Thank goodness you still have some dolls that are plastic and you can keep them. It's nice to meet another doll lover. :-)<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Jeanmarie Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974232341270295299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-89929901209793560472011-12-22T14:45:19.534-06:002011-12-22T14:45:19.534-06:00Wonderful...brings up some memories. Me...I have a...Wonderful...brings up some memories. Me...I have almost every doll I ever received, except one...a lifesized boy doll. I never liked that doll, so I must have gotten ride of it somewhere. Two years ago, I dragged down my box of dolls. The box smelled horrible. The of the old dolls..and I mean "old," had rotted--the rubber that was used in the forties was not as good, so it had literally began to disintegrate. They were all baby dolls. I was heartbroken and could not stand to put them in the trash. Instead, I placed them in an old pillow case, tied it up, and gave it to my husband. I promise you, I was crying. I asked him to do something with them..whatever he wanted...just don't tell me.<br />Now, that's just idiotic, but lord, I loved those dolls. Those that are left have hard plastic bodies...maybe they'll last another lifetime.<br />Memories, recollections, anything vintage just melts me. <br />Thanks, Jeanmarie...loved this post.

But I hang onto things that belonged to my grandmothers and my mom before they were given to me. :-)<br /><br />Merry Christmas!Jeanmarie Hamiltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08974232341270295299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-85066991753283605502011-12-22T10:05:27.587-06:002011-12-22T10:05:27.587-06:00Fun post, Jeanmarie.

I get on a binge that my house is cluttered and start taking things to the Goodwill store. <br /><br />But while I don't have any toys left from my childhood. I cling to the dishes and knickknacks that were my grandmothers's. <br /><br />Merry Christmas!Paty Jagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03257614436422105729noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1822452633282744192.post-91824014481636531772011-12-22T09:17:20.502-06:002011-12-22T09:17:20.502-06:00Great post, Jeanmarie.

I have an old doll trunk, like a small version of a steamer trunk, and the doll that came with it. I've wondered if it's collectible to anyone but me. :-)Caroline Clemmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14914658854159456335noreply@blogger.com
