How did I choose to spend a precious few hours to myself this past weekend. Why, I went to one of the biggest and best thrift stores in the valley, that's how! I found some vintage sheets, a pair of Lucky jeans that fit me horribly, this Fisher Price barn for Henry. It still moos when you open the barn door. Sweet.
And like diamonds in the rough I found these beautiful dolls for Greta for $1.00!
I have found similar dolls at estate sales and antique stores. It seems we have started a collection. I wish I knew more about them. They are dressed in traditional garb from their respective countries, hand painted faces, made of cloth, and gorgeously designed clothing. As you can see I find them very photogenic. Here are a few we already had.
This girl is a bit different, with a plastic face. Still lovely.
This last doll I know is Venetian, said so on the tag when I bought her. I'm pretty sure the girl with the red clogs and flower embroidered skirt is Dutch. Maybe you can help me with the others.

Vintage Fisher Price is just ever so nice, and great quality as well. The dolls are adorable, think you a right about one being Dutch; the next one maybe Spanish. Hope you're all doing fine, although I can imagine that it feels a bit empty at the moment.
