Oh, it was absolutely adorable and soooooo feminine.
A very pretty dark-haired beauty who was fished out of the top of someone's trash, turned out to be the perfect recipient for the dress.
She was thrown out because she had only one leg!
But her face was as pretty as a picture so she got saved by yours truly!
Once a doll lover, always a doll lover.
It was given to me by my late friend, Patti. We went to high school together so we go way back in time together. Oh heavens, how she is missed.
She gave me so many beautiful things throughout the decades and died three months ago.
The three ladies in pink are very comfy in the front hallway, welcoming whoever comes to visit.
WHAT IS ONE COLLECTION THAT BRINGS YOU JOY?

Good morning, Susan. Oh the dolls are lovely and I love the gorgeous dress you discovered. Your late friend would be thrilled that you are using the lovely carriage for these pretties. I have a few of my dolls from childhood and still enjoy them after all these years and the lifetime of memories associated with them,
Oh, she's darling, Susan. She does have a pretty face. I always wonder why these precious dolls are given away, but now that you mentioned one leg is missing. It reminds me of my dear Barbie who I will never give away, and one of the legs is broken, so if you know of anywhere I can repair it, please let me know. Your dolls look cute resting in the carriage, and that blonde one is a beauty. I'm so glad your doll collection brings you joy, Susan.
I have a collection of tea cups in the china cabinet that brings me joy. Every now and then, I take one out and have tea time. : )

Very sorry to hear about Patti's death. I imagine you miss her very much. Take care.
I only have a music box collection and a magnet collection on my refrig. Other than that I have no collections. I'm sure you will enjoy your dolls till death do you part.
Lovely dolls, Susan! You display them in such a lovely way! I have kept a doll or two that our three girls had when they were young. None from my childhood made it through the years. I imagine I collect dishes! They are displayed in the china cabinet, and I use certain ones for specific holidays through the year.
I have two old dolls on display. One I purchased from a flea market inside my mom's apartment building. The pwner was a woman about 75 who loved that I would take care of her baby. She's an old Sonja Henney ice skater doll with the old comopsite face with cracks in it now. And the other is a big rubber display baby doll from the JC Penney's childrens' department in the 1960's. My mom carpooled with amna whose wife worked there and when the store closed he asked her if she wanted it. I was a grandma who gladly took it. Every sixn month old baby in our family has "talked" to this life sized dolly.
