I loved your presentation. I especially loved seeing the beautiful clothes that the grandmother made. How special that they survived all those years. Thank you for sharing.
Raggedy Ann stories made me think my dolls lived a life when I left the room-I used to pose them and check them when I returned to my room. So sweet. Wonderful program-thank you for sharing with us!
Michael, as ever, your stories and beautiful doll collections which you so selflessly share, bring me incalculable joy! I am hoping to drive all the way from Southeastern Pennsylvania in 2024 so I can meet you and purchase at least one doll to begin my own collection. I had a mentor as a young girl who had a huge collection of dolls and my penchant for them has stayed with me my entire life. Thank you so much for all that you do.You are a treasure unto yourself.
Beautiful story, thank you for sharing this with us. So beautiful treasures, I’m so pleased she left her treasures with you so they can be looked after and enjoyed by more people.
Another wonderful presentation I missed until now, thank you! I don't remember any of my friends in the 1950s not believing dolls were live. We would never have left one undressed, lying on the floor or the baby ones out of a crib, even if the crib was just a cushion inside a cardboard box with a little blanket. Perhaps the fact we had only between one and five or six in the whole of childhood made them closer friends. Perhaps the very volume of dolls, their low cost and the lack of sewing grandmas, aunts and mother who spend time making clothes for a child's dolls or bears make them less real feeling to children today?
Thank you for a trip down Memory Lane! I read this story over and over as a child- it was in Better Homes and Gardens Story Book, an anthology of stories and poems. To this day, I don't like to have naked or damaged dolls! I try to dress them and mend them as quickly as possible- even if it's just a dolly bathrobe! I remember thinking how unfair it was for Dinah to do all the work with her leg on backwards, and felt so sad for the poor dead doll fished out of the rainbarrel, and Oh! I wanted SO MUCH to go to the farm and "harvest" such lovely dresses and hats and parasols, even though my childhood dolls were all "mod" and wore miniskirts and bell bottoms. I loved this program so much. Thank you.
That was so interesting, what a shame children are more ininterested in pressing buttons now ! Love the video thankyou so much for sharing just wonderful!❤😊
