Dont beat me -please :)
When we lived in germany when I was a little girl - I would get a doll from each country that we visited - which was just about all of the ones that were considered not to be part of the USSR at the time. I should of kept the boxes these dolls came in but I did not. I know where half of them are from, can yall help me with the rest? Pretty please? I know the last two - Norway and Wales but the first one is unknown and I've tried googling what her apron says and get nothing. Same with this one. Its the first one I am unsure of, the 2nd and 3rd are of course holland and belgium I am unsure on all three of these. I think that perhaps they represent the 3 areas of Germany (kinda like states if I remember correctly) there is one that I can pronounce but won't even attempt to spell since I cant even get it close enough for Google to figure it out. Thanks so much ahead of time to those who try to help and those who do help! |

There's not terribly much to go on... Sorry, I haven't a clue. Have you tried looking at any doll collectors websites?

Is the one in the brown dress seriously meant to be a girl from wales? The traditional outfit of Wales is nothing like that, plus they would have brown eyes, not blue.
This is the tradional dress http://www.harpanddragon.com/images/jy116051.jpg The first picture, the one with the apron with a building on looks like a Venice doll |
