Today I am sharing some photos of our Elizabeth.  We are completely head over heals for her as you probably can tell. 

Her hair is just gorgeous....and her pin curls in-tact.

Her face is just lovely, we love her bright, crystal blue eyes and the fact that she has her ears pierced.  She is the only doll that we have that has her ears pierced.

Here is a picture of Elizabeth in her underclothes.  We are using that as her nightgown right now since we don't have anything from her period yet that would work for a nightgown but we were looking and found this really nice set here.

For now though, her under garment is working nicely.

She came with these nice off-white stockings as well...

Here she is in her "meet" dress.  Zoey just loves it!  It's the first long, period gown that she has.  It's shimmery fabric and almost iridescent when it hits the light different ways.  It's really in good shape too which is nice.

All of the little details on the dress just amaze me.  We are so tickled with this "fancy" dress.

Here is a close-up of Elizabeth's earrings.  We didn't get her accessories...it would be fun to get her dangly earrings sometime if we can find them, along with her little headpiece.  I'm not sure what else it is that she had for accessories, I'll have to research that.

Here is a close-up of her pretty shoes.

And...something that is interesting to me is comparing Elizabeth to McKenna.  I was worried for a bit at first that the two dolls would be too similar but as you can see in the following photos, they really aren't and I needn't have had worried.

Here are the two together side by side.

The hair is quite different, the eyebrows different and the make-up and lips are different as well.

You can really see the hair difference when viewed from the back.

Elizabeth's hair is longer and quite a bit brighter than McKenna's and also has a bit of a natural feeling wave to it.

Here the girls are facing one another for a side view.  We love them both so  much!

We hope you learned a bit more about Elizabeth Cole!  I'm sure you will be seeing her in more pictures here and there since she's fitting right in with the other dolls quite nicely and will be sticking around for sure!

Welcome Home Elizabeth!

We have some exciting news to share here...for Easter, Zoey discovered along with her Easter basket Elizabeth!  She could not believe that the Easter bunny was able to find an Elizabeth doll (who is retired) let alone carry it to her along with her basket for Easter!  It was a pretty big surprise indeed!

Zoey got busy right away changing Elizabeth's clothes and shoes...

and playing with that beautiful hair right away was in order too.

When Elizabeth is in braids we think that she looks a lot like Zoey.

She is so cute!

Zoey is so excited to welcome Elizabeth to our doll family.  I will share more photos of Elizabeth here with our other dolls soon.  We have been playing with her non-stop!

We are learning how to take care of her pin curls so if anyone has any suggestions please feel free to share them with us!  In the photos with the braids we just tucked them in the braids and since, they're back to normal after a bit of fussing and finger curling.
