Vintage Doll By Martha Nelson Thomas
Story behind her dolls:
She designed her "Doll Babies" with input from children she knew,[2] made them by hand, and sold them at craft fairs around Louisville, Kentucky.[3] In 1976, Thomas met Xavier Roberts at one of these craft fairs. He asked her to supply him with dolls to sell in Georgia, where he lived and worked. Thomas briefly let him sell her Doll Babies, but stopped. Roberts created his own version in 1978, and in 1982 he licensed the dolls to Coleco for mass-production under the name Cabbage Patch Kids.[2]
While Cabbage Patch Kids were so popular that buyers had to join a nine-month waiting list, Thomas sold a line of craft items through Fibre-Craft based on her original Doll Babies that allowed buyers to sew up their own doll.
She has some stains on her one hand other than that she's in good conditions
