She's going to be called Adelaide
I've been thinking for a while about adding a kid to the crew, for diorama purposes, and there she was, waiting for me. She was all alone in the middle of monsters and mini cars.
The thing that impressed me most, is that I've been reading Farrah and Barb posts about American Dolls and I never saw any of them in shops here in Italy, so I had to double check to be sure.
I can understand people talking about "rescuing unloved dolls". In fact she's in perfect order, her hair are a bit bushy but I believe she can be easily fixed with a gentle brushing.
Now she needs a good washing, some love and new clothes and shoes....she's goint to fit perfectly as the younger daugher of Luchino and Costanza
And she's going to be as spoiled as her big brothers!

| Honey, I promise you, next time you're going to make a new movie! |

| A kid upstairs?!?!?!? Are you JOKING?!?!??!! |
That is a great deal! All she needs is a litle attention and she will be as good as new. Hahaha, the neighbours aren't pleased are they, to say the least LOL! xxx
ReplyDeleteShe's very cute (I like her face a lot), came extra cheap, got all her hair and opens new possibilities for dioramas....
DeleteThe neighbours are MAD AT ME! LOL
That really is a fantastic deal! Congratulations on finding one!
ReplyDeleteHi Barb, any ideas about which character she is?
DeleteWith the ash blond hair and bangs, I'd definitely say she is Kirsten Larson. Kirsten's character was one of the original three 18" dolls produced by Pleasant Company. Kirsten and her family are recent immigrants from Sweden, who settle in Minnesota. Her stories take place from 1854-1856. I will throw a couple of pictures of my mini Kirsten up on my blog.
DeleteTHank you very much Barb, for the super fast reply and the pictures you posted on your blog! Now I also have a great idea to sew shoes for her!
DeleteI like her back story, I'm very happy with her!
Good find, good deal. I had to laugh about the kid upstairs comment. Funny.
ReplyDeleteYou see Jaye, when I started collecting the rules were: no Kids, this is going to be a fashionista collection, but when you get started with dioramas you have to add characthers to populate them....I think
DeleteMore drama is going to set in in the house!
Congrats! I love the minis. Looking forward to seeing the family dynamics.
ReplyDeleteHi Vanessa, I'm working on several projects and I hope I will be able to get to Adelaide and Family soon enough!
DeleteShe's so sweet,so cute face.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ana, I think she's very sweet and cute too...
DeleteCongratulations on that great deal! She's cute and I look forward to the new line your stories will take ;-)
ReplyDeleteShe reminds me of those brat child of the movies of the 30's and with those do-nothing brothers of her, I think I will find some nice storilines. I also have to sew her a doll.....a kid must have at least one toy!
DeleteGreat find!
ReplyDeleteThank you jSarie, I still can't believe I was so lucky!
DeleteOh yes, I can imagine not being happy over the pitter patter of little feet running here and there above their heads!!! LOL!!! (Had this problem once--drove me c-r-a-z-y!!!!) You are a TRUE doll person, Billa. Your new dolly is adorable and I know about not being able to pass up a bargain. It's funny how when we start out with this hobby with a single idea, only to find ourselves in a brand new place later on. It will be fun to see how you work this new member of your doll family in!
ReplyDeleteHi April, you know I like to play little tricks on my dolls.....they are so upper crust super fashionable, and I love to throw in some craziness from time to time....
DeleteYou're so right, you can never tell where this hobby is going to lead you, guess it's what it makes it so interesting, you can never get bored!
I'm working on new posts for the next months and I'm trying to finish at least the action figures outfits, I have so many things going on, I have to keep my nerve and go ahead one step at a time!
Wow, so lucky to find one in great shape! They don't even make Kirsten mini dolls anymore so this is extra special. :)
ReplyDeleteThe neighbors are probably made because they know they will be asked to babysit, lol.
Hi Farrah, I'm so happy we have adopted her! I odered some baby jane's and soon I'll get started on her wardrobe.
DeleteWell Luchino and Costanza have a plethora of servants, so Adelaide will have her nanny. But she's super spoiled!!! I also have to find a way to sew her a doll!
