Vintage Dolls - On the Hunt for 'Nancy Ann' - Story Book Dolls

Hi Friends,

I'm so glad your here!

I've have been on the hunt for "Nancy Ann" story book dolls to add to my collection.

Today, I'm so excited to share some super cute "Story Books Dolls" I found at a online auction, last week.

This lot of 13 "Story Book" Dolls I paid $45.19.

in order to get a great price of $3.50 for each doll.

***

I'm focus on buying bisque dolls with frozen legs because they are a bit older dolls.

***

Out of this lot I purchase three dolls with painted eyes, unfortunate the dolls were all made of hard plastic.

Their still super adorable!

Because, I bid on a lot of dolls I ended up with a variety of plastic sleepy eye Nancy Ann-"Story Book" dolls.

Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to stop by to see what treasures I have found out thrifting this week.

I would love to hear what you have found thrifting and how you style it in your home.

So until my next post......

May God Bless You and Your Family,

Spring/ Easter Vignettes on My Vintage Record Player in the Entry room

Hi Friends,

I'm so glad your here!

Today, I'm so excited to share how I have styled a few vignettes on my Vintage Claro-phonic Cabinet Record Player

The first grouping, I've just used a hand-crocheted doily on top of a checkered place mat a few vintage thread spools, a couple of green pharmacy bottles and a cast-iron candles holder I found thrifting.

*****

This vignette I brought in the cute green garlic jar, I think works well together with the Royal Copley Hen and Rooster.

another wonderful vintage post-card post-marked April 12, 1911 Carleton, Michigan nestled in a cream color 'Hull' planter

*****

Lastly, I grouped another 'Royal Copley rooster another vintage Easter post-card I used one of my emerald green tea cup and added Easter grass and a few hand-painted eggs a thrifted vase and a S&P hen on a silver-plate platter.
