Sweet little Prince William found in a thrift store!

​​Thrift store shopping is essential to my life. Period. Serious. Spare moments are precious & mine are spent in thrift stores, lol.
Annnnnd some of you know I have a love of special dolls......
Yesterday, I happened to stumble across a sweet little vintage baby doll.

But not just any baby... A prince!

There sitting on a cold rack , waiting for his new mum was
beautiful little Prince William himself!
Made by Royal Doulton & the House of Nisbet, this 'First Born Collectors doll' is premium hand painted bone china, not regular porcelain.

I knew when I picked him up he was needing love & had to come home with me!
His bonnet needed a few stitches & his face needed a little wipe but after all,
​ what are dolly mums for? 
I think he looks pretty cozy in his new spot don't you?

This baby doll is stunning & his Christening gown is beautiful! His skin is beautifully pale & translucent & so detailed!
