Getting Back on Track
I had a wonderful weekend. I attended a lovely Engagement Party on Long Island, cuz Kathy's daughter (longIslandKat) Katie and fiance Robert. Sunday Kathy took me to my favorite Thrift Shop and I cleaned up like crazy they had a big slash price sale. I bought 3 new tops for myself brand new for around $12.00 for all three. I also bought beautiful baby party dresses for my antique composition dolls. Now I can give these little ladies some new pretty party dresses. My dolls are 28" tall and quite heavy and lifelike little girls, "Mae Starr's". I collect old black rag dolls too. I have downsized and keep them in just one room. Not all over the house, so I do not look that bizarre, LOL. I have always liked dolls since I was a child. Now I have plenty of time to play with them. Still play dolls. Sew their clothes and make them pretty. I was worried for our friends on DS and my Cousin Bob in Galveston, TX. Kathy's brother, these storms are so dangerous. I may just stay put here in New York for a while. At least until hurricane season is over. I had a nice summer considering, losing my Baby Doll Yoda. Thanks to all my friends at DS for understanding. Now I want to join a pool and start to get my body moving better. OK, I am back on track now for the weight, so what else is new!!!! LOL Luv, Ree

mornin, Ree, it\'s good to hear youve had such a wonderful weekend! my partner Lorraine has collected dolls for years and actually the past 3yrs she\'s been downsizing since our move to a condo.
her kids are everywhere and they are so lovely and she just loves them. I have seen some terrific old black ragdolls on ebay - it\'s amazing the variety of styles and clothing and materials that dolls are made in. (dolls for adults more than children I mean0!
i am kind of into the unique buttons that i\'ve seen on many of the doll outfits,and even on their shoes their are often the most interesting buttons and little embellishments.
HUGS!! Sounds like fun, your dolls!!!OXOXO
