Hi! Of course it's never too late to show these beautiful girls! Ooh I like them. I have collected Barbies for quite a long time and occasionaly I read something about madame Alexander dolls as well, but see such a bunch it's really awesome! Love what you did with those hankies too! Have a nice weekend!
Ele what beautiful dolls you have. I think my favourite would have to be Baby Huggums. What a great way to use the vintage hankies Have a great weekend Alison
You have a beautiful doll collection! My mom has 3 Madame Alexander dolls from the 1950's. Love them.
And your hanky pillow is gorgeous! I missed out on the Sunday Show and Tells too.

That's quite a collection of beautiful dolls. You know....I don't have one doll from my childhood and never had any Barbies but I do still have my child size sewing machine, and all the doll furniture my father made me. Hope you're having a great weekend Ele.
Oh my goodness, I'm in love with your dolls. My parents were certainly slacking in doll-giving-category. I'm going to take them to task, lol! I am amazed that you kept yours soooo lovely! My dolls were trashed, perhaps my parents knew best!!
Oh Ele, I cannot belive I missed the doll post......we have been busy in the yard. I am IN LoVE with the dolls. I'm coming over to play dolls right away :) We will have tea and I'll bring McFelius. Hope you're doing great. xo
I came over here from Ceekay's blog, looked around, and was just about to leave when I scrolled down to the Madam Alexander dolls. What a gorgeous collection. I have one Madam Alexander doll that I got for Christmas when I was 6 years old. That was in 1942. It is a Jeannie Walker doll. I still have it and featured it on my blog a while back. I made porcelain dolls back in the 80s. I have featured many of them on my blog and have a scrapbook at the bottom of my blog if you would like to come see it sometime. I would love to have you visit.
Gotta love those dollies! My favs are the bride dolls, both the ROCCO & the one from your dear daddy. How special ~ thanks so much for sharing!

I love all of your dolls! I just came across the Sleeping Beauty doll you have at a garage sale for 10.00! I was so excited when I saw her! I knew I had seen her before recently, but couldnt remember where! hee!hee! She is my first Madame Alexander doll. Now after seeing your beautiful collection, I think I might have to start hunting a few more! They are such pretty dolls! Thanks so much for sharing with us.
oh what pretty dolls! and your hanky pillow and sachet project are both so pretty.

As a child, I was fortunate enough to receive Madame Alexander dolls as gifts from my parents. I have taken pictures of a few of my favorites.
The first picture is Sleeping Beauty in the blue along with a pink school girl.
Not Madame Alexander, but very special to me. My father won me this Bride doll at Bingo at the Fair when I was a little girl. The whole time he kept telling me he was saving his "points" for an electric blanket! Much better then an electric blanket, don't you think?

A girl just has to have a few Barbies too!
