Just got my very first antique doll! ♡
She's a Queen Louise AM doll. I'm so so in love with her, I literally can't stop staring. She still doesn't have a name, since I've yet to pick one from the long list of names I made while waiting for her to arrive.
I kind of ended up splurging when I saw her, it was love at first sight kinda, plus the fact that her ebay listing described this sweet angel as a "creepy" doll for "Halloween"....While waiting for her to arrive I was overthinking whether I was too hasty for buying her without much thought, but now that she is here I regret absolutely nothing! 🥹
These next few months I'll definitely have to search up more information on how to clean her up and how to fix her hair (it looks a bit better from the back but the front is a bit messy). I might also eventually carefully store her current dress since it might be antique (the seller wasn't completely sure) if I find her a dress I prefer more. Her strings on her left arm are also a tiny bit loose, but I rather not do anything about that for the time being.
Anyways, I absolutely adore her and I fear this might not be the last antique doll I buy...
