Daphne is a boudoir doll. I adore her! I have patterns and a collection of composition boudoir dolls.
How wonderful! I would enjoy hearing more about your collections😍✨
Love learning about all the dolls you find.
Thanks Dena! 😍✨
Wow Love the antique doll.- My mother was born in 1918, so I actually felt emotional seeing that date. She lived to be 90 and had a more modern porcelain doll in her bedroom for many years. (Yes, I am old- born in 1939 and still loving dolls and dolls' houses.) Today, ten of my tiny dolls arrived after being restrung by a talented woman close to my age. I love your 'doll sleuthing"!
Aw Maroulio, I enjoyed your comment so much! So wonderful to hear about your mother and your own love of dolls. I have to give much thanks to you and others that help me sleuth! 🥰✨
I’m always interested in the aging of dolls, antiques vs reproductions. Good video 😃
Hi Beth🤗 Ah me too! I don't know much, but my knowledge is growing. I love researching and looking things up that help me solve my puzzles. Thanks for your comment! 😍✨
Great dolls! Thanks, Kathleen
Thanks friend! 😘✨
Lovely video thank you for sharing ❤😊
Thank you so much Suzanne. I'm so glad you stopped by to watch 😍✨
wow, what treasures!!!!
Thanks for watching and for your comment Lisa 😍✨
That writing is so interesting, and makes it so personal! I like the dress on the rag doll. I think it's very pretty. ❤
The waiting on the doll made me click "buy"! 😍✨
Hi Dot! All the dolls are so charming 🤩 Love the eyes of the boudoir doll. She’s very sassy. The painted face of the German China Doll is so sweet. What a find! 😍
She is sassy! I've had her sitting with the other dolls since I made the video and she seems quite content. It's interesting to me how the slightest detail in painting can really affect the personality of a doll. I'm crazy about Margie, Louisie's China doll. I'm so grateful for her bit of history. 😍✨
@@thedollcupboard ❤️
Plus, I imagine that the second face would have been a iron on transfer that went with the pattern. She would have been made from a pattern which are still available as well as costume patterns.
Thanks for that information! I considered that she might be iron on. Would love to view some of these patterns. Would you be able to direct me what to look up online? 😍✨
Hi Dot that was great! I really loved seeing your china dolls close up. The boots on the real antique doll are so pretty. They could be old replacements. The originals might have been more crude looking. I would definitely keep them on her because the doll and those boots have probably been together a long time. You mentioned the one reproduction doll had her legs stitched together and wow that is pretty weird. I have never seen that before. I don't know the purpose unless that was their way of keeping the china feet from clanking together and chipping. A better way to achieve that purpose is to use a small old wooden thread spool and push a rubber band through the hole so that each leg can be slipped through each loop of elastic poking out the holes on the ends if that makes sense. If you have small stringing elastic that can work too and probably would be easier to thread through the holes in the spool, then tie a knot after you have both ends of elastic through and the legs secure. That was sweet of you to mention my name. You didn't have to do that. I am happy to assist you with any further such purchases. I love china dolls too as you know. Just now getting things back to normal after our cruise and could settle down and watch this video. How tall is the antique doll????? I might have a simple dress pattern that would fit her.
Diana! I missed you! I am so excited to share something new with you! I'll share a post on Instagram tomorrow but you'll see in my video tomorrow. (12 PT) 😄 I'm starting to "get" it with the Chinas. I agree that Margie's boots are replacements. Thanks for weighing in on the legs tied together. I was thinking same that it would keep them from clanking. I'll have to re read your post about the spools tomorrow when I'm awake. Lol. I'm on a doll "high " right now with the Chinas. I'm sure you had a wonderful cruise. Looking forward to sharing dolls with you 🥰😍✨
Great doll 👌
Thanks Amo! 😍✨
Oh my God my real name, the first one. Her eyes look funny. Very interesting to find these types of dolls, so fun.
Aha, now I know it "D"! 😂 How funny is that? It's not a common name at all. I think her eyes look a little funny because her upper lashes slant inward. I thought that was odd also, but was how the template was made. 😍✨
I wasn’t a fan of dolls either, but I did like paper dolls. I would spend hours cutting up the Sears catalog….but I cut out the furniture and set up houses for them.
