I am beyond jealous!

LOL! I've just always loved Hilda! Is yours a baby Hilda or a little girl Hilda?

My Hilda is a toddler... has the slanted hip joints.. and is so big that she wears antique baby clothes and shoes. Also, she is wigged.. I would love to have a solid dome head Hilda, but probably never happen now..

Most of my baby dolls are smaller and just the right size for a larger doll to hold..

And you just never what dolly will be coming to you in the future.. They just keep on surprising me..
