Happy Tuesday!!! These are my New 'babies'.....They are sooo beautiful and sweet!
These antique German heads were dug up out of the ground where old doll factories
used to exist in Germany.....they still have some dirt on them....here is a link to a blog
about just one of the gentleman that does this.....the artist has pics of him in the ground.
The gentleman in the pics is the same gentleman my Mother had purchased doll parts from
about 8yrs ago..(he sent her pics also)....A very interesting Man and a very interesting
story of how these doll parts are obtained..........

Virginia, I love this post, thanks for sharing it with all of us. I think these antique frozen Charlotte dolls and heads are adorable. I've always wondered why so many are broken, now I know why.
