Author: ConnieZink • Discussion: 1 Comment

18" JDK 221, 12" Chubby JDK 221, 12" Thin JDK 221

Welcome back to Land of Oz Dolls!

Hi everyone, sorry it has been so long since I have posted on the website. I have had major issues with my website for almost a year and a half. Awhile back I had a major Word Press update that went through and wiped out all of my shopping cart buttons and left none of them working. I am going to let you in on a little secret! I struggle with all the modern technology that keeps this website running smoothly. Back in November I changed website hosts and it fixed some of my issues but not the shopping cart buttons. However yesterday was the day, do or die! I sat down for 14 1/2 hours yesterday in front of this computer and made up my mind I would fix my issues or die trying. I watched a ton of YouTube videos until I found the one that explained my whole problem! Yes! I fixed it. I have a lot to update on the website and many things to republish I had taken down when things weren’t working correctly, but YES I am back up and running. In celebration of this website renewal I am listing my two newest Googly’s for sale on here before they are listed on eBay. They will both be offered as a dressed doll and an undressed doll.

Let’s get started with sharing my two newest Googly (JDK 221’s) with you! I currently have an Online Googly Class running and this is my first samples from the class I finished last week. The larger one, the 18″ JDK 221 undressed Googly is not currently for sale. She is visiting the seamstress (Pam Willits) and is having an adorable red and white pinafore and dress made for her. So when she is all dressed she will be here to show off for you. Dennis and I made her composition body and it is just adorable. She is the largest Googly I have made. More about her later! Now on to the other two Googly’s that are for sale.

I will start with the 12″ JDK 221 Googly on the thinner body. She is actually about Bleuette size. She has brown vintage glass eyes, a size 7-8 light brown mohair braided wig, and an adorable little school dress with underwear made by Sue Sharp of The Sharp Needle. She has red leather shoes and nylon stockings and comes with a wooden base stand.

Now let’s move on to the 12″ Chubby Googly JDK 221. This Googly is on the shorter chubbier B-258 composition body Dennis and I made. She has an adorable upsweep synthetic mohair wig with long tendrils from Monique Trading. She has blue blown glass German eyes, black vinyl shoes, nylon stockings, wooden base doll stand, and the most adorable dress and underwear made by Sue Sharp of The Sharp Needle. She is also available as both a dressed doll or undressed doll. Both dolls are just the cutest little Googly’s. Only one of each available! First come first serve! I will list them on eBay in a couple days but giving my website customers first chance at both of these dolls.

Also hopefully the new 18” JDK 221 will hopefully in the next week or so sporting her new red and white polka dot dress! Have a great “Dolly” day and talk to you all soon!
