Author: ConnieZink • Discussion: 2 Comments

Land of Oz Dolls will be participating in the “All River Road Talent” Art Drive Saturday, February 6th and Sunday, February 7th. Hours will be 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday and 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Sunday. If you are in the area please stop by and see the beautiful doll room displays of antique reproduction and modern dolls that are for sale. I have a collection of modern artist dolls that I am selling for a friend who has moved into a smaller place and does not have room for them anymore so some great bargains are available. Mail orders will also be available for dolls and supplies.

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:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/111517969166?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 .

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

Good Luck and Happy Bidding if you are interested! Have a great Dolly Day!
