‘Lucy’ A Berenguer Sucky Lip Doll was bought at a steam rally for an incredible £10!! So there are still bargains to be had out there, she has a wig rather than rooted hair but she is just perfect for my tastes, I prefer them to be not overly blotchy or with too many blue veins. She is wearing the same clothing as ‘Charlotte’ on the next page and holding a coral and bells silver rattle.

‘Rachel’ Large toddler doll from about 1995, she has had a long curly wig added and is wearing a Victorian/Edwardian coat and hat, the hat has had some more vintage lace added to it. She is holding a brass chain from the little French toy horse c1900.

‘Scott’ A very small doll bought around 15 years ago from a car boot for 50p, but not in the vintage clothing he is now wearing. His small cape and bonnet of an unknown date possibly 30’s if anyone knows I would be very grateful if you would please email.

Above babies stockings, complete with suspenders which have ’Baby’ written on them. the elastic is missing, Left a pair of child’s white canvas boots in need of a new lace.
