i actually can't find any information about these "friends together" dolls except on the ebay listings where i found them. lauren and sadako are pictured here, and there are listings for two others named kerry and leila as well. they appear to be handmade montessori-type dolls with pretty, detailed clothing and yarn hair! they remind me of the cloth-faced doll kits made by glorex, bigger versions of the kathe kruse dollhouse-sized dolls, or an earlier version of bamboletta dolls.
when searching for cloth body dolls on ebay, i stumbled across this fascinating doll and immediately clicked to learn more. she's a "feelings and emotions" doll from lakeshore learning. these are still available for sale through their website with this description: "Introduce the concept of feelings and emotions with our adorable soft-sewn dolls! Perfect for circle time or dramatic play, each cloth doll features a permanently stitched expression that helps children recognize the emotions of others—and learn to understand their own feelings. Best of all, the multi-ethnic dolls are completely machine-washable! Set includes all 4 dolls; each measures 12" tall."
today on browsing ebay and researching plush dolls i've never heard of: friends together dolls (left) and lakeshore feelings & emotions dolls (right). musings and info in alt text!
