My New Raggedy Ann

As you all know, I love Raggedy Ann Dolls.

They just remind me of the best 

parts of my childhood.

I came across this Ann on eBay.

These are her eBay pictures

I love her pink dress!

Something about here face - so SWEET!

Here she is right out of the box.

She was a bit musty, as I would expect from a 

cloth doll of this age.

Her clothes were a little discolored from years of dust.
All the elastic in her outfit needed to be replaced.

I put her clothes in to soak.  Most doll clothes can stand a cold

water wash/soak.  I only hesitate if the fabric

is brittle or already torn.

And here she is!

I  thought she needed a pink bow.

I was right.

Welcome Raggedy Ann!
