Welcome to another Show and Tell Sunday. The theme this weekend is best Flea Market Find. When I found this lovely doll she was sitting amongst various neglected cookie tins. Her dress was "gold" in color it was so dirty. She was very dusty and had lost her shoes and socks.She is not a Lenci Doll but she certainly does have those charming side glancing eyes. I knew she was vintage and I think she is most likely a Chad Valley or Norah Wellings doll.
I think she is beautiful !
After 3 hand washings I managed to discover a white dress with
sweet little polka dots.
My Auntie ~ Teddy Bear Artist Brenda Power ~ had vintage green felt the exact color I needed! I made a new pair of shoes from a Lenci pattern. I think they turned out quite well.

She is beautiful! I love her face and her outfit!
Is her face fabric? She's wonderful! My mom has a collection of old dolls (the kids call them the scary dolls) but I've never seen one like yours. Blessings... Polly

Hi Karen,

I can't believe how good the dress turned out! Wow, it looks like new.
Oh how I love your doll. Isn't she just the sweetest? She makes me smile. Blessings
Oh Karen...she is so lovely. So nice to see an older doll in such great shape...considering the work you had to do to get her clean...and considering her probable age. Great job on the shoes!
Talk soon.
Hugs, Nancy
What a find! She is beautiful and so lucky to have been found by someone who is clever enough to make those fancy shoes! Perfect!
Oh I love felt dolls. There is something so special about them. By the way I love the pink wall paper. I will get back to you on that I have been crazy busy with things. Thanks for your help.
