I promised myself I wouldn’t get any new doll until the new year, and that I’d only break my dolly fast with one or more of the dolls in my list.
Of course I jumped at the first chance to break the promise and get a head start on my list.

...was supposed to be the 2009 wishlist

Last weekend I attended “Il Giocattolaio”, a toy&collectible marketplace that is held twice a year in Bologna, where I unexpectedly bumped into the first doll in my wishlist: Sylvie from the Furga Alta Moda line. ♥
Who would have thought I’d got into vintage Italian dolls?
To think Furga was making these beautiful, childish yet super-stylish dolls back in 1968, and today the industry has completely disappeared… how sad.

Anyway. Here’s an extra-quick pic of Sylvie. Hopefully I’ll get to clean her up and fix those lashes next weekend.

I can has Sylvie!
