About My 1950's Friends


No, Dear Bloggeroos, I don't mean you!

I'm talking about my Hard Plastic friends. Meet Ruby, this cute little doll is a Smiley Roddy Doll, she was in a very sorry and naked state when she arrived at Dollytub Cottage. After some TLC I made her the little dress and knickers she is wearing to cover up her "underneaths", (the TART!)

After several unsuccessful photographic attempts with my idiot-proof camera, (sigh! )I managed to capture her beauty!

Ruby hung around on ebay a while ago and has now emigrated to Australia. (Do you know - there's been no letter, no calls, no postcards, ungrateful little madam!)

I have a huge collection of 1950's dolls, but I'm having a break from selling on ebay at the moment. So I'm really enjoying their company for a while.

If any Bloggeroo has any vintage dolls they would like me to identify for them, please let me know!
