Cathie de Bella

I finally got a Cathie de Bella doll.  She wasn't in too bad of shape, except for the smell.  Every doll I buy from France has a very strong odor of cigarettes.  At the moment, I'm in the process of bringing her up to 100%.  She is missing four hair plugs on the front of her hairline, so I ordered some Ash Blonde hair from http://www.restoredoll.com/ .  They have very high quality, saran doll hair that is especially matched to vintage dolls.  I will post more once I have started the restoration process.

Head removed, waiting on hair to arrive so I can fill the empty hair plugs.
