This poor vintage 60's ski doll has been perched in the front garden of a 60's dollshouse for the past year....
But today she had her moment of fame & fun! Doesn't she look the part? She is all - original, from her natty clothing to her plastic ski poles.
If you want to know where she came from, I will tell you that I got her from Leonore -International Quality Kitsch - she has a stand at most of the vintage fairs I do, but you can also purchase from her on ebay.
This is fab.. reminds me of Thunderbirds in a way.. Lady Penelope. She was a bit frozen when it came to acting..
ReplyDeleteI wonder which piste my ski doll ended up on..
Your photos of ski doll would make great Christmas Cards ..!
Hope you are keeping warm and cosy.

this are really cute snow-fotos, I love them!
ReplyDeleteHow funny, I also though of Thunderbirds when I took these photos, so you sold your lovely ski doll then Michele? I should have treated myself to her, but with all these fairs being messed up & cancelled it is probably for the best! Lizzie x
ReplyDeleteI was on here before but then got called for dinner, so popping back to say I love this blog, its so great, the little doll is so cute xxx
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Ski doll is wonderful. I bet she's had a wonderful time this week. Is she planning on taking part in the Winter Olympics?

I like how you've used clever perspective to make her look full human size in some of these photos.
ReplyDeletethank you for your comments, I had fun doing this & glad you think the perspective is effective. Lizzie x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great little doll! I love her jumper. She must be so happy to see so much snow - she looks very at home in it :-) Your photos are great - I love how they show her starting off at the top of the hill and moving down.
ReplyDeleteThank you Rebecca, she is a little cutie isn't she. The irony is that I took these photos with my ailing camera. It still can take great outside shots, but failing miserably on flash & indoor photography. Lizzie x
ReplyDeleteOh, I looked for the doll on the wrong blog and got confused! Love your photos! I have a few of these little skiers, all in slightly different outfits. They all look rather cross!
ReplyDeleteHi Elaine, they are probably cross as they don't get out very often! (I know the feeling at the moment!!) Lizzie x
ReplyDeleteI have had fun looking through some of your old posts. What fun! You would enjoy looking at my blog today.
