I remember playing with my mother's glass-headed doll. We'd just moved into our house, carpet hadn't been laid yet. She just seemed to roll off the coffee table by herself, and the glorious head broke. I think it was my first taste of grief...I was five. Then I remember my life-size Patty Play pal doll. Most of all, my Barbie! Two Christmases ago, my son and his family got me the 50th anniversary edition of that very Barbie. I just bawled. No leaving her safe and collectible in a box. I bought clothes and play with her. xoxox Hi Tracy, sorry to get here so late. I remember playing with my mother’s glass-headed doll. We’d just moved into our house, carpet hadn’t been laid yet.

I'm. Enjoying everyone's doll memories. I wasn't a huge fan of dolls, but I remember having one who's hair "grew" and could be shortened by turning a dial in her back. I have a doll that belonged to my grandmother. It's a Sioux Indian likeness complete with his original red and black wool blanket. Hello all! I’m. Enjoying everyone’s doll memories.

I still have her along with the cradle my grandfather made for her. As I got older, my sister and I spent many, MANY an hour with Barbie The doll I played with the most as a pre-schooler was a Betsy-wetsy.

I loved dolls and still have the last doll given to me by Santa. She is dressed in her original outfit and is about 58 years old. She looks a little like the Shirley temple dolls but is not. One doll that I wish I had back is my Bonnie Braids doll but my mother made me give her to a cousin when she was moving away. Plus mother felt that I was getting too old for dolls. Little did she know that I still play with dolls. I make cloth dolls and I play with paper dolls with an little girl I can get to play with me. But then that is another whole story.
