M...You sure have instigated a wave of memories MA. My doll was a baby doll. Her name was Trixie. Unfortunately she lost her head during the war. I kept her carefully in a box until after the war and then took her to the doll hospital as soon as it reopened. When she was all fixed up my mother said I was a bit too old for dolls now and that there were needy children who should have a doll. So, bye bye Trixie. Sometimes this charity thing is for the birds!dogonarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039309898163644561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-20758697910917561462009-07-06T23:20:17.974-04:002009-07-06T23:20:17.974-04:00It sure is the same doll MA!

Her original dress fell apart, it was pink. I don't remember anything else. She is a baby doll, not a bride, does not walk, is not 3 ft. tall, has red hair. Her body I've always cleaned with alcohol swabs, but not too often. I found an old baby doll dress that fit her pretty good and that is what she is wearing now. I played with her a lot, as she was really my only doll.Yvonnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14584848020504689004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-19544589843676522172009-07-06T22:30:06.481-04:002009-07-06T22:30:06.481-04:00MA I had an Australian made vinyl doll which looke...MA I had an Australian made vinyl doll which looked very similar to this one, must have been based on the same doll. Her name is Sue and she still has her original dress and hat, but I lost the little shoes. She also suffers from vinyl decay, nothing can be done about it unless you take them to a doll hospital for expensive treatment, and then there's no guarantee. I also had a hard plastic walking doll I named Margaret, I still have her as well, but she's broken quite badly. I haven't the heart to toss her out though, she lives in a box with the panda bear who's lost his music box from my childhood. There was also a very soft plastic glamorous air hostess dolly given to me after a piano recital, not sure what happened to her.<br />Thanks for the memories,<br />Hooroo,<br />Christine.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16363036334664983388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-30079950063581369592009-07-06T19:14:45.572-04:002009-07-06T19:14:45.572-04:00You sure have brought back memories for me MA.
My ...You sure have brought back memories for me MA.<br />My doll looked the same as yours and I had carted her all around Australia as we moved to different States.<br />But alas in the last move she decided that she had had enough and she ranaway.<br />It was several years before I realised that she was no longer with me.<br />I got her for my eighth birthday and she was dressed as a bride.<br />Her name was Susan.Doreen Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14443929494814440393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24429902.post-88336109930867942032009-07-06T14:46:22.630-04:002009-07-06T14:46:22.630-04:00She looks a lot like Rusty.
