New quest!

This little golden pathway is one I've casually considered for a long time, and now I'm getting serious.  Some of y'all may remember that I like Marie Osmond dolls, and one of my favorite lines is her Rag-a-Muffin series.  The Rag-a-Muffins were/are small dolls with stuffed bodies and porcelain head and hands, and each one is themed after a certain flavor of muffin.  There are twelve in all, and for a long time I've nursed a desire to own them all.  Well...that ball is now rolling.  Meet Pumpkin Spice.

These dolls are Tiny Tot-sized, meaning that they're only about five inches seated.  As such they can sit in...oh wait, did I mention that these dolls sit in their very own muffin flutes?  So stinkin' cute!  

Here's what her face looks like, complete with the Raggedy Ann-style paint job and the beauty mark.  Marie Osmond sculpted this one herself, hence the aforementioned beauty mark.

Three of my six MO dolls are sculpted by Ping Lau, and while I like (LOVE) Ms. Lau's work a little variety is nice.  As for the rag doll-style paint...well, Pumpkin Spice has it on her hands too.  See the stitches?

That reminds me a little of the stitches I saw on a person who'd had surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome.  Kinda freaky, but this is a porcelain rag doll so I can get over it.

As I said in the beginning, there were twelve of these Rag-a-Muffins, all in different flavors (but with the same face).  Lemon Poppyseed is my favorite of the Rag-a-Muffins, and Mama's favorite (she really had to think about it) is Banana Nut.  She also likes Cherry a lot.  Those three will take priority, but I hope to own them all.  Eventually.  I told Mama one per pay period (an arrangement she was okay with), and the next pay period starts...today, actually!  Banana Nut, I'm coming for your love, okay?

Love,
