Anita Parkins

"Anita"
 Phyllis Parkins*
The Collectables Series 1997

Anita (name I gave her) measures 19 inches. She has 1/4 vinyl limbs and a soft stuffed cloth body that has been weighted. She's quite heavy for her size. Inside of her limbs is wire armature, which enables her to be posed very nicely. Anita has beautiful hazel eyes with long lashes. Her little face is just precious. Her strawberry blonde hair curls up on the bottom. There's also a little "tuft" of hair on top of her head that can be pulled up into a bow. Although pre-owned, Anita is in excellent condition without any spots or odors. She must have been a display doll. She will come to you dressed in a beautiful frilly, multicolored floral dress that is adorned with plenty of lace and has puffy sleeves. Underneath she is wearing yellowish/cream colored bloomers. On her feet are white lacy socks and white shoes. Her cute white straw hat completes her outfit. What a sweet doll! I think she would like her new mom to take her on a spring outing. Hurry and order!
