My doll's sweet faces cheer me...This doll is from Germany and was a gift from Andee when they were still in the Air Force and stationed there. Can you imagine how excited I was to get this package in the mail!
This German doll, also a gift from Andee...
This one was a gift from Poppy a few years back. She is from the 1970's...
Growing up, from the time I learned to walk until I was sixteen, there was hardly a time that I did not have a doll in my arms. Seriously. Some time last year I posted about my dolls and growing up.
Most of my dolls today were found in thrift stores. I find them all dirty and needing clothes. This baby doll is from 1970. ..
It makes me happy to hold these doll. This one came from a thrift shop, not that old, just beautiful...
Another doll from Germany. This one is tiny and sweet and porcelain. Thank you Andee!
This is me with my doll many years ago standing amongst the big lovely Azaleas down in Summerville, South Carolina...
Gosh, if only we could go back and do it all one more time.
So, the sewing room makes me happy. I've finished another bonnet and apron...
The apron I am working on now from that new pattern looks really cute. Hope to show you that one soon.
Thank you for listening today. I appreciate you all so much!
Love,
Henny Penny
I hope your system settles itself soon, but it looks as though you've got the perfect place to speed healing.
ReplyDeleteFeel better!
Marty, thank you. I have probably just overdone it lately, and all these tick bites!
DeleteOh I hope you feel better soon! Love your dolls, especially the first one! I might have loved dolls more as a child if someone had gotten me one of these instead of dumb old barbies.
ReplyDeleteThank you Terri. Barbies came along when my daughters were young and they played with them. The big dolls are just sweeter and better to hold, aren't they?
DeleteBeautiful dolls!! I hope you are feeling better real soon. Feeling bad really sucks!!! I love you!
ReplyDeleteThank you Vicki. And, you should know, as sick as you have been! Hope you are feeling better!
DeleteIt looks like you have a house full of treasures. Being surrounded by the things you love should help you feel better.
ReplyDeleteThat does help, doesn't it? :)
DeleteI love your dolls! I loved dolls when I was a kid, and then I had a second chance when my daughters loved them, too. So sweet of your daughter to send them to you. I hope you feel better quickly and don't need your doctor appointment on Monday.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cynthia. It was fun buying dolls for my daughters too. I am a little worried about all these tick bites I have. That could be why I am feeling sick.
DeleteDolls they are wonderful. I still look in antique stores for Diana, a doll my grandmother gave me when I was 5 complete with a handmade set of clothes---- dresses, coat and hat, prom dress, pajamas all encased in a little red houndstooth suitcase. I do so wish I still had all those things.
ReplyDeleteOh Victoria, I know how you feel. I would love to have all my dolls back. It is sad that I don't know what happened to any of them. My Mom and Dad divorced after 25 years of marriage. I had joined the Air Force...it was a mess. :)
ReplyDeleteJust looking at your lovely dolls brings back memories of mine. I actually have my old "Mary Ann", and my sister found an old magazine advertisement that feature the exact doll.From Harriet Hubbard Ayer, doll of beauty, with her own cosmetic kit! I have it framed, and I should have Mary Ann restored with new pinnings inside for her arms and legs. My granddaughters will enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI do hope you will be feeling better soon, I think tick bites, in quantity, are something to be careful with. Best to let the expert look you over just in case. I will be sending healing wishes, my friend.
Take care,
Pam
You are so lucky to still have one of your dolls. I would love to see what "Mary Ann" looks like. I might find her on line .I do worry about getting too many tick bites. That is probably what is making me feel sick. Thank you Pam.
DeleteWhat beautiful dolls! I was more of a tom boy...probably because of my brother. Your apron and bonnett are so cute! :) Hope you feel better soon
ReplyDeleteThank you! Gosh, I feel terrible even saying I feel bad, knowing all that you and Far Guy have been through! Hope you both are getting well!
DeleteHope you are feeling better by now, or have some answers at least. I don't like the sound of all those tick bites:(
ReplyDeleteThose are some beautiful dolls. I still have a childhood doll. My mother made a wedding dress and fur coat for her. I have my straw stuffed teddy bear too:)
