[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 9822463, member: 51"]Wanted to give follow-up. Thanks to encouragement from this thread, I did not donate this doll. I wound up listing this doll, and happily she sold for $80! The story gets even better. Earlier the buyer had written me and asked if the base was "a tea cozy" to which I replied, "I don't think so, but I'm not sure." Buyer wrote me the most lovely note, and so I think this doll won the jackpot with this buyer: [SIZE=4][B][I]Dressing this little lady in antique doll clothes I already had. She is beautiful !!! I have bought a basket and in it she will be carrying antique grodnertal miniature dolls and a jug to fill her cup while she peddles her wares. Also, she definitely is a tea cozy and I'm thrilled as I collect them and have many. Now she has a lot of friends !! I am very happy.
