Last week I returned to the National Museum of Toys and Miniatures. The current exhibit is Portraits of Childhood: Black Dolls. Most of the dolls are from the mid - 1800s to modern day.
c. 1850-1870
Some of the clothes were amazing.
Mouth made of beads.
This jacket was embroidered.
Just beautiful.
These were the saddest.
They were crying.
I had a brownie doll once upon a time.
This is a flip doll.
I had a modern version of one of these.
The skirt flips reveal the other doll.
This is one of the first I saw that didn't have a flat face.
Barbie
There were 1000s dolls. I had taken so many pictures and I had to keep deleting pictures from this post. This collection of the dolls was amazing. Where would you keep them all? Some of the dolls are so old they could not just be stored in a box.
Our first round of snow is tonight/tomorrow, and the big storm is on Wednesday. I'm not sure what this week will hold.
Until tomorrow.
