Daisy and Daisyette

18″ Daisy and Daisyette (Bleuette Friend)

Good afternoon everyone. I am just finishing up some Daisy and Daisyette orders for finished dolls for Christmas. Two more Daisyette’s and I will be current on orders. Both of these, Daisy and Daisyette, have been spoken for but I will begin taking new orders for them now. The costumes were made by Pam Willits. The matching wigs in the photos of both dolls together are Kemper Daisy mohair wigs. The photo of the last Daisyette is of the Global mohair Daisy wig in size 6-7. I will soon have several of that wig coming in, in the Daisy size 8-9 also. Daisy is such a great doll, originally brought out in 1911 by Ladies Home Journal. If you are wanting to add a Daisy or smaller size Daisyette to your collection please let me know so I can get your name on the waiting list for a finished doll. SFGW and supplies to make your own Daisy is also available. Email me with any questions or to place your order: landofozdolls@mchsi.com . Have a great week!! Connie Zink

Great Buy On 29″ Bru 14 Head Only On Ebay Right Now! 5 Day Auction!

Author: ConnieZink • Discussion: No Comments

29″ Bru 14 Head on Ebay

Good evening all, I hope you are having a great weekend! I wanted to let you all know I have listed a beautiful 29″ Bru 14 painted head with Hand English brown paperweight eyes on ebay tonight in a 5 day auction. Due to the size of this doll I have decided it would be much easier to sell her as a head only with eyes, then she can be wrapped really well for shipping. Someone may have already the FB230S composition body that she needs,and will be able to pop the head on and have an exquisite 29″ Bru 14 to dress. Even if you need to purchase the body, it is much easier and less expensive to safely ship the head and the body separately. Also, currently the body (FB230S) is on sale from me for 20% off the retail price. Regularly $198.00 on sale for $159.00. (All composition bodies are on sale until November 30th). Discounted prices will not register in shopping cart buttons you must email me for special pricing.

The 5 day auction listing consists of the painted head, Hand English paperweight eyes, and cork pate. The head is ready to attach to a body. The wig is not included in the listing but I do have it available in several colors. The hat she is shown in is also not included, it is only for decorative purposes so you can see how beautiful she will be once she is dressed. Here is a link to the ebay listing:

Here are more photos of this beautiful Bru that you have an opportunity to get at a great price!

French Doll History

Author: ConnieZink • Discussion: 1 Comment

Good evening everyone! I hope you all have had a great weekend. Are you ready to sit down, relax with a cup of tea, and enjoy reading some French Doll History? About ten to fifteen years ago when my daughter worked for me, she compiled together some history of some of the more popular French Doll Companies. Many who make authentic antique reproductions like to study the history of the original antiques, after having enjoyed these pages on my old website for years, I decided to also move them onto this newer site. This will give you a brief summary of some of the wonderful old French doll makers such as Bru, Jumeau, Steiner, etc.

Just click on the link to the French history doll pages: French Dolls History

Have a great evening and enjoy a little bit of French Doll History!
