Agnus & Ruby Rescued from Resale!


Left, is Agnus and right, in red, is Ruby. These old gals were rescued from a dusty and forgotten toy box at a local resale shop. Both are sock dolls and I think they were sewn in the 1940s or 50s? In any case, they are safe now and have plenty of opportunities to relax, drink tea and gossip with a variety of travel dolls. They no longer need fear the trash heap.

Recently, Aunt Marlene donated the lovely pocket watch pin to Agnus. I think it suites her attire. She is a bit elderly and sometimes forgets to wake from a nap for afternoon tea. The pocket watch should come in handy!

  1. What a treasure. A found doll is so fascinating because you know it has provided joy to someone’s life. If only they could talk, tell you their stories.

  2. Actually, it’s a well known fact, according to Johnny Gruelle, that these ladies talk whenever human’s leave the room. Just think of all the doll treasures that are dumped daily?
