One of the best bric-a-brac markets takes place from time to time near to the Stade at the end of the Sablettes beach. This stall had a display of old dolls - poupées in French.
My sister has a doll collection that has overtaken her house. My grandkids think that it's real creepy and don't like to sleep there when we visit. I have just a few dolls I display on a very high cabinet that I keep out of our dogs' reach; seems they like them better than my grandchildren do!
Yes, I had a china headed doll, too. With a rigid body. But she bit the dust in some cowboy shootout when my interests diverged that way aged about 10 ...
elles sont belles, ma maman fait collection de poupées, alors vive les brocantes
ReplyDeleteThey have passed through careful hands to remain in that state. I wonder if young girls really played with.
ReplyDeleteI too wonder who loved them, once-upon-a-time. Lovely photos!

ReplyDeleteMy aunt is a doll collector. I'll send her the link to your blog. When she sees these dolls I think she'll be ready to book her ticket to France.
ReplyDeleteI remember having a china headed baby doll. I tried to be so careful but I think she might have gotten broken. :(

The photos are great.
ReplyDeleteBut I think the dolls have a mad glance, or?
Ya... once loved! Enjoyed this one. Brought back some memories of sisters dolls. Cool shot.
