That Scary Looking Doll

In my post earlier today you saw photos of my new vintage baby doll and I told you I would be back to tell you about her.  She is a 1930's 20" doll.


I won this vintage doll on Ebay a week ago.

I was on Ebay just "looking around" and typed in "vintage doll heads".  The sale of this doll was ending in 5 minutes and there were two bidders bidding on her.  I entered a dollar more than the highest bidder and clicked on the bid button.  Within a minute (or less), someone outbid me.  Two of us went back and forth up until the last 10 seconds when I WON!

Doesn't this doll look like something JoAnna Pierotti would paint her flowers on the forehead of and then dress up in some of her beautiful laces and such?  Or maybe Michael DeMeng who would probably hammer nails in her head and put a metal gate across her face or something - HA!

So what will I do with her, you ask?  Well, for the moment she's sitting outside on a table basking in the California sun.  I think I'm going to put her in my Etsy shop - she's just a little too creepy to live here with me *smiles*
