Eastern European, or possibly Russian (her headdress is similar to some worn in the Tambov region of Russia). Anyone have any ideas?
In amazing condition, making them chuckle every time they look at her!

Loving those boots! x
I loved the first doll so much and those boots are seriously awesome, great post and photos as usual Jane.
Goodness the doll is amazing with bagels and pretzels intact. Ooh, love the plaster figures, and little bits and bobs.
Hoping the wheel is easily mended.
Enjoy your weekend too, Tam x
Ooh that teapot is beautiful!

The doll reminds me of so many people I know...
You're probably right in assuming her origin to be Russia, all signs point to that.
The boots are fabulous too.
You've certainly come home with some fantastic treasures Jane.
Enjoy the weekend

I've never seen anything like the doll, but she is fun--a bit of mischief in her smile. Love all your finds!
Lots of loveliness for the eyes to feast at! Love the little bagels!

Marina,
You have such a great eye for selecting the best things. I was looking at the soles of those hob nailed boots and have never seen anything like them! I really like the chippy plaster statuettes especially the one in blue but only because I love the color blue. The brown colored one is nice too. (I didn't want to upset Mary) HA
