what i brought home



hello little lady, i said, when i saw her in the most bizarre little yard sale in tel aviv.

a little sign on a busy street in the middle of the city saying cheapest yard sale now, with an arrow pointing towards a tiny shed in a back alley filled with cheap plastic crap, boxes of old tools, books and clothes. and then this old, but very well-kept golden dame.

i always liked these wooden sketch dolls. and this one was particularly nice in old, toned wood.

wishing you a wonderful weekend :)

  2. Love her dark honey wood tone. That would be great for some sketching practice, too. What a wonderful find! Your pictures are quite good, too.

  6. I am SO glad that you posted this. I've seen these at the art store before, and admired them but didn't have a need for one.

    Lately, my daughter has been talking about drawing more realistic men and women. I think that a sketch doll could be helpful.

    Have a lovely weekend!

  13. They have yard sales over there too? We must be the only country not to have them! Great find, and fun photos.
