Up close and personal with my new kokeshi doll

I don’t know what attracts me so in these Japanese figurines,
but I can definitely feel a collection coming up.
I found this sweet lady on Etsy,
and another one is on her way to our home too.
(This may sound weird, but I just recently discovered the vintage section in Etsy. My Love is still making up his mind if that’s a good thing or not..he’s afraid I’m turning into some strange figurine-hoarder.)
