Before I show you pictures from TODAY, let me show you 3 pictures of a little girl who enjoys my dolls, too!!!
That's Caroline!
She's a little doll herself, of course!
I'll explain the first one - because it's the very first one I got... and then I'll just post the pictures randomly. (You'll see a Japanese lady, a Russian lady, a little Dutch boy, a Barbie 'Maria' from THE SOUND OF MUSIC, a Madame Alexander 'Cyrano de Bergerac, a Spanish matador ... and many others.)
This first one is a doll from Italy and it was ordered off of a Chef Boyardee brochure that my mother got back in the late 50's when she bought us some spaghettios. Peggy and I spent quite a bit of time looking over the brochure picking which doll we each wanted. We were in the dining room of my Grandmother Ora's house in Oak Cliff/Dallas, and it was so fun. Here's the one I ordered...
She started it all!
Here are some more....
Anyway, that gives you an idea of my doll collection.
I hope you enjoyed those pictures.
(I may do another blog post on my collection... because there are so many!!... but no promises.)
Have a great rest-of-the-week.

I've always loved your doll collection. I too had a doll collection, but I played with mine. I wasn't supposed to, but I couldn't seem to not play with them. I still have the dolls, but they are slightly worn and packed away. My Madame Alexander dolls were my favorites.such pretty faces.
