\"Bonnie<\/a>

SOLD<\/p><\/div>\n

ALL\u00c2\u00a0 DOLLS ARE SOLD<\/p>\n

My mother, Dollie Manning, was a very talented doll maker.\u00c2\u00a0 For several years, she teamed up with Lezette Thomason who sold the Lilliputian dolls at sewing events such as the Martha Pullen School of Art Fashion.\u00c2\u00a0 Most of the dolls are signed, but a few were missed in the rush to meet a deadline.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"makingdollsmX\"<\/a>

This illustration is on the front of an old Needlecraft magazine. I love those old covers.\u00c2\u00a0 I’m not sure what the crutch is about, but the image reminds me of my mother surrounded by her dolls.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The prices are shown but do not include shipping or insurance.\u00c2\u00a0 If you would like any of these babies, just leave your request as a comment or send an e-mail to NCcabin@aol.com.<\/p>\n

I’ve held onto these dolls for several years, gifting some<\/a> to my granddaughters and putting others away for future birthdays and Christmas presents.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 But these naked babies need to be liberated from the drawer in my sewing room.\u00c2\u00a0 They also need some clothes!<\/p>\n

Bonnie Babe Bow<\/em><\/strong><\/del> (there is another just like her but without the bow,<\/del> shown further down) is just a precious little girl and so cute when she wears a smocked bishop dress.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Coquette<\/a>

SOLD<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

This little charmer, Coquette,\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/em> looks like the little girls in the1925-35 Needlecraft Magazine illustrations.<\/del><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Josh<\/a>

SOLD<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Josh<\/strong><\/em> has an official name that I can’t recall.<\/del>\u00c2\u00a0 But when Mildred Turner saw it she declared he looked just like her grandson Joshua.\u00c2\u00a0 So that’s what we called him.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"BigBoy\"<\/a>

SOLD<\/p><\/div>\n

Big Boy<\/strong><\/em> becomes a pretty girl when dressed in lace and batiste.<\/del><\/p>\n

These small dolls are such fun to dress.\u00c2\u00a0 Scraps of fine fabrics and laces are enough to make the tiny heirloom dresses these antique reproduction dolls deserve.\u00c2\u00a0 Won’t you adopt one?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Sugar<\/a>

SOLD<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sugar Britches<\/strong><\/em> are easy to dress and relatively sturdy.<\/del>\u00c2\u00a0 My granddaughter Laurel played with her own Sugar Britches (on carpet) when she was three years old.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Bonnie<\/a>

SOLD<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

This Bonnie Babe<\/strong><\/em> is identical to Bonnie Babe Bow<\/del>, but without the bow.\u00c2\u00a0 This doll is gender neutral.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Smiley\"<\/a>

SOLD<\/p><\/div>\n

\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Smiley<\/strong><\/em> <\/del>has an Asian cousin Smiley made from Asian slip.\u00c2\u00a0 That Smiley is all loosey-goosey and needs to be restrung, but if your are interested, please let me know.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"BigBabyX\"<\/a>

SOLD<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Big Baby<\/strong><\/em> is one of my favorites.\u00c2\u00a0<\/del> It reminds me of my own chubbalicious children before they walked.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"LornaX\"<\/a>

SOLD<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lorna<\/strong><\/em> has the body of an active 7-10 year old.<\/del>\u00c2\u00a0 She reminds me of my dgd Laurel.\u00c2\u00a0 I always thought she would be stunning in a dropped waist dress.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Fat<\/a>

SOLD<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

My friend Suzanne Sawko calls Fat Baby<\/strong><\/em> Matthew, because her son with that name weighed 32 lbs. at 12 months!<\/del>\u00c2\u00a0 She said he looked just like this.\u00c2\u00a0 Talk about thunder thighs!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Marla<\/a>

SOLD<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lezette had bishop patterns for several of these dolls.\u00c2\u00a0 I’ll ask her if they are still available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
