You are bidding on "Elizabeth's Homecoming", a darling little 13" bisque porcelain baby doll by award-winning doll artist Kathy Barry-Hippensteel for Edwin M. Knowles China Company. Her head, hands, and feet are porcelain. Her head does not turn. Her precious baby face is warmly blushed and she is sleeping with eyes closed. She has fine blonde hair. She is the first issue in Baby Book Treasures, a heartwarming collection of infant dolls capturing the pages of baby books - with all their emotional impact. "A newborn brings so much into the world . . . beauty, love, and innocence. I created 'Elizabeth' with all these virtues in mind, and hope she stirs tender emotions in all whose lives she touches." says doll artist Kathy Barry-Hippensteel. The waiting is over for Mommy and Daddy -- the precious little one has arrived to fill their hearts, and now their home, with love. Today is the day that "Elizabeth" comes home from the hospital and she is dressed for the occasion. Mommy has chosen a one-piece pink sleeper with dainty eyelet trim with a matching bonnet that ties with white ribbons under her chin, and white lace-knit booties. Wrapped in a soft receiving blanket with tiny flowers on it, "Elizabeth" is ready to greet the world . . . in her own quiet way. Already fast asleep and lost in sweet infant dreams, she seems perfectly content. read more
