I've always loved dolls. I got my first doll at age 6 months, for a Christmas gift from my parents. Yes, I still have her along with one original shoe. She was nearly as big as me!
I longed for a Barbie doll when I was older, but my mom thought it best to give me a knock off doll with a flat chest for my 5th birthday. She thought Barbie's big boobs were indecent! Here is a picture of the doll with the case she came in: The dress she is wearing has a bow around the waist. I learned how to tie a bow using this very same dress!
I have the date wrong on this picture. I got Skipper when I was 11 years old; 1971. She's wearing a dress I spent my money on at the local Farmer's Market in New Westminster. It's handmade and was $1.25 back in the 1970's.

That baby picture is sooo cute!! I love all your childhood dolls too. I can't believe you still have things like the shoes all these years later!! I had a blonde Francie. Oh how I loved that doll...
You still have all those dolls! That's amazing. The baby picture is adorable and that doll is huge. You're so fortunate to have so many of your childhood dolls.
The baby pictures is adorable- Did you ever have a doll called Tracy? A doll you could pull the hair out to make it longer. Happy Pinks!
I still have some of my dolls also. But you are kidding right? Do you really have all those Chatty Kathys? My cousin would flip. I never had one, but she would love one! Your header is adorable! Happy PINK Saturday!
