When I was a child, I had bed sheet with a charming little old fashion character. It was a little girl with a blue bonnet and a dress that seem to include a patchwork apron. At the time, I didn't knew anything about this little girl but I would find her cool looking, even if it her clothes was a bit dated. I would liked to have the dress but not the head gear. In the past few days, I did a little research and I found that this character was named Hollie Hobbies and it share the same name that it's creator. (https://www.amazon.com/Knook-Expanded-Beginner-Leisure-Arts/dp/1464704066/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=knook&qid=1560174401&s=gateway&sr=8-1 It is a book cover to show how she look. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holly_Hobbie For knowing more on the author and this link for more images and variation: https://www.google.com/search?channel=crow&q=holly+hobbie+dessin&tbm=isch&source=univ&client=firefox-b-d&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiAj82T8MHiAhVRgK0KHQcrBOoQsAR6BAgJEAE&biw=1069&bih=867#imgrc=6LOqZPaLUAvlVM:)
So, there is a mystery that had been solved. This character would do well in the rag doll business. I think I also had a similar looking doll when I was a 5 years old. It was the only doll that I wanted. I can't explain why I was attracted by this type of doll and by it's look. There must had been something that attracted me toward that doll, maybe the colour skeme. Of course, it should have the same status than Raggeddy Ann. Both characters have their charms.
So, it was fun to go down memory lane and found more about this Hollie Hobbie one. It seems there is a recent serie too but withouth the old type clothes. It seems to be real, with people, not a cartoon serie. I would see a cartoon serie with this character as Raggeddy Ann had in the 1990 (I think, could be a little bit earlier too)
