The old guy probably was of good value as it was a classic old one. Nice post today with all their companions.L.

They give us comfort when we're little but then we outgrow them and move on. I still have my old teddy--can hardy believe it, really.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-89838026094679355362010-11-07T00:09:22.330-04:002010-11-07T00:09:22.330-04:00Kerry, I'm sure your daughter is thrilled that...Kerry, I'm sure your daughter is thrilled that you're going to the effort to provide a "home" for her doll.

She's so into it that this weekend we are transforming an old microwave cart into a closet for the doll...completely with a disco ball and pink shag rug.Kerry Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17590443839479686201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-37086944246792861042010-11-06T12:57:30.777-04:002010-11-06T12:57:30.777-04:00Wonderful! your Dad's doll looks as if it migh...Wonderful! your Dad's doll looks as if it might have been a ventriloquist doll.

After my children were old enough to go out and not be home for dinner I bought two Cabbage Patch dolls and set them at the dinner table in their places.MuseSwingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999288873532715380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-7385747167810870592010-11-06T09:43:35.962-04:002010-11-06T09:43:35.962-04:00love your daughter's baby carrier. i wonder w...love your daughter's baby carrier. i wonder what happened to the dolls that used to be at my grandmother's? haven't thought about them in years.Kristinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413795611563683135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6892358786681938797.post-19656511236306038712010-11-06T04:28:25.002-04:002010-11-06T04:28:25.002-04:00Wonderful photos and story to go with them.

I am lucky to have my mother-in-law's doll which would be about 80 years old now.Marilyn & Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00851884880790561276noreply@blogger.com
