It seems some of you have been enjoying the travel dolls. I was afraid they might be getting boring. I certainly didn't have time to photograph anything yesterday, so it was nice to have the photos to fall back on. The good news and bad news,(For those of you who are sick of travel dolls), is that I found my other travel dolls yesterday! I have to photograph them for the person who wanted to buy travel dolls,so you will get to see them at some point. I thought there was a tub full. I found only a few,so I kept digging. It seems I had spread them out to a couple of tubs. It's still only a bag full though. I also have some beautiful travel dolls that I'm keeping.I already had plans to include them in this year's daily dolls. And even more good news,I found a bunch more interesting dolls yesterday that you will be seeing in upcoming posts. I even found a doll I've been looking for for ages. I knew I had her, and she had been hiding. But now she's been found and you'll be seeing her soon.
As for today, I have a few more travel dolls that I thought some of you might like to see.
The two on the left are fairly small dolls compared to those big Spanish dolls from the other day.
I think the girl with the pom poms on her hat is supposed to be from the Schwartzwald,or Black Forest region of Germany.The straw hat is called a bollenhut or bollenhuete. Married ladies wear black pom poms,and single women wear red ones.

| Those are some big pom poms. Not as big as the Hungarian Matyo costumes have. You can see those dolls and read about them in my post HERE. |
I'm not sure about the smaller girl. Likewise, the larger one.
The smaller two are plastic, but the large one seems to have a compo or paper mache head. The legs are made of wood, and jointed at the hips so the doll can sit down.
Anybody have any ideas what countries these dolls represent
That guy who wanted travel dolls is pretty picky. I thought some of these were pretty interesting.
See you tomorrow for another doll.
