I think what you have is an imitation of a Holly Hobbie doll from the late 1960's or early 1970's:

The face seems a little different. Her eyes are buttons and her mouth is a heart. Did they make them that way?

No, I think this is a knock-off in that style. That is what I meant when I said I believe it is an imitation of a Holly Hobbie.

Look in old issues of Country Living magazines from that time period and you will find these dolls !!  Late 60`s and 70`s !!  Popular as crafts too !!
