Some of my really OLD dolls.

My grandfather was an army man. After WW2 he brought these Japanese dolls home to my mother when she was really little. They're in rough shape now but they've traveled quite a lot and have been boxed for decades. The rest of the dolls she acquired while living in Germany. I didn't know I still had all of these. So anyway, yay! They're unboxed and sitting on my shelf. After I do a bit of research I'll find a way to safely clean them because they're dusty, moldy, and some of the hair is rotting off. And please translate "after I do a bit of research" to mean "some time in 2017 I might do this." hahahaha
