The last day of August came with unexpected warmth, but since tomorrow is September, I decided to subtly decorate for fall anyway. The day was spent at my favorite café just before my lecture in church and cloister architecture in the Middle Ages. Now I am back home, with lots of tea again, studying some more while waiting for the cool evening to come. 🎞️🏛️🕰️☕️

Since I’m starting an antique doll collection, I figured I’d post about them here:

This is Liza and Helga, my two German child dolls. Liza (dark hair) is a 30” Heinrich Handwerck bisque head with a paper mache jointed body, circ 1905-1925. She has brown glass sleep eyes and a human hair wig, replaced by me since her old wig was falling apart. The bigger blond doll is Helga. She is a 32” kestner with blue glass fixed eyes (they have been replaced, not by me) and a jointed composition body that has been stamped “excelsior germany”. Her wig is also fragile, so I will be replacing it with another vintage human hair wig, like I’ve done with Liza.

The newest addition to my collection is Aurora, a 24” German character baby lorie, circ 1912. She has a domed bisque open mouth baby head, with blue glass sleep eyes, and a four piece chubby composition bent limb baby body. Her stringing is somewhat loose, requiring you to support her head like a real baby. I just love her.

I hope to post more of my collection as I acquire more dolls:)

Thanks to my grandpa (RIP), I now have a nearly complete Penny collection! Oldest Penny I have is from 1924! And every penny up to 1982 is pure copper!

Yeah, I’m a nerd. What of it?

So I’m kinda hard on money rn, and have been saving my money pretty strictly, but I found something I had to make an exception for. I present to you: Him.

He is a genuine late Victorian (1890~1901) Gold filled Enamel and glass rhinestone frog pin!!! He was only $20 due to the fact that he is missing the rhinestone on his left leg, and the gold fill has been largely worn away (he was well loved) but that’s quite easy to replace, and quite frankly, I love him just the way he is. I feel i have no other option than to name him Jason Funderburger in honor of Greg’s pet frog from Over the garden wall, as I just got done watching it! I hope y’all are as obssessed with him as I am 😭😭😭
