My Dolls

I often get asked how many dolls do I have? I usually take a guess, so I have decided to take photos of them.

Starting at the beginning with the Tendon production is my NP (NP is short for no philtrum, a philtrum is the two lines that are between your lip and your nose)

So below are some photos of Ida or was born in 1966 and her eyes were pained by Sara Doggart.

Ida is wearing a dress by Marilyn Hotchkiss and a pair of early JJ sandals,her teddy was made by me.

Still in 1968, next up is Bunty, this little lady is a waif and because of the haircut she received in her past, I am unable to tell if she would have been a single fringe girl or not. She does have a full centre part. Bunty is wearing a lovely dress by Marti Murphy, her shoes are by Craig Randall and her rag doll was purchased from Wacky Walker bears.

Next is Nuru who was born in 1972, she is a Cora and a very early one as her strings are all white. She is quite unique as whoever painted her face gave her one feathered eyebrow and one not. She has the golden eyes, which sometimes happens with the early Cora’s and Caleb’s due to the pigment used in the paint. Nuru is wearing a white dress Trendon outfit and shoes by Rosie Bloom. Nuru’s name means golden light in Swahili.

Next up is my made over Marina who was born in 1981. Unfortunately Marina’s hair began to fall very badly, so I sent her off to Alison to have her re-rooted with a single fringe and full centre part. I then asked shelly to paint her eyes and this is the result. Marina is wearing a dress by Vintage Sasha and shoes by Marti Murphy

Marina has been with me a few years now and she may be up for re-homing so if you are interested let me know.

  1. How great is this! What a super idea. A wonderful record for keeps.
    Looking forward to the next installment!
    (Now wishing that I had done this with my 79 Sasha Dolls dolls BEFORE starting their downsizing early this year! I actually did start on photographing the 1966/67 girls but then real life and illness got in the way,)

  2. Thank you for sharing. I have ten dolls so far (I started collecting two or three years ago) and I am keeping written files with photos for each one of them. Any extra info I find from websites such as yours that is pertinent to my dolls I add to the files. I am looking forward to enjoying the rest of your collection.
