Trixie the Pixie, Whimsie Doll 1960, onery and mischievious,never a dull moment! - $75 - (Albuquerque, NM)
Trixie the Pixie: "Full of sugar and spice, everyone loves me cause I'm naughty but nice" Her hair is bright crimson and her eyes are brown for a stunning devilish effect. Trixie has been restored with a hair wash/condition, and her makeup has been refreshed. Her body has been cleaned, nails scrubbed and a new red felt tunic has been styled for her based on a pattern from an old Trixie doll. Her tail is made of stretch velveteen and has a heart on the end, just like the original. Her tights are commercially-made baby tights cut and sewn to Trixie's specifications. A new trident has been made for her of felt and foam with a stick base, similar to the original from 1960. A hang tag very similar to the original has also been made for her. This Whimsie is not easy to find, and her costume is usually holey and her collar stained when found. She is a trickster that will warm your heart and try your patience! I was given Lena the Cleaner, a Whimsie doll, for Christmas in 1960/61 when I was four. Hence, my love affair with the Whimsies began. I am neither a professional seamstress nor a doll restorer; however, I promise you that I put my heart and soul into restoring these dolls. My wish is that when you receive a Whimsie doll from me, you will have the love I did for mine back in the day. I welcome any feedback and suggestions.If I find that it costs more than $15 to send Priority to your location, it will be sent parcel select with insurance.
