There are times when you find the unexpected and this is a story of a found lost treasure. Maybe you too have come across her in the wonderful world of dolls.
My little girls are so well behaved. They have finished their homework and are playing a 3D Tic Tac Toe come. They were so concentrated in their next move that they did not hear Dell come in. Dell said, “Hi, I brought a new friend to play with us.”
Dell was very courtious and introduced, MaryLee. MaryLee just moved in next door from Virginia, she is very happy to meet new friends.
So who is she? What is her history?
Let’s take a look….
She was part of a collection of 14″ dolls by Mission City Press, the same company that released the Life of Faith Collection. This collection was called Faith & Friends, the the girl was able to select a doll, name her and write a story about the doll. Here is a link for more information, of course they are no longer in business. http://www.faith.edu/bookstore/gifts/faith_friends.html
This is True Blue as she was called on the website and now she is MaryLee from Virginia. She is all vinyl and very well jointed at the shoulders and legs, as well as her head. She can move her head in all directions. Her outfits is very well made including shoes and socks.
Even her undergarment is pretty and can be used as a top and shorts.
A closer look at her face. She has freckles and the most beautiful green eyes with red hair.
MaryLee has found a BFF in her new home. She will now be a Georgia Girl!
Fun Facts:
1. MaryLee was found at Goodwill for $1.21 , she is in mint condition.
2. The girls playing Tic Tac Toe are Corolle dolls from my collection.
3. The backdrop is American Doll Room set up as a play room.
4. The pets and furniture are from my doll collection.
5. Dell is a Hearts4Hearts doll.
Do you own any of the other dolls in this collection?
Very cute
Great find!
I always loved Life of Faith dolls, and wow. Just wow.
Thanks Diana!
Cool where did u get her
MaryLee from Virginia ( hee hee) has a gorgeous smile and is a very pretty doll. I never knew of this doll range before. Good find!
Great find Diana! She is so pretty!
Very pretty! Oh also, that wasn’t Dell, it was Zelia, unless you named her Dell! I
Hi Sabrina, yes I named her Dell, but you are correct H4H named her Zelia, I liked Dell better.
That doll is really pretty, love the freckles!! 😉
Oh I remember when these dolls came out I was crazy about them my friend got your Marylee and named her Lacy I have the ” in the pink”doll and named her Myin because she looked asian to me oh and my little sister has the “color me purple” doll. I was so sad when they got discontined. I’m glad you gave this one a new home! Ps the under tank tops do not sit well mine has a wrinkle that will not let the shirt cover her stomach.
She is so cute – the dress is also so pretty. I have two H4H dolls (lucky find) but had never heard of this line of dolls. Your pets are also so unique.
She’s really pretty!

She’s cute.
The only “modern” dolls I have are American Girl. I’m hoping to add a Hearts4Hearts at some point. Tipi keeps calling to me.
Congratulations on the new addition and great find!
