WEIRD DOLL WEDNESDAY, PART 172


Hello, everyone.


Here's a pretty lady. There's a label on the bottom on her stand that says  "Maria Clara".  I don't have any other information.



 Are you enjoying Autumn? I'm not enjoying the continuing summer like weather. It's almost like  we skipped over Autumn and Winter and went straight back to Spring. 


Part of the front garden from yesterday. 

Freaking out plants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  1. Weird weather. Here is kind of normal after an abnormally dry summer. We'll see what happens. Your garden looks great even in its freaked-out state.
    Yes, what a pretty lady. There must be a story behind it somewhere.

  2. What a lovely, expressive face this lady has been given!

    Weird weather all 'round, Thorne. However, if it doesn't require scraping, shoveling or spraying -- I like it. I may even rejoice in having to call the lawn service for a pre-Thanksgiving mow and trim!

  3. I think that's a Monserrat Caballe doll!
    You garden's looking gorgeous, despite the weather weirdness. xxx

  4. Curtise is right! A quick search popped up a pix of Catalan opera singer Monserrat Caballe in a Lucretia Borzia costume that resembles this doll's pearls. The face is remarkably true to life.

    1. Beth and Curtise: you both rock. I've never heard of Monserrat Cabelle, so I also did a check. Bingo! Thanks!
