This charming set of two vintage beaded safety pin dolls is a perfect example of mid-century "tramp art" and kitschy cottagecore crafts. Likely handmade from popular kits in the 1960s or 1970s, these figurines feature intricate patterns of plastic beads woven onto metal safety pin frames. The set includes a classic "Lady with Muff" in vibrant red and white, complete with her signature fuzzy white hat and hand warmer, and a second "Southern Belle" style doll in bright orange holding a matching beaded parasol.
These items were recently discovered at an estate sale and are being offered in "as found" condition. While they remain structurally sound, they would benefit from a light cleaning to restore the original luster of the beads. Please note that the orange doll with the umbrella is missing her hair, though this is a common issue with vintage vinyl doll heads of this era and can be easily hidden with a small amount of lace. Measuring approximately 3.5 to 5 inches tall, these nostalgic pieces would make a delightful addition to a vintage holiday display or a collection of retro handmade folk art.
