This is a miss match of vintage things - some that I brought from home, some that I purchased.... Vintage finds have been few and far between at the thrifts lately, but then, I really don't need much but it's still fun to hunt..
This doll was mine - I don't really remember playing with her too much, I think she was "too good" - I remember that a US relative had given it to me. I imagine she bought it because she's a Jill doll and Jill is my name!! The Jill doll was produced by Vogue Dolls from 1957 to 1965, her popularity waned after the introduction of the Barbie doll. I looked through a site that has many of the outfits, for the life of me, I can't remember any of them.

Back then we could never find anything with my name on it so this would have been very special. |

She's very pretty |

I do remember she had drop earrings in the shape of a heart, I think they were the same as her hair band. |

I bought a few pieces of doll clothing one day at Value Village, only because they were old - this seems to fit her, sadly she has no shoes to slip her painted toenails in. I found my Jill doll in a bag in a drawer, with a few plastic doll skiis but no clothes.... |

This came from my mother in laws house, it's so pretty.. |

I bought this when I was home at flea market - it was $1 - it's part of a Fire King Range Set. There were the two pieces from the tulip pattern there too, I sent my great aunt back to get them for me the next week - they were still there, also $1 each. |
 |
I found this when I came back home - at a Christmas in July sale at a local flea market - it's tiny, it has the G in a wreath on the bottom, what is that? Right now, I can't remember!!! It's just a tiny little boot, only 2 inches high. |
