I've been doing a lot of Hungarian folk art lately and today I decided to take out all of my Hungarian dolls to share. Most of them live in a china cabinet but some are so old that they are packed away.

| The two on the edges are my oldest dolls, especially my childhood doll on the left who dates back to the early 1970's. |
 |
| Here she is in better days...I must have been 7 or 8 in this picture. |
 |
| Detail of her skirt and apron. |
 |
| At school with me, I think this was third grade, it was some kind of heritage day. I'm also wearing an embroidered blouse, apron and slippers (papucs,) I wish my teacher had taken better pictures! |
 |
| My other childhood doll (on the right in picture above.) |

 |
| She is my big girl (in the middle in picture above.) My mom brought her back from Hungary for me about 5 years ago. She is almost 2 feet tall |
 |
| She has great little feet (and bloomers!) |
 |
| I bought this doll when I was in Hungary in 2001. |
 |
| Also bought in 2001. Even though she is small, the detail on her is amazing. |
 |
| Given to my daughter by her grandmother. I've had to repaint her face a couple of times. |

Oh, your dolls are so beautiful! I love all the striking colors. And cute pics of you as a child.
ReplyDeleteLove your doll collection! Many of them are very familiar. We had quite a collection growing up. One of them had a similar black embroidered apron. The detail is just amazing!
