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?
