Look! Vintage Emotional Baby Faces

091409-babyfaces.jpg There's a certain level of expectation when walking into a antique store. There's bound to be an iron rooster, mid century dishware, a box of records and so forth. So when we rounded the corner and found ourselves face to face with these "emotional baby faces", we were just a little caught off guard...

 
 

Our first reaction was something along the lines of, "Holy crap, who would ever put that in their house! Plaster babies? What?" But the more we look at them, we don't exactly hate them. They're kinda quirky and fun and although their full of vintage goodness the way they are, we're kind of curious to see what they'd look like all one color. White? Hot Pink? Are they a little too creepy for you? Leave us your thoughts below!

They're very creepy. They'd be even worse painted all one color.

And, you're right, Pennycarnival, they're not as creepy as reborn dolls.

I'm sure those rock someone's socks, but they're not for me. I don't think they look so happy or pleasing on a wall.
