Fashion Doll Friday: Dolls of the World Kelly – France 2005


  • DOTW Kelly France
  • Kelly and some little friends
  • DOTW French Kelly

Today’s Friday Girl is a very little one. She is one of the Dolls of the World collection. Mattel released a couple of sets of three of these. The one we have, which Naomi bought to get Little Tommy had him in a German costume, a red-haired Irish Kelly and this one who represents France. She gave me the two little girls and they represent about half my Kelly collection at present.

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. Currently we have five pets between us. Naomi's two dogs Toby and Teddy and cats, Tigerwoods and Panther and my cat Polly. My dog Cindy passed away aged 16 in April 2022.

  1. She has such a lovely expression! (actually, she kind of looks like you with that warm smile!) I use to collect dolls back in the 60’s and 70’s traveling with my parents or if they traveled they’d bring dolls back. I just recently pulled the box of them out and it was wonderful to see them again.
