Two heads are better than one.........


Doll heads that I rescued from the attic floor of the farmhouse that was recently demolished. They are in bad condition but both have mechanical devices to make the eyes move up and down when they are either laid down horizontally or a bottle is put into the mouth of the one on the left.

My wife says they were her older sisters dolls so that makes them at least 60 years old.  I will try to clean them up later in life but for now they didn't go to the landfill. They do make a surreal sort of photo as the heads stare off in different directions.

Around here in the various antique shops, these are very collectible and there are many folks who restore these. What a wonderful find.

  The flowers are getting a gentle rain this morning.  It  makes the soil and sub soil happier as our drought is less these days.
