This is a tangy, delicious chutney that goes well in roasted meat sandwiches. If you have an Australian native Lilly Pilly tree in your garden, this is a great way to use the superfood berries. The small-medium pear or round shaped, red/crimson berries are incredibly high in vitamins (extremely high in Vits A & C), antioxidants, minerals, fruit acids, phytosterols and essential fatty acids.

I've previously posted about the Prima Donna paper dolls L&B (Littauer & Boysen) produced at the end of the 19th century and continued to manufacture into the early 20th century. To my knowledge there are only 3 official "Prima Donna" aka Bloomer Girls by L&B. Today I'm sharing the "Red" one from my personal collection. This doll stands 14 1/2 inches tall in her assembled state. She can be found in several sizes and this is one of the larger ones. Supposedly Dennison sold a pre-assembled version of her in 1905 at 16 3/4 inches. (the assembled dolls sold by Dennison had their limbs permanently attached with eyelets). The Prima Donna paper dolls by L&B also came in a 9 3/4 inch size and the mini 6 inch size. Vintage L&B "Red" Prima Donna Jointed Paper Doll with Torso The Pair of legs that came with this doll still had it sheet tag number still attached. Originally this pair of arms and legs as well as the doll heads would have been sold by L&B in a sheet as a set of 3 dolls. Sometimes you are lucky and can buy uncut sheets of the Prima Donnas. Depending on the style and size of the dolls the sheets have different numbers. L&B #2783 are 7 inch legs that are used to create the 14 inch assembled dolls. It is possible that depending on the year they were printed those numbers could be different but that's speculation on my part; since, I don't yet have multiple uncut sheets of the same parts to verify this possibility. I do know that some of the uncut sheets have circular id tags and others have rectangular ones; that too might be an indicator to the print date as well. I'm sure L&B's numbering system makes sense once you figure it out; but here is an interesting example to mull over. Here are two totally different sheets of limbs by L&B both are #2781 One sheet (Ballet) has the rectangular tag #2781 the other (PD legs) has circular tag #2781 I never before thought to keep track of limb sizes and numbers before now but I will going forward since my curiosity has now been peeked. If you know the answer to these questions regarding L&B #'s please let me know - grins. Here is what one uncut Prima Donna doll sheets to make the 14" dolls looks like. Vintage L&B Paper Doll sheets of Heads and Limbs - Uncut #2783 Ya, I know you've seen these dolls lots of times before, since they are the most common of the L&B jointed paper dolls to still find out there; but I've had a bit of fun altering them so you have something new to see and play with. Here is a sneak peak of one of the altered EKD versions you'll see further down in the post. EKDuncan Altered Victorian Paper Doll in a new color and with a new hairstyle I was tired of using my vintage dolls in their original colors too, so I created several alternatives for a change of pace. I also wanted to give her a more pleasing hairstyle. I hope you like her as much as I do. ***** L&B's articulated lady dolls were produced starting in the late 1880's and represented some of the top "stars" of the day. The images of those performers on these dolls would have been easily recognizable to purchasers at that time; just as an image of Marilyn Monroe would be known by most who viewed it today. Sadly 120+ years after the fact, these ladies of the stage have been a bit difficult for me to identify. I've found very little information about these dolls out there to help me with my search. A few I've purchased had the names written on the back of the torso or the seller had an idea who the lady in question may have been, but other dolls have have sent me on quite a quest just finding possible identifications for them. This doll seems to be Lillie Langtry aka "Lily" Langtry. It appears Mrs. Langtry has two spellings for her first name and she signed her name "Lily" sometimes and "Lillie" at other times, so you may come across her name spelled either way. Most of her "actress photos" show Mrs. Langtry when her name is printed on the card, to muddy those waters a bit more; but it appears she went as "Lillie" in England and "Lily" in America. She was also known as the "Jersey Lily" so for this post I'm spelling her name as Lily. Vintage Photo of Mrs. Lillie aka Lily Langtry 1853-1929 Lily began her stage career in 1881 and was adored by the public. She also led a rather notorious life; having many affairs, including her 1877-1880 attachment to the Prince of Wales who later became King Edward VII . She acquired American citizenship in 1897 and her popularity on two continents was so wide spread that The Who's 1967 song "Pictures of Lily" was about her. The key lyrics in the song that inspires that belief is "Son, now don't be silly. She's been dead since 1929...if only I was born in Lily's time." She has been a character in several novels and many scholars believe she is "Irene Adler" in the 1891 Sherlock Holms' story "A Scandal in Bohemia" Her life story has also been portrayed in movies several times over the years. I'd say the lady defiantly had "Diva" status in her day and beyond, making her a prime choice for "Prima Donna". More photos of Mrs. Langtry can be seen at the NYPL digital gallery - HERE and at the Victoria & Albert Museum - HERE ***** 2 Large Lily Langtry L&B paper dolls from my personal collection Here are two individual "LL" paper dolls in my L&B collection and as you can see they are just slightly different one from the other. L&B produced these dolls starting in the late 1880's and they continued to be sold for the next 20 years. I know they were still being sold in their pre-assembled with eyelet form in the Dennison 1905 catalog and I've had one source tell me they were still for sale in the Dennison 1907 catalog as well. I believe the parts for these two dolls were made years apart. The upper doll is very bright and sharp in color-detail; and the pressboard it was embossed and cut from is about twice the thickness of the lower doll. The lower doll is also made of a clay composite pressboard but is of a much thinner weight. Her colors are also of a softer palate as are her printed features. Based on this I think the upper doll is older than the lower since her quality grade is higher. They are both still great examples of L&B paper dolls just made at different times. On an earlier post I was pondering the possibility that this lower doll with the label on her torso may have once been owned by a collector who had these two very rare dolls I hope to one day own. 2 Rare L&B Dolls owned by Jan McKay - photographed at the 2008 Paper Doll Convention I know it's a simple white label on the doll torsos but the size, shape, font, wording and even the zigzag looking left edge match. So I have to assume that at one time or another all three of these dolls passed through the same individual's hands -whomever that might be, is still a mystery??? Sorry - I wish I had nice images of these two to share with you but this is the only photo I've seen of them. If I'm ever fortunate to have them in my collection, I will share them with you too - grins. -------- OK Back to Lily and her new look. Before and After views of one of my Lily Langtry paper doll heads including the new hair style I gave her. I'm not sure how "white" the lace may have originally been on the doll when it was first printed but I suspect that somewhere in the past 120 years my paper dolls has probably "yellowed" a bit with age. Being "Bloomer Girls" I thought the white of her lace and pantaloons could use a bit of brightening up, so I spruced her up a bit in several ways till I got a new look for my old doll.

One of the wall-paintings of Thera, the Minoan city buried in the ash of the eruption of the volcano (thousands of times more violent than Mt. St. Helens, and six times Krakatoa), which caused sherds of ash in the icecaps of Greenland, a permanent disturbance in the tree rings of California’s bristlecone pines, crop failures in China, the legendary plagues of Egypt. Which rewrote geography—left an enormous hole in Santorini and the bottom of the sea, drowned and reconfigured harbors along Crete’s north coast, cut promontories off into islands, and threw great waves thirty miles inland into Turkey, carving channels almost to Mount Ararat.
