Her caring nature soon transfered into a hobby, nursing "sick" dolls back to health. She would search flea markets for old clothing that she would make into period appropriate costumes for the newly restored doll. With such an influence in my life, I too have a deep immense love for dolls.<BR/>Thanks for the warm memory.Decor To Adorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04359245078617786198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344281177154314706.post-43427196579647703792008-04-10T23:06:00.000-05:002008-04-10T23:06:00.000-05:00thank you for sharing your most wonderful dolls - ...thank you for sharing your most wonderful dolls - and singing say, say oh playmate! loved it. :)<BR/><BR/>I was a few days late, but did post my own favorites ... if you are interested, feel free to stop by: http://3rdeyemuse.blogspot.com/2008/04/doll-party-worse-than-fashionably-late.html<BR/><BR/>Cheers! ~M~3rdEyeMusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05157947497875794512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344281177154314706.post-69718926217620990952008-04-10T18:43:00.000-05:002008-04-10T18:43:00.000-05:00Hi Sandy, thanks so much for popping by my blog.

About a week ago I visited the Victoria and Albert Museum of Childhood in London and saw the most beautiful dolls houses and dolls. There were Victorian dolls dressed as brides, with wonderful long frothy gowns and veils and their delicate bisque faces painted with astonished looks and there were little cloth dolls with threadbare frocks and comfy little stitched on expressions. The saddest examples were of little baby dolls made to look like a little babe that had, sadly, passed away. My cousin and I spent hours wandering around reminding ourselves of the many toys and games we enjoyed as young children back in the 50's.<BR/>warm hugs, Angela<BR/>www.picturetrail.com/angelaswebyangelaswebyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15450570230777338043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6344281177154314706.post-62192919845156643502008-04-09T07:16:00.000-05:002008-04-09T07:16:00.000-05:00Wow..wow, wow!
