Emmeline in her Gypsy Costume

This is my 2010 Gypsy Challenge doll.

This year's theme is "The Magical Gypsy Carnival"

I decided to have her going to a Halloween Carnival because I always dressed as a gypsy on Halloween when I was in elementary just like my brother was always a hobo. This was in the days before you could go to the store and buy a Halloween costume and we wouldn't have had the money anyway. I would wear a long skirt, my grandma's beads, and a head scarf with canning rings sewn on for earrings.

I loved being a gypsy just like Emmeline does. She is named for my sweet granddaughter, Emily.
