No, not THAT kind! I have a friend who turns 55 on August 27th and she's a doll collector so I figured I'd surprise her at her Birthday dinner out with a genuine Crolly doll from Donegal Ireland. I've been to Crolly a few times, stopped into "Leo's" Pub. His daughters are Mairead (Moya) Brennan and "Enya" Brennan the famous singers. Beautiful area on the coast. I must have missed the doll factory when there before. I was just surfing "Irish Dolls" and found that one. The dolls look exquisite. A lot of detail and they use actual Donegal tweed on them. I'm sure you doll collectors have heard of them. I got the "Tattie Hoker" (potato picker) doll with the tattie bag on her shoulder.
