Ein Glücksgriff / A very lucky find

Ich liebe unsscharfe Ebay-Fotos! Denn wäre sie vernünftig fotografiert worden, dann hätte ich mir Ida niemals leisten können. Ich hatte ohne große Hoffnung so viel geboten wie ich gerade noch verantworten konnte, war zum Auktionsende gar nicht zu Hause, dachte es ist eh zu wenig - und bekam sie!

I love unfocussed Ebay pictures! If she had been photographed properly, I  never could have afforded Ida. I had placed a bid without much hope, wasn't at home when her auction ended, thought it hadn't been nearly enough - and won her!


Sie kam in einem abscheulichen Schlafanzug, der einer größeren Puppe gehört haben muss, also brauchte sie als erstes neue Sachen. Was da sinnend am Fenster steht ist - 

She came wearing ghastly pyjamas that must have belonged to a larger doll, so the first thing she needed was a new (to her) outfit. Standing by the window, contemplating, is -


Ida! Sehr frühe Götz mit gelben Augen und (dünnen) Wimpern, mit der angehobenen Augenbraue

Ida! Very early Götz with yellow eyes and (faint) lashes, with the arched brow



- und mit intakten Haaren! Niemand hat daran herum geschnippelt! Hurra!
Ich hatte immer gedacht, eine solche Puppe würde stets auf der Liste unerfüllbarer Wünsche bleiben. Aber jetzt ist sie eingezogen, und schlechte Ebay-Fotos machten es möglich.

and intact hair! No one snipped it! Hooray!
I always though a doll like her would stay on my list of unreachable wishes for ever. But now she moved in, bad Ebay photos made it possible.


Ich glaube dieses Kleid steht ihr noch besser....

I believe this dress suits her even better...

  1. Congratulations on a great find ! Those fuzzy photos can be either treasure or just ordinary, so it's wonderful when you have a feeling and take that risk and even better if no one else does.
    She is lovely and looks nice in both dresses.

    I can see your smile from here :)

    1. Thank you!
      Well someone else also placed a bid, but they weren't courageous enough.
      Yes you can still see me smile...

  2. So Lovely! Those early Gotz girls have amazing eyes, and I like the redheads best. She has really nice thick hair too. I bet she's thankful too, for going to such a good home :-)

    1. She was very very happy to get rid of those awful saggy old pyjamas!
      The seller said she hasn't been played with but has been sitting on a sofa for decades. How boring!

    1. Thank you! I think I could find clothes which suit her even better - or make them - but there's plenty of time for that.

    1. I was very surprised - and happy! And over the moon when she arrived and I knew her stringing is in good order and she doesn't have any funny smells....
