AVON 1991 Childhood Dreams Porcelain Doll Series

Left to right: First Communion, Grand Slammers, Sunday Best, Ballet Recital, Kitty Love, Howdy
Partner, Favorite Dolly (without dolly or hat), and Skating Party.

        I picked up this little series of child dolls by AVON for our big doll house. The only thing I'm missing from this set is a felt blue hat and doll for the "Favorite Dolly." I guess that tiny doll was also the favorite of some other child as well? Also included in this lot was a "First Communion Doll." But I don't believe it is actually a part of this 1991 series and I don't really know if AVON even designed it.

 

"Grand Slammers" comes with a wooden bat and a tiny baseball and baseball cap.

"Sunday Best" also includes a tiny Bible and straw hat.

The ballerina who is having her "First Recital" wears tiny silk roses in her top-knot.

"Kitty Love" includes a grey kitten and a bouquet of white silk roses.

"Howdy Partner", my personal favorite sports a felt cowboy hat, a red bandana, rope, and a very 
cut pair of spotted chaps trimmed with leather fringe. He also wears a tiny silver buckle on his belt.

"Favorite Dolly" is missing her favorite dolly . . . and her navy felt hat! Drat!

"Skating Party" is I suppose just a party for one. She has a red felt beret topped with a green pom-
pom. Her ice skates are molded onto her molded knit covered calves. 

And lastly, the doll dressed for her First Communion is not a part of the AVON series here but she
is a quite, patient friend to all of the other dolls. I think she should have a small veil; the flower
on top of her head looks a bit out of place.
