Lookie Lookie,, (yesterday) I found my old friend Mary Jane..
Ok, not Farm Girl Mary Jane,,, but rather my doll I bought back in the early 1980's.
I use to collect Madame Alexander dolls but this one just caught my eye so I bought it.
I was unpacking yet another box when I found my dolls,,, it was fun to spend time with them.

Aww Grace she is a purty doll!!! My mother collected them as well. Unfortunately my sisters and I were total to boys and never appreciated her collection and they were sold before she passed. So sad! I wish I had a couple now to pass onto my granddaughter! How fun to unpack and find treasures forgotten!!

Yes... every time I unpack a box it's like my birthday...
Wish I could stay focused on unpacking. But we are also being diligent
about purging unnecessary stuff/clutter... so a lot of stuff gets
re-boxed and set aside for a Spring / barn yard sale.

Your doll is so pretty and smart looking. All of my dolls have been in storage for 11 years. I have a Cabbage Patch doll and an American girl doll and a Bitty Baby doll and many more from my childhood. I have already told my daughter that when I am old and muddle headed she must bring me a doll and one change of clothes. I have no doubt that I will take my Dollie everywhere.
Well behaved women rarely make history.

Love this post! Love the doll! I have a few dolls, too. One is “Pussycat”, a blond babydoll from Madame Alexander. I bought her from a tag sale, she is exactly like the one I had when I was a child. I have a few from my childhood, too.
Joey, you crack me up! I can’t believe how many things we have in common; after all these years, I am still discovering things about you we both are similar about!
Farmgirl Hugs,
Nicole

I had a doll with long blonde, ringlet hair ... her name was Mary Ann. I'll have to post a pic of her. I didn't know she went into the attic at the farmhouse until AFTER my younger sister sold her at a yard sale. She and her hubby were living in the farmhouse, cleaning out stuff and sold a bunch of things at a yard sale. I was so sad!!

As a little girl.. we movered every 2 years... so I wasn't
able to own much in the way of personal possessions.
So what few dolls I had were few. I remember envying
some of my friends who were able to have 'stuff '...
perhaps that is why I am such s "collector of stuff"...
Lololol!

Grace...she is Adorable! I just bought my first ever BARBIE Doll (thanks to Connie Warren sending me an alert)...Barbie is a Farmgirl!! And she even has a
little chicken under her arm. And she has on her work boots, faded jeans and a plaid summer top on. She is just too cute! If anyone else wants a Barbie Farmgirl
you can find her at Walmart or on-line. I will enjoy her and also let my grand-daughter play with her when she is over.
But WHO would have thought I would be 67 yrs old before I got my first Barbie?????? Just goes to show...you never get to old for Dolls!!!
Love and Hugs,
Peggy

I too have several of my dolls including Barbie (currently stored) from my childhood. One day I hope to have a granddaughter who will appreciate them. I have four sons! I also have handmade clothing form my dolls and Barbie dolls which were made by my Grandmother. Such intricate work on such small tiny clothes! She was a true seamstress!
