The doll was an exciting find! Saturday morning, Gail and I had dental appointments (just cleaning) on the north side of Columbus. As we were leaving I asked Gail if we could stop by my three favorite thrift stores on the way home. This was her first time 'round and she wasn't all that excited. I promised her lunch at her favorite resturant.
We entered a large independent store and I walked to the rear to check out the dolls. The 18" dolls sell for $3 (The price is always written on the bottom of one foot . . . with a black permanent marker). I usually find a Battat doll, although I once found an Alexander. I removed a doll from the shelf and began my inspection . . . hummm . . . excellent face and hair . . . a rather nice dress too.
Then I turned her over, lifted her hair, and read "PLEASANT COMPANY" molded into the back of her neck!
I didn't explain my find to Gail until we were back in the car. She said, "You enjoy the search and discovery, don't you." Well, she understands a bit more about me and my dolls. What is more difficult for someone else to understand is why I feel so happy when I'm working with my 'girls'.
Anyway, the tights and shoes are from Dori's Doll Boutique, my favorite place to shop for AG.
