This year has brought on my love of not only Frozen Charlotte dolls (which I posted about many moons ago) but also a love for German doll heads. It seems to be the thing I search for on those rare trips to my favorite shops. They can also be found on ebay, but many of these came form my friend Kristin's shop Retro Cafe Art. Seems like any time I have a sale in my etsy shop, I head over to her shop and purchase a few of these dear heads.
I have them displayed in my studio on the top of a large cubby storage system. The doll on the far right belonged to my great grandmother and now she has lots of friends.
I really like this part of the display because these crystals came from my Grandma Betty's chandelier from her old haunted house in Youngstown, NY. The home was part of the Underground Railroad and had several spirits walking about. Oh how I would love to visit that beautiful house. Maybe one day...
I love this little tiny one that I purchased from Kristen. It is less then an inch tall and she does a fabulous job with cutting them even so I can just stand her right up. Yes, in time I will use more in my art work like the one below, but for now I just like to look at them all and think of the story of where they came from.
I am currently finishing up a collage that I made for Cassandra's design team. It will fit in perfectly with my doll heads and I will share it with you soon.

Have a Merry Christmas and a fabulous holiday, whichever it may be that you celebrate.

Rhonda,
This collection is most beautiful. I had never heard of them before, but I love their rosy cheeks. I especially like the family touch that you have added on from your Great Grandmother's original one. So sweet.
Have a lovely holiday to you and your family.
