I think it's wonderful you love dolls so much. My mother does too but the reason she loves hers so at 87 is because she didn't have but one as a little girl. She had 9 bros and sis and they were poor and just didn't get toys. So every Christmas, I buy her a doll. :)<br />Oh, thank you for sharing my party button and wait for you to come to my party! Thank you for your sweet comments on my tiny kitchen.<br />Be a sweetie,<br />Shelia ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-68805390310887834352011-03-26T16:13:43.948-07:002011-03-26T16:13:43.948-07:00Mona, now that is a real baby doll.

I love seeing pictures of your little Mele; she looks just like my little Sandi who went over the rainbow a few years ago. I now have 3 Irish Wolfhounds but will soon be puppy shopping.

Incredible talent. May I ask who the artist is? Those outfits! I have 5 grandchildren, 4 wonderful grandsons and 1 princess granddaughter who was never really into dolls. We live in Florida and I think being so active outside so much of the year, in the pool during the summers etc took away from playing with dolls. I myself love dolls. I collect Vogue Ginny, the current ones, not the vintage ones I had. I also collect teddies and such and in fact, my hubby just bought me a beautiful doll in New Orleans toy store. Dressed in vintage beauty to match my new studio in progress. I have two daughters and my son. Loved being a mom, only career I ever wanted, lol. You don't need any reason to love dolls. Trust me, many of us do or they would not have the toy stores. The lady in the toy store in NOLA was telling us about when she first started at the store years ago. An older women bought a doll and the women asked the customer, "how old the child was". The customer was very upset and stated it was not for a child but for herself. The clerk told us since then she has seen 75% of purchases be for the women herself or a husband of a women who loves dolls. Again, may I have the artist who made this incredible baby doll?

Ohhh...your little "Lizz...Hello sweet lady...<br /><br />Ohhh...your little "Lizzie" is just precious!!! Okay...I have to tell you...this little baby doll could be my firstborn grandson...I kid you not! He looked just like your little Lizzie when he was first born. His little rosebud lips are identical! In fact, I called him Rosebud at the very beginning...until I realized that that nickname wasn't befitting a boy. So I shortened the nickname from Rosebud...to just Bud! His real name is Antonio (Tony for short). He is 18 yrs. old and in the Air Force. I'm sooo very proud of him! But...to this very day...I call him Bud! Well dear friend, it seems that your little Lizzie took me on a "bunny trail"...sorry, I am just yakking away! Hehe! I just adore all the little outfits that you have for her! Ohhh...that pink chenille romper is just precious! And...I love, love, LOVE the black and white dress outfit! Simply adorable!!! I completely understand your interest in dolls...I love them too! I have a baby...baby doll! That a dear friend made for me out of porcelain. She handpainted the face and body and like your little Lizzie...put in each little eyelash...one by one! This sweet friend has gone on now...to be with Jesus...so this baby doll that she made for me is such a precious and cherished treasure to me!!! Mona, I'm so glad that you shared your precious little Lizzie with us today...this was such a treat!!! I often visit Diane (Lavender Dreams)...love seeing her fabulous collection of dolls! Aren't they wonderful?<br /><br />Well dear friend, guess I better close this book! Hehe! Sorry that you are getting so much rain. Send it my way...we are in a drought situation at our place. Today, the wind is blowing sooo hard that it is making the siding bang! Sheeesh! Are we ever happy with our weather? Hehe! <br /><br />Love ya, sweet friend!<br />Chari<br /><br />PS...Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a peek at my spring fireplace mantel!

Your love of dolls reminds me of my Grandmother. She had a room full of beautiful dolls and I would go and play with them for hours. She always made clothes for my barbies too..good memories!

...that's a darling little doll. just precious.<br /><br />Oh, yes, we live in the heart of the Dust Bowl.<br />This is why I don't like spring. we have terrible sand/dust storms all thru the spring...sometimes, depending on rain (or lack of)on into early summer. Once we pass them, tho, our summers are hot but very nice. We didn't have one good snow or any rain all thru the winter this year so I know we are really in for a tuff spring. :(<br />xoxobjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432398383127199206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-65901235197119922952011-03-23T14:33:46.729-07:002011-03-23T14:33:46.729-07:00Dear Mona, I want you to know that if you ever get...Dear Mona, I want you to know that if you ever get fed up with that gorgeous baby girl, she can come and live at my place! She is gorgeous and your post came on a morning after I'd just had a dream about finding a baby girl. My mum and I were just deciding if we could keep her without anybody being too concerned! as if! and how we'd have to go and get lots of things for her upkeep, when I woke up. Bother. I was enjoying that dream, coming off the back of my looking after my new grandson when I get back to England.<br />Anyway, I digress.. what make is that doll? please. I want one. I need one... like you - no hope for me.<br />After all, you've already got a teddy bear of the finest quality, haven't you.<br />Star (green) xStella Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699491230987143490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-86187194014745447822011-03-23T13:28:41.543-07:002011-03-23T13:28:41.543-07:00So love these dolls, Mona.
