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!
