Doll Census

This is my sweet Dolly Daughter, Julia ~ I love her to pieces :-) I was SO excited when she joined my dolly family as I had wanted a "big" doll for absolutely ages. I'm the only one in my family who loves dolls and in fact my children (who are 19) find most of my dolly family pretty freaky and think that I'm extremely weird ;-P

 

As you can no tell from the photo below, Julia is toddler-size ~ about 34" tall. This makes it so easy to dress her since she can wear "real" clothes. The only problem I've encountered is that her feet are very wide, so it's very hard to find shoes to fit. I think I may have to have a go at making some for her :-)

 

On the back of Julia's neck is a stamp which says Jesmar Made in Spain. I haven't been able to find out anything about Jesmar yet, so if anyone has any information, do please tell me ~ thank you! Julia has some strange marks and "things" on her body ~ please see the photos below ~ which I am stumped as to what they could be for. I don't know if they are simply part of the manufacturing process or if they have/had some purpose.

 

When I first had her, I thought that perhaps I would re-root Julia's hair as it has been hacked about rather badly but over time, I've grown to love her just the way she is :-)
