They look so nice now with their proper cleanings, stringings, rebraidings, and outfit renewings. The babies are so precious and I love their nappies. Plus they can now see!

What a great job you've made of ...Hello Sharon!<br />What a great job you've made of these little ladies. This size of doll is never easy to work on but you made them look almost new.<br />I had the same mother doll as the first one, bought for me in 1962 by an aunt but mine had two little babies on her back which had vaguely marked out arms down by their sides and, to my 7 year old horror, no legs when I removed them from their cradle board carrier. The costume was exactly the same. I wonder where she went.<br /><br />What a great idea to use a Magic Eraser on the leather. So glad their owner can have them back in such great condition. jenannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321001863688006661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-63840455071083739122018-05-30T05:46:09.165+02:002018-05-30T05:46:09.165+02:00Well done Sharon!

Unfortunately the dolls didn't have any makers marks on them, so I'm assuming they were ones bought from maybe a tourist type souvenir shop or similar?

I will have to ask my friend if she knows exactly where her father got them from, as I believe he got them whilst on business trips....maybe it was to the US!!<br />That's funny too that the baby you had also wore a similar fringed nappy! I didn't look up anything online, I just thought to myself "what will work for these babies!" How spooky is that!!<br />xxxSharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14816580427584989752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8235272631422518491.post-39451944005496451512018-05-29T20:11:08.394+02:002018-05-29T20:11:08.394+02:00Thank you so much Dee, I really did enjoy doing it...Thank you so much Dee, I really did enjoy doing it!

I had a little baby just like that. He originally came glued inside a little buckskin tepee, and had a fringed nappy exactly like the one you made!
