13″ Porcelain Meagan Rose, the First in the Heaven Scent Babies Collection by Yolanda Bello. Meagan came with a brochure which provided the following information:
“Meet Meagan Rose. She’s the first issue in Yolanda’s Heaven Scent Babies by Yolanda Bello, an adorable collection of porcelain newborns with bean bodies inspired by the poem from K. Schulz. Pick her up and hold her and Meagan Rose will surely remind you of an infant’s sweetest, most tender moments. Each baby comes to you on a soft fluffy “cloud” delicately scented of baby powder just like this brochure.
Meagan Rose is sculpted of fine porcelain, with delicately hand-painted lips and hand-blushed cheeks that capture her charm. She has bright hand-set eyes and smiles…you can almost hear her baby giggles as she looks up at you. And her cuddly beanbag body will tempt you to gather and hold her ever-so-gently in your arms, while it enhancing her poseability.
Meagan Rose rests on a soft, fluffy “cloud” delicately scented of baby powder. She wears a beautifully tailored pastel-pink sleeper, adorned in satin ribbons with just the right touch of delicate embroidered trim and lace, and a bonnet to match. Her stylish gown is even accented with tiny rosettes and her baby powder scent is so familiar and oh-so-comforting.
Meagan Rose is an original design issused in an exclusive edition. Each doll is individually hand-numbered, bears the signature of artist Yolanda Bello, and comes with a matching-number Certificate of Authenticity.
Bring this delightful baby girl, fresh from God’s gardens and delicately scented of baby powder, into your home. Like a spring bouquet, she’ll delight your senses in every way….”
Meagan, who was the 1993 Doll of the Year, had her original edition ended by Ashton Drake in 1994.
I would purchased Meagan in 1994 directly from the Ashton Drake Galleries.
