First Time I've Seen These

Have you ever heard about these?

Vintage Tramp Art Doll Beds 

Well I had never heard of them either!

Of course until I ran across this ad in our

local Facebook Market.

A gal was advertising the pair with the handmade bedding

for $10 and yes it was local but not really local enough

it would be a bit of a drive.

These beds made using cigar boxes and wood clothespins 

for the bed posts! Very Clever wish i had thought of

that when I was young setting up my dolls house.

Once the seller knew of my interest she was thrilled you see

these had been in the family some time and really wanted them 

to go to a good home. I told her it would be a bit of a drive 

and I would have to give it some thought. And then she made an offer

that was nearly impossible to refuse.

She would leave them out on her porch 

and they were mine for free! 

Time went by

and I was just not able to make the trip most 

weekends I work.

But then finally a day came, hubby 

and I were going to take a drive to Santa Barbara

for our Anniversary. So I reached out and arranged the pic-up

not sure she even still had them, she did and placed 

the bag out on her porch.

We continued on our drive up the coast.

It was a lovely day.

Hope you enjoyed the share!

Stay Well,

Finding Vintage Dolls in Random Places!

This is exactly what I spotted on a shelf at my local Goodwill Thrift Shop

I must say it looked pretty messed up but in looking a little closer

I spotted one of my favorites.... a Nancy Ann Storybook Doll!

When I got it home I carefully Removed the massive amount 

of tape that was wrapped around this grouping.

Being ever so cautious not to cause too much damage.

Do you spot what I spotted the little doll with the 

pale ink bonnett?

Now the other dolls that were in that little plastic tub

were not impressive but I do know that just sometimes

those cheap hard plastic dolls body parts can come in handy

when I have a long forgotten Storybook Doll

that in fact is in need of a new limb!

You ask "how much did I pay for these?"

A whole $2.99.. not a bad find!! 😊
