I think a dolly (the kind you use to move appliances, etc.) is going to be involved. But I think that yes, they will be lovely. Good entrance plants. <br />I had the exact same thought about the taste of cilantro and how some people cannot abide it. Now I love cilantro but Brussels Sprouts can fuck right off as far as I'm concerned.

I guess these koi are really tame. <br />In looking at Dorothy Anne's cloth-skin, I can tell that it is all very fragile. I've had some experience with mending fragile material and it seems to me that one patch (handsewn, of course) leads to another as even the mending stress the fabric. And yes, she definitely has cracks. <br />I think you should make an appointment with a friend for pedicures. You will not regret it!

And I understand what you are saying- Hank and I can be frank and open with each other but not on quite the same level. <br />Dorothy Anne's head is not porcelain, but what they call "composite". I guess it was a pre-plastic material. Almost all of the dolls I've seen like her online have cracks and broken fingers. It was probably pretty sturdy but the years have taken its toll.

I think they're like cilantro -- some people like it and some hate it, and that has to do with variations in the way we all taste things. Some people think cilantro tastes like soap, and some think Brussels sprouts taste like old socks. I don't really taste either one that way, though, which I guess is why I like them.<br /><br />Interesting about the doll. I'm trying to imagine what HC could stand for. Probably (something) Company.

She delt in dolls on the antique market, so I got to learn some of the history of dolls. If you ever would like to have your doll restored, I have the name of a fabulous restorer of old dolls. You'd have to ship to Ohio, but she'd gladly do it. She would look brand new. She does wonderful work with composition. She wouldn't look so scary. But some like keeping the doll as is and I get it. Let me know and I'll shoot off her facebook page and you can see her work. She's extremely reasonable, too. <br />Paranormal Johnanonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02520924185089589466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-66513962856314246602022-08-15T19:46:34.248-04:002022-08-15T19:46:34.248-04:00https://www.google.com/search?q=%22little+buttercu...https://www.google.com/search?q=%22little+buttercup%22+horsman+doll&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjzjeSlq9_MAhXCdz4KHakdBkQQsAQIHA&biw=1680&bih=953<br />Linda Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070050388987072100noreply@blogger.com
