Fluffee. A good dolly day.

Fluffee arrived in a big box. Poor love was folded in half and bubble wrapped into a bin liner. I arrived home after a rather good dolly day. But first things first. I need tea and to look out of the window and see if the light is worth going out with the camera for. Mostly I need tea and my rice crispies ...note here I have not mentioned chocolate eclairs yet..

This doll was made by J. Halpern & Co Dolls 1923 -1951. from Pittsburgh. USA. A company who made composition Mama dolls to hard plastic transition dolls until 1951. Most of these dolls are un marked.
My Fluffee arrived today and is a transition doll. By transition  doll it is meant that the doll was made half way between composition and hard plastic and she has both elements. This girl has a cloth body, hard plastic head with composition arms,.....a transition doll!

A 1930/1940s Halco doll about 24 inches tall with a mohair wig Sleep eyes with upper lashes, painted lower lashes, . A Shirley Temple look a like doll. Her wig needs a bit of work but hey she is an old girl much older than me too.

Yes folks this is the doll that I bought from Ebay the other day and this is the doll that all the guilt has been heaped upon my head for buying and not affording.....so here she is! it is too late. she is sitting in my kitchen. 
Sunday it is now. The last day of September 2018. And not only is it too late to worry! she is sitting in the kitchen in a new dress as I had another good dolly day in the junk shops at Otley on Friday.....

 A Bingo Bonza Burty haul if ever there was one!.....all from the same shop too......

 l

 The day was already a good dolly day as the old guy from the boat house at the tarn came over to thank me for repairing his doll that belonged to his sister and said that I could give her a home. He is bringing her out one dawn to leave in the boat house for me.....
Then a lady appeared with two Monster high dolls.....

 Like this! pictured here with a rather delighted Monza who knew dinner was cooking for him.....These dolls are a present for photographic adventures.......

 This is the little doll that I repainted for the old guy....

And I also arrived home to a message about a free dolls house that I need to pick up out by Haworth on Saturday.....so yes all good on the doll front......

Dawn now. And yes I have walked all around the water with my Fluffee doll..... 

 Very cold with winter light this Friday. I wished I had worn gloves. I know that My plants will be happy as they are all in the sun room warm. It is very very cold out.

  I met  Babs , with her dog and daughter. I noted that they were wearing gloves and scarf this morning.... They asked about the doll and said good morning....there were plenty others out as well. It struck me that there are way too many about for me today....

 I took a few photos.

 ..... then headed past the boat house. Said a quick good morning, showed the old guys the doll for this morning...they like to see which one i have out.....and then home for tea. A very lot of tea and to put on the heating.

 .

 .Fluffee is a big doll. Also she came to me dressed in bright yellow. This morning people stared at me even more than usual....It is possible to overlook a Barbie doll in the dawn light...this girl was impossible to miss......

 

 ...

   The last day of September. 

Monza has insisted that we go to bed  as we have to be up early again tomorrow. WE?? I mean me. I will  hopefully be up to take more photos.

The dolls from my big haul are all still waiting to be washed and redressed and the dolls house I was given is waiting also for a clean and a make over I have plenty to fill my days off this week.

Dolls house certainly does need a clean!!!!!

And here are some more photos I did of Fluffee....I really am going to have to rename her!

 When she first arrived,,,,,

 A new dress found in Otley. I have found that she fits nicely into toddlers clothes.....

Good night. And good bye to September. October tomorrow and the first day of October. Time to get out all my Halloween decorations and dolls. Oh goody!
