#26 Topsy-turvy Dolls
We believe these dolls originated during the 1800's in the South. The story goes that slave mothers would make a doll with one white side and one black side, so that their children could play with a black dolls, but if the plantation owner showed up it could be flipped around to show the white doll. However it happened, the topsy-turvy with one black doll and one white doll continues to be a favorite.
I can make the dolls to be combinations of black/white, asleep/awake, doll in rags/doll in fancy dress (Cinderella). You may chose hair colors, eye color and dress colors for the Cinderella doll and the awake/asleep doll. You may chose dress colors for the black/white doll. The choice of patterns is mine, but the two sides will coordinate.
Please note that these are custom-made dolls and will have a lead time of 2 to 4 weeks.
