And I too collected dolls. My grandfather used to give me a bad time about all the dolls and stuffed animals that sat along my bookcase style headboard. He'd shake his head today if he were to see the large case filled with hundreds of dolls I still have.Tattered and Losthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208918251232477186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-62305463685623841072013-09-29T08:51:25.924+01:002013-09-29T08:51:25.924+01:00What a wonderful collection of photos.

Like you I loved my dolls and Enid Blyton, though my play time was very much as a tomboy as there were only boys living nearby.

I loved dolls and playing house and any other sort of pretend game. My own girls were not into dolls although the younger one always liked a cuddly thing whether a Pound Puppy, Care Bear, or a nameless stuffed dolphin or zebra. <br /><br />Love Elsie's doll -- and I remember "Elise" from one of your earlier posts.

You were so adorable, such a little cutie, and I think my mother and more so my great-grandma made that same kind of yarn ball! As for bringing dolly along, I always did too, and in fact my most treasured baby doll, is still with me! In a safe place, of course!21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-6021066298150774362013-09-25T17:11:12.267+01:002013-09-25T17:11:12.267+01:00What a perfect choice for a theme with all those w...What a perfect choice for a theme with all those wonderful old photos you have! Too bad the one with the darling little girl holding a teddy isn't identified. I have many unidentified photos on my husband's side of the family. Luckily, his aunt (mother's younger sister) is still with us & will hopefully help me put names to some of them at least. Anyway, what a fun post for this week's Sepia Saturday!La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-427560122717203300.post-25364490237170786022013-09-25T14:31:05.308+01:002013-09-25T14:31:05.308+01:00I really enjoyed this post Sue.

I agree with you regarding our own childhood pictures being limited, and I'm going to have to dig deep in the albums to find something that far back for me. Your descriptions of childhood toys and activities awakened many happy memories for me too. Thank you.Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.com
