if I managed to get a post up!
