Vintage Sissel Skille Gotz Doll Thrift Store Find!

Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends!

As I told you in my last post about a vintage Gotz Doll find I found two that day!
Finally getting here to show you the second one. This one is so beautiful and I just love her!

She is, I think, 19inches tall, and is in fabulous shape! She came in her box and, just like the other one, I got her for $14.99. Where I said I will likely sell the other one who is numbered, I am more than likely going to keep this beautiful doll for my own collection. 

She's got such a beautiful face sculpt made by Sissel Skille and I am so glad I will have her in my collection. There is more information about her specific sculpt in this blog post. 

She came in her beautiful meet outfit of a little navy blue coat with a white dress and tights under. 

I know my posts are rather short with regards to writing of late but I've been working overtime at work for a few months and... Well, there is only a finite amount of hours in a week! I am also so sorry I've been horrible about answering the sweet comments and questions I've gotten in my comments section... I read them all, I've just been dismal at getting a chance to answer. So, I am sorry about that. I'm hoping that someday soon, my life will slow down and get more peaceful and I'll have more time and will get a chance to go back and answer them all. In the meantime, thanks for your readership and for any and all comments you've made! Means so much to me!

Better run!

Vintage 16inch Gotz Hildegard Gunzel Munich Girl Doll Thrift Store Find!

Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends!

Recently I found two amazing vintage Gotz Dolls at a local thrift store. The first one I am here to tell you about is this gorgeous Hildegard Gunzel doll that is a limited edition and even numbered!

She was in her box and, while I wasn't really looking to buy dolls that day, I just couldn't help myself. Because she's just so beautiful!

Just look at that face! Then look at that price! $14.99 is obviously a bit more than I normally pay for dolls at thrift stores but she was in her box and in perfect condition! 

She is number 53 out of only 1,200 that were produced! 

Her number and year were listed on her stomach. 

She is in her cute original outfit! 

Honestly 'numbered' dolls are not really my 'thing'... So this beauty is likely going to be listed on eBay soon to help me recoup her cost and maybe make a bit of money for other dolls too. I really think she should be in the collection of someone who's more 'in' to this kind of doll. 

I am super glad to have gotten to see her and take photos of her though! 

That's it for now Doll Friends!

Adora Doll Jasmine Takes A Walk! Doll Photography!

 

Hi Doll Friends!

I recently took a trip out to my brother's place and so decided to bring along Adora Doll Jasmine with me for Doll Photographs. I think I got some pretty great ones. 

Hope this finds you having a fantastic day!

Madame Alexander Kindness Club Harper 14 Inch Doll From Amazon!

Greetings and Salutations Doll Friends,

"Hello, my name is Heather, I am a doll-aholic"

Let's be clear, I am not trying to make light of anyone with a 'real' substance abuse issues. 

However, I think that dolls are a very real 'addiction' of mine because I can't seem to stop buying them.

Online shopping doesn't help matters, let me just say. 

Amazon has their 'suggested items' spider web for instance. They know what you like and so they suggest other items that are similar... Then they make it easy to watch said items with their wish lists. Dangerous!

So that's how I found out that Madame Alexander had added their own doll to the 14inch doll market last year. I threw my favorite one, Avi, on to my 'list' but I didn't plan on buying her because I was 'not buying any more dolls!!' and they were on the expensive side compared to Glitter Girls although not at all compared to Wellie Wishers. However, Amazon and their suggestions... They recently made me aware of an alternate Kindess Club doll being on sale for $18.80!! Like less than half the regular price!! Well... As you can see, that was too good a deal to pass up. I mean she wasn't the exact doll I wanted but she is still adorable and would allow me to add this gorgeous face sculpt to my collection! 

So here she is! Isn't she adorable?!

I didn't fully appreciate how lovely the face sculpt was until she arrived. 

Well done Madame Alexander!

She arrives in this really nice display box. 

The back of the box shows some of the line but only four of them. 

Here is the sides of the box. 

Here she is out almost out of the box...

She had the standard clear band ties holding her into the box. 

She also comes with this little insert inviting you to join the Madame Alexander Doll Club. 

Maybe someday I'll join and tell you all about it. 

Here is the photo of the whole group of Kindness Club I took off of Amazon. 

It's strange, the pricing discrepancy between the different members of the club. I'm not sure what the reasoning is but they run from $18.80 to nearly $50! So strange. 

 

I'm glad I bought her, she's so pretty! 

She comes wearing this cute little sequined jacket, a little dress, socks and shoes. 

She has blonde hair with a pink stripe in it and blue or nearly violet eyes. 

Here is the stamp on the back of her head. It says '2020 Madame Alexander'.

Here she is in her little dress after I took off the little jacket. 

**WARNING!! Doll Nudity in next photo!!**

You've been warned.

LOL

Her body is made out of all plastic with arms and legs are poseable. She comes in this little pair of white undies. 

She fit into the outfit that came on my most recently purchased Glitter Girls Doll Charlie that I got last August but realize now, after looking, that I never wrote about her. I had her in this post about Zita Elements Clothes for 14inch Dolls but poor dear never got her own post. 

In any case, this is her outfit and it fits Harper pretty well. I think her feet would probably be too big for her shoes if they didn't have open toes. 

Here is Charlie in Harper's outfit, it also fits pretty well although it's a bit loose, especially the shoes. 

Aren't they cute in each other's outfits?

So, I'm glad that she came to live in the Doll House. 

As a side note, I was able to resist another doll that currently has a really good price...

Kindred Heart Paige was on sale for $14.06 and then...

They put her on sale even cheaper for $13.27!

So far I haven't given into the temptation to buy her because I already own two Paige dolls that I've customized. This newer version has more make up on her face and I am tempted to buy her so I'll have one Paige as she comes with dark hair but...

So far, I've been good. 

Haha.

Better run!
