Author: ConnieZink • Discussion: No Comments

Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great holiday season and are enjoying the New Year! Wow, 2019 is here. I am looking forward to a brand new year and many dolls are in the works for this year along with new online classes and other things. I just finished putting together these two Bleuettes and a “Friend”! Tonight I am offering them as undressed dolls. I am hoping by Monday to get them dressed and then they will be available dressed or undressed. Undressed they are $325.00 each, dressed they will be $375.00.

The first one is made from the Seeley “Premiere Jumeau” mold. She has blue paperweight glass eyes, a pale blonde mohair wig and hand carved teeth.

I just love this 1907 Jumeau Bleuette “Friend”. She is made from a Jean Nordquist Collectible Doll Company Mold. She has brown glass paperweight eyes and a blonde mohair wig with hand carved teeth.

This is the Premiere Jumeau Bleuette made from the Jean Nordquist Collectible Doll Co. mold. She has brown glass paperweight eyes, a mohair wig, and hand carved teeth. All dolls are available undressed for $325.00 plus shipping. Please contact me at 815-565-0024 or email me at landofozdolls@mchsi.com if you are interested in purchasing. Layaways are available.

20″ Mlle. Florence by Connie Zink

Good afternoon, I am pleased to share with you my newest doll that has just been listed on my “Dolls For Sale” page.

This doll is available as both an undressed doll on a composition body or purchased as head only with glass paperweight eyes and mohair wig.

This beautiful, museum quality 20” Mlle. Florence F.G. (F. Gaultier) undressed antique reproduction lady doll was lovingly created, in the U.S.A. by “Millie” winning, world renowned artist, Connie Zink of Land of Oz Dolls. Connie has had 38 years experience in making authentic antique reproduction and modern dolls. Connie’s studio is located in the rolling hills of beautiful, northwest Illinois, along the Mississippi River. This doll is made from the Seeley mold S-134 Mlle. Florence. The artistry is superb with wonderfully detailed French eyebrows, beautifully spaced eyelashes, perfectly shaped lips with accents, and a hint of eye shadow. Her complexion is flawless. Her porcelain head is on a FLB16S composition lady body from New York Doll Products. The body resembles an old leather body but is made from a latex composition that will last for years. This is the last of these bodies I have available so last one that can be sold on the FLB16S composition body. She has beautiful brown paperweight eyes. She is wearing an exquisite old store stock of a Global light brown mohair Baby Lauren wig. I have been saving this beautiful wig for just the right doll and I believe this Mlle. Florence is the perfect doll for wig.

Her metal base doll stand is included. Hat is shown for display purposes only and is not included with doll. If you are looking to add an exquisite Mlle. Florence Lady Doll to your collection of antique reproduction dolls, this may be the one for you. Undressed as shown this doll is $475.00. Head, glass eyes, and wig only is also an available purchase option. Cost for head only is $295.00. Shipping on head only within continental U.S. is $10.00 Shipping and insurance to continental U.S for complete doll is $30.00 by United Parcel Service. Shipping costs will be more if she needs to ship by USPS because of size and weight of box. International shipping fees will be calculated upon request.

Last Chance to Order NYDP Composition Bodies, Molds, Porcelain Slip and China Paints at the 10% Discount!!!!

Author: ConnieZink • Discussion: 2 Comments

November 22nd 2013 FF Dolls 011

The final days have arrived for the 10% discount sale on New York Doll Products (Seeley’s) Composition Bodies, Molds, Porcelain Slip, and China Paints. Sale prices are only good on orders placed through Land of Oz Dolls. Sale ends at midnight, Friday, February 6th. Inquiries and orders must be sent to landofozdolls@mchsi.com by midnight, Friday night. My distributorship ends on Sunday, February 8th, so I will be removing the NYDP porcelain slip and composition body pages from my website this weekend.

I am also a distributor for The Bell Collection and Collectible Doll Co., so will be concentrating on these companies and will be happy to continue to serve my customers with Bell and Collectible doll products, such as porcelain slip, doll molds, doll bodies, china paints, brushes, etc. I will also be adding pages to my website for composition bodies made from Compo-Bell we will be manufacturing ourselves. Bodies may also be ordered in porcelain, in both SFGW and bisque. We have many, many sizes of antique reproduction body molds in French, German, Baby, Toddler, and Lady styles that will be available in both painted and unpainted pieces poured in Compo-Bell. Body parts may be purchased unstrung and you can string yourself.

Ordering the parts and stringing them yourself will reduce shipping prices as the boxes used to ship can be smaller, which in turn will reduce shipping costs. Most shipping companies have now gone to dimensional rates instead of rates determined by weight for packages that don’t weigh a lot.

Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with or if you have any questions. Please contact me at landofozdolls@mchsi.com or phone 815-565-0024. Thanks!

Dolly Hugs,
