Dolls from Days Gone By
December 20, 2025
Today my share is two dolls that came from my sister-in-law’s husband’s family that came to me because to pass them on to my grandnieces but as these things go, I have not done that yet (and now they are probably not young enough to play with them and not old enough to appreciate the level of craft that went into the outfits). As they’ve been stored in a Christmas card box, seemed appropriate to share them for Holidailies (not that I stick to holiday content for that project but still). So here, they are, a girl and a boy in red and white outfits crocheted from fine thread, with fine details like the belt on her dress and the tiny buttons on his overalls.
I don’t know who dressed these dolls or when. I hope whoever it was would be happy to know they’re still being appreciated.
