Vintage Thingies Thursday

Hello everyone! Welcome to another Vintage Things Thursday, hosted by Suzanne, of http://coloradolady.blogspot.com/search/label/Vintage%20Thingies%20Thursdays. Today, I would like to share some of my vintage dolls. First, I have my Ginny doll. She is from the 50's, and if you hold her waist, and put one foot in front of the other, she will walk and turn her head. She also has sleep eyes, and are the prettiest shade of blue. She had (at one time) red hair, and my sister had taken a pair of scissors to her, giving her a haircut. lol! She was nearly bald! I had taken her to a doll hospital several yrs ago, and had a new wig put on her, and bought her this pretty new dress. She is just darling, and I just love looking at her. I have a huge doll cabinet, that used to hold my dear father-in-laws cow creamers. We inherited the cabinet when he passed away in 1983. I can display the dolls in there, and they stay clean. Does anyone remember Tammy? This is mine from the early 60's. I had Tammy and Barbie, and my niece destroyed most of my collection. :( I kept everything pristine, and neat in the case, and I passed it down to her. I wish I still had it. I don't have any of the clothes for Tammy either accept what she is wearing here. I want to get the outfit called "school days" for her, but they are so expensive! I will just have to keep watching for one.

This next doll was given to me by my dear mother-in-law. She always went to garage sales and flea markets, and found the neatest stuff. I am not wild over this doll, but thought it was pretty funny. It is a Klumpe doll. Roldan and Klumpe dolls have a very specific and stylized look. They are made of cloth and felt, and were produced in Barcelona, Spain from the 1950s to early 1970s. Many of their dolls are tourist-oriented dolls of Flamenco dancers and Spanish ladies and men, but the companies also produced more unique and enchanting characters. She looks funny carrying her coat, poodle, hat box, and suitcase. From what I have read, they are pretty collectable now.

This little cutie I purchased at a thrift store. She was nice and clean and in good condition, so I picked her up for $2. Her eyes are a pretty shade of blue. They look like they are popping out in this picture. Pretty strawberry blonde hair, and a little piece of vintage millinary in her hair.

These are some vintage children's book's which I started to get hooked on from reading other blogs. lol! I thought the covers were just so sweet. I purchased these on e-bay. Unfortunately, there are no photos in them, which I was hoping for. One is from 1918, and the other from 1928.

I display them on my doll cabinet. Please stop over to Suzanne's to see the other participants, and their vintage treasures. Thanks for coming by!
