My mother has made many, many beautiful dolls over the years. these she made for my daughters a few years ago. I found them again when I was looking around in the storage room. I do have a question for you all. They were very dusty because they were in my girls rooms for so many years and put away that way. Q. How do I get them clean? the clothing that is.
Some of Mother's dolls are very elaborate. I will have to get her album and copy some of her pics.
I pictured them on my Strawberry Hills blog.

Wow those dolls are beautiful........Your mother is very talented. I dont have any advice about cleaning the dolls but have some of my own that need cleaning so I will be watching to see what advice you get.

you might try using a can of "canned air" to blow off the dust.

Good idea, Tina. It is mostly in the hair , well it is all over. I brushed them pretty good but canned air that should do 'something'. thanks

Mary Beth, what a talented mom you have! And those vintage photos of family are beautiful! Maybe you could try blowing the dust off with a hairdryer; another idea....a good way to clean the dust off of a dried flower wreath is to put it in a bag with cornmeal and shake your booty (ha)! The cornmeal is heavy enough to knock alot of the dust off. Good luck. Nance
