Charming Crayon Colored Vintage Wooden Doll carved wooden bead perfect for a party

perfect for a party

and the axes I believe made of steel and welded onto the bases

looking as if her book has put her to sleep

I continue to marvel at the wide array of things humans of different cultures do with walnuts

I have a weakness for old wooden corkscrews

Charming Crayon Colored Vintage Wooden Doll carved wooden bead perfect for a partyThis doll feels one part bedpost one part Creative Playthings to me, with her crayon colored dress and smiling face making her very much her own singular, sweet self. Im not sure if the wooden form was repurposed from something else or carved by a parent or grandparent to be a doll , but I'd guess she dates to the 50s or 60s, and I think she's really fabulous. 6 7 8" t x 2 4 5" w x 1 2 4" and in very good condition, much better than photos convey.
