Rosebud Suck a Thumb Baby Doll


Naomi’s Rosebud doll.
Baby Ada is like the doll Naomi had as a small child. She is made of hard plastic.

This is a doll Naomi bought as it is like one she had as a child. She is a six-inch hard plastic doll with elastic strung limbs. She is made by Rosebud in the late fifties to early sixties.

Naomi remembers having an ethnic version of this doll as well who she called Coco. Sadly Coco met with an accident which resulted in her head being crushed. Naomi says she doesn’t remember how this happened but feels fairly sure that she didn’t do it as she did not get into trouble over it. Her conclusion, which I have to agree with, is that mum broke her.

I was born in England in 1957 and lived there until our family came to Australia in 1966. I grew up in Adelaide, South Australia, where I met and married my husband David. We came together over a mutual love of trains. Both of us worked for the railways for many years, his job was with Australian National Railways, while I spent 12 years working for the STA, later TransAdelaide the Adelaide city transit system. After leaving that job I worked in hospitality until 2008. We moved to Tasmania in 2002 to live in the beautiful Huon Valley. In 2015 David became ill and passed away in October of that year. I currently co-write two blogs on WordPress.com with my sister Naomi. Our doll blog "Dolls, Dolls, Dolls", and "Our Other Blog" which is about everything else but with a focus on photographs and places in Tasmania. In November 2019 I began a new life in the house that Naomi and I intend to make our retirement home at Sisters Beach in Tasmania's northwest. My current housemates are Cindy, my 14-year-old Staffy-Lab X dog and Polly the world's most unsociable cat who is seven.