All the dolls are nice finds. I would like to find some of the dolls that were printed on flour sacks. They were cut out and stitched and stuffed.
Aw that's so sweet! I can just imagine creating a little 2 dimensional world for your paper dolls. 👯♀️👯♀️👯♀️👯♀️🥰 Ooh that would be amazing to find a flour sack doll Please share when you do! 😍✨
The 1918 doll has a beautiful face. Maybe someday you can find some antique arms for Margie that are the appropriate size.❤
Oh, doesn't she just? I'll be on the lookout. Her lack of an arm doesn't seem to bother her in the least somI suspect it's been gone a very long time. 🤣✨😍
@@thedollcupboard Put her in a long sleeve dress and fagetanoutit.😀
Can I suggest you look into a lady who inherited her mother’s doll store. She’s from the USA, her name is Rachel Hoffman. She and her staff are very knowledgeable in these types of dolls.
Hi Dianne.🤗 I'm am well aware of Rachel. Hers is one of the first doll channels I subscribed to 😍✨
Love this channel!
Thank you!
Awsome Haul!
Thank you Vampi 😍✨
@@thedollcupboard I love old porslin dolls too. :-)
She looks like a handmade Boudoir doll.
I'm glad you think so. I like to hope she's handmade. 😍✨
Hello, The arm and legs on the 1918 doll look to be in proportion to the size of the head , they could very well be the original one's, they often don't match exactly in colour as they will have been made at different times, the fabric looks like it has been damp at some point and has mildew stains, it could have been stored away for years and older houses were often damp. some antique dolls have very long arms coming down past their knees, I know nothing about ragdolls other than they were mostly home made.
Best wishes from Yorkshire, England 🇬🇧
Diane thank you so very much for your informative comment! So reassuring that all her parts might be original. I appreciate you sharing your knowledge. 😍✨
I am a knitter. I wash every kind of wool like her hair. I use special wool wash . Rinse and squeeze out in a towel . Lay flat to dry. I would wash all of her with this special non rinse soap.
Hi Liddy🤗 I'm a knitter too! What a great idea! I never even considered treating wool wigs like wool sweaters 🤣 I have Euclan which is no rinse, and Unicorn Baby - Beyond Fibre. Do you have a wash you recommend? Thank you for your comment! 😍✨
@@thedollcupboard I use Euclan also . Tried others but like this one. Also like I don’t have to rinse if I don’t need to .
@liddymarsh931 👍🏻 me too!
I think Daphne was completely hand-made. She's a boudoir doll, which were always large to sit on ones bed. Not really playthings.❤
Hi Vicki🤗 I hadn't considered Daphne might be completely hand made. I agree that she's a boudoir doll. She's far too large for a little one to cart around in her buggy! Do you have any boudoir dolls! 😍✨
@thedollcupboard I don't own any. I've watched various Utubers who collect dolls who own a few. Also, two channels that are doll shops.
I am so excited to find your channel! New subscriber😊. I was so excited to see your new antique China head doll. I recently found one at a thrift store and her head looks identical to yours! I am just editing my video now to show how I fixed her up. I am really loving learning about antique dolls. Thanks for showing the differences between antique and reproduction. 😃
Hi Lavender🤗 I'm so happy you're here. Sounds like you have a channel too! Yay, we need more doll channels. I will stop over and look forward to your China doll video 😍✨
@@thedollcupboard Thanks so much! I am just learning how to restring dolls from your channel. This is so helpful! Nice to meet you. 😊
@lavendermoon487 Aw nice to meet you to. This is the BEST community.
@@thedollcupboard It sure is. I love many types of dolls. I love antique ones but here in Canada they are not as easy to come across. It is always such a thrill to find one in the wild to fix up. 💕
DON'T WASH HER, I LOVE HER. SHE'S BEEN WELL LOVED. GOOD BUY FO 50 CENT
No, I won't wash her. She doesn't really need it. I washed her clothes. I hope fate has more rag dolls in store for me. 😍✨
