I'm going to start posting some artefacts and books from the Education Library Service collection where I work. Favourite things that I've been itching to photograph. I finally have a camera. A beautiful new camera and we are in our honeymoon phase where I take photos of each inhale and exhale. I am definitely starting to annoy people. First some dolls. Accession number A20102 - titled HAND MADE DOLL WOMAN & BABY. This is all the catalogue tells. It's incorrect as she has two babies, one in her arms and one tied to her back. There's no date. I guess she is Peruvian, or a neighbouring country. She's made of cloth, mostly handwoven and hand-dyed, a crochet hat and stuffed with rags. I think the maker of the doll must be related to Mary Saloia. Look at the similarity of stitching and style of their joyous faces.

Hello!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So wonderful seeing you.
I am naughty and am not reading a single word of what you say here (right now) because it is too late for me to be up. But be so sure that I will be back.
LOVE to Ruben and yourself!
