In the mid 1970's my Grandma and Grandpa took a trip from Iowa to Alaska and these bobble head kissing Eskimo dolls were one of the souvenirs she brought home. They were made in Korea and did not resemble any Eskimos that I know. When my Grandma passed away and Grandpa was moving to the local spa (code word for nursing home) I was the proud recipient of their gift. It is time that my Grandma's Eskimos had a change of clothes so I got out my paints and set to work.
Kiss me babe!
New faces and the first coat of new clothes.
It was a great day spent remembering my Grandma and hoping she would like their new outfits. Happy Birthday to my Grandma! Love and miss you! A million tons!
