Weekend in Oddville


I found this odd little doll. Got it for a quarter. Had to buy it because i felt drawn in by its eyes.
The clothes are not original, someone tried to hot glue them on. But on the back it has a date stamp from the 1930's as well as a coin slot. But no way of opening it. A real nest egg. Most interesting but not as much as this book i found the next day:



Complete with an artist's conception of the author and his spirit guide....it's turning out to be such an amazing book. Not only that, but it was also published in 1934. At that time it cost $2.00. Ironically, thats how much i paid for it in 2009. Weird.
Off to the swapmeet tomorrow!
Psssst....there was also a mini shop update with some vintage dolls. I'll be back with more tomorrow!
Happy hunting!
