When my daughter was young, the Cabbage Patch Doll craze was all the rage one pre-Christmas Season. In our neck of the woods, they were very difficult to get your hands on one. They were selling out store after store. There were rushes on them.
My In-Laws got their hands on one for their Granddaughter.
Her Christmas was very Merry!
I forget her name. Dara Ilene...yep that's the ticket.
Yesterday when thrifting at God's Storehouse, they had a porcelain Cabbage Patch Doll and I fell in LUV with her. She was hiding down on the lowest shelf amongst other dolls lying in a pile. Digging her out of the mess, I purchased her to clean up and add to my dolly collection. She is on a bookshelf in the TV room now smiling down on me. I smile every time I look at her. She's so cute!
Who says that old ladies cannot have dolls?
Now at 71 years of age,
I have my own Cabbage Patch Doll to look at safe and sound.
I think I'll call her Dee Dee.
Score,
