Vive la France!

If only Grand-Pere were here to give these girls a quick French lesson. Yes, Luisa, Laura, and Sarah are off to a new home in France.

Taking their picture together, I realized what a nice trio they make: a brown-eyed brunette, a green-eyed redhead, and a blue-eyed blonde, all with a similar hairstyle. As far as I can tell from their tags, they each come from a different year too: Luisa from 1997, Laura from 1996, and Sarah from 1998.

Part of me hates to see them go, but now there is a bit more room in my doll cabinets for the other girls to spread out and be seen.

Meet Sarah

Sarah came to me without her tube, and has more wear than my other Later Gotz dolls. Her hair is tangled near the scalp behind one ear, her hand has a small mark, and her sandals seem stretched out -- all tiny imperfections on a sweet girl from 1998. I plan to give her a bit of TLC when I can find some free time, although she really doesn't need much.


She is the first blue-eyed blonde of my collection, though certainly not the last.
