A CAVE ON ONE OF MY RECENT WALKS.
I walked through the length of it, which is approximately fifty metres long.
The entrance is four feet high and the cave is just under six feet high, at its' highest.

A beautiful pink bush on the way to the cave.

WORLD COSTUME DOLLS FROM KENYA, AUSTRALIA, ISRAEL and TURKEY

Today I am listing dolls from KENYA,  AUSTRALIA, ISRAEL and TURKEY.

You can see more photos, and information about the dolls on the website.

Thank you.

NOTE:  I have a large collection of postcards showing "people in costume".  I thought I would gradually show them here, but if there is enough interest, maybe I could add them (eventually!) onto a page of their own.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts about this.

Below the dolls pictured here is a postcard showing a group of American Indian ladies.

UNUSUAL AUSTRALIA (TASMANIA) CONVICT DOLL - (apple-head)

EVERYTHING COMES TO THOSE WHO WAIT!

 I have been searching for many years for a doll from Tasmania, but the only ones I have seen have been Aborigine dolls from Mainland Australia.  But now I have found one!  All you doll collectors will know the thrill of finding a doll for which you have been searching for many years! 

Until I found this one, I never realised they made Convict dolls, so that was an added bonus, so today I am listing this unusual doll from AUSTRALIA, (TASMANIA).   

For more pictures and information about the doll, please see my website.  Just click on the "INVENTORY" tab at the top of the HOME PAGE.  Thank you.
