Dolls of the World

I love dolls. Not only do I think they are pretty, but I like to play with them. When people go on trips, they may have something that they collect from each place they go. Often stamps, or something small. But for this odyssey, I decided to get dolls from every country that we visit, and so far, I have been succesful. Each doll is in traditional dress and has a traditional name. Listed below are the names of my dolls from each country and a short description of them.

Holland: Name: Anke, description: porcelain, blonde hair, blue eyes
Poland: Name: Malgorlata (pronuonced Mao - gor - jata), description: porcelain, brown hair, brown eyes
Croatia: Name: Petra, description: porcelain, brown hair, brown eyes
Slovenia: Katcia (C pronounced as CH), description: porcelain, blonde hair, blue eyes
Italy: Name: Tiziana, description: porcelain, Venetian jester hat, brown eyes
Tanzania: Name: Asante, description: wood, no painted hair or eye colour
India: Name: Shina, description: cloth covered, shawl covered head, brown eyes
India doll II: Name: Shiva, description: wood and cloth, shawl covered head, brown eyes
Thailand: Name: Miss Magnolia, description: cloth covered, brown eyes, black hair
Laos: Name: Noy, description: cloth covered, brown eyes, black hair
China: Name: Meili, description: porcelain, black hair, brown eyes
Australia: Name: Cara, description: cloth, multi-coloured hair, green eyes
New Zealand: Name: Kia and her baby sister Ora, description: plastic, black hair, brown eyes
Tahiti: Name: Papeetee, description: plastic, black hair, brown eyes
Chile: Name: Estrella (pronounced Es-trey-a) and baby siblings Luna and Sol, description: cloth covered, black hair, black eyes
Argentina: Name: Rosaria (prounounced Ro-sadia), description: bendable material (unknown), brown hair, brown eyes

So far, prior to Tahiti, all of my dolls have been shipped home. I miss them very much and I can't wait to see them again and introduce them to my other dolls that I got further on the trip and that I had before I left. I miss you dolls!

We hope to see your doll collection when you get home. I love the names and Sophia wants to know if she can touch them.
