Hi everyone,
I wasn’t able to put a post together for today, so I’ll ask a question… since this is “supposed” to be a blog about dolls and sewing for them, let’s find out something…
Who is the doll you would most like to have added to your collection if you could get her?
Now that should start a little discussion.
I’ll see you tomorrow,
Blessings, Jeanne
Hm, good question, Jeanne. I think the doll I’d most like to have added to my collection was the ballerina doll my cousin Carol had when we were kids. I absolutely loved that doll, and of course it was way beyond what we could have afforded. I remember she had “real Capezio shoes” (it said on the box, and the shoes did have the Capezio brand embossed on the soles) which fit on her en pointe feet, and a lovely pink (I think) ballet costume. She was fully jointed and posable, too. OH, how I wanted a doll like that!! When Carol was done playing with it (and in those days she really didn’t play with dolls nearly as much as I did; now she does collect dolls, but primarily Madame Alexanders), her mother gave it to our younger cousin….who also didn’t play with dolls much!! And she didn’t remember what might have happened to it after that (I asked once, long ago)!
I would also love to find the small baby doll I loved so much as a child, but she was rubber, and I’m sure would be in pretty poor shape by now. Her fingers had already started wearing off by the time I gave her to a neighbor girl when I was 14 and we were about to move out here. Mom said I couldn’t keep All my dolls, so I gave away the smallest one. But she had a portable bathinette which really held water, as well as a set of nursing bottles, rack, and sterilizer, some plastic pants and her drink/wet bottle, and a few clothes that mom had made. I had so much fun playing with her!
