Hello Dear Readers,
After some spend heavy months, I am taking June off from Vintage. I'm going to focus on enjoying what I have, cleaning up dolls, and getting dolls on display. I have a lot of things to work on, and going to spend the time chipping away at the things that have been waiting for their time to get cleaned up.
I'm going to set myself a goal of getting one doll dressed per week, it's a pretty simple goal, but I have other stuff I should be working on too, so I don't want to overwhelm myself or hyper focus on just dolls and ignore other stuff I really need to be doing.
I spent yesterday working on organizing and got two dolls ready for display.
This doll is a redress, she was wearing Black Magic but I decided to go for something a little more casual. I've been working on the shirt for a few weeks. It has a stubborn tan stain all over the back, but it's been bleached so much it practically glows in the dark! She's wearing the wrong hat and (not shown) shoes, and I don't have any of the accessories, but that gives me something to look for when I'm back to vintage shopping. That being said, I don't really have a great way to display her accessories with her, so it's not a massive issue she doesn't have any of them.
This doll is a newer doll. She was a last minute splurge, and one that I really shouldn't have gotten. She came on the wrong body and it was harrowing swapping her to the right body. She has a hair cut, but luckily her hair isn't as brittle as some other oxidized TNT dolls. She's wearing Cool Casuals with fabric that originally was used for the Little Red Riding Hood Little Theater outfit. I was surprised how high cut the bottom of the top is. It's a very scanty top! She's wearing repro shoes, but only because I'm still deciding what vintage shoes to get her. She's got very Ann Margaret vibes to her and I would like to get her into some vintage footwear, but we'll see what I have.
