gorgeous bunk bed!! Wow. my girls would go crazy for that LOL!
My favorite doll memory – when I got a cabbage patch doll. and a record of cabbage patch songs to go with it to play on my fisher price record player. We would play and sing and I loved my doll. Also, I thought her names was on the butt, not the designers name and was so upset because I couldn’t read it! ROFL!! My middle girl is a totally baby doll kid. I think she started to cuddle with dolls before she turned a year. I loved it.

My sister’s name is Kelly and one year when we were like 6 & 8 yo, we got Quick Curl Barbie and Quick Curl Kelly and we thought that was just so cool that they made them just for us!!

My favorite doll memory would have to be a cabbage patch kid that I got when I was little. I took her with me everywhere I went! I actually still have her!

I just tweeted it here: http://twitter.com/AprilTara/status/1039553925
My little Princess absolutely loves dolls and we were looking at some online last weekend to add to her Christmas list. I was telling her about the kind of dolls I had when I was little, so “doll memories” have been on my mind recently. She got a toy stroller and carrier for her birthday but the bed she had fell apart so she would love this!
I was a total tomboy growing up so I didn’t have many baby dolls or Barbies, so of course I remember the few that I did have. I had a Cher doll and a Western Barbie (OMG the blue eyeshadow!) and a baby doll that “wet” and even got diaper rash! But my absolute favorite was my Crissy doll. She had this dark auburn hair and a ponytail that came out of the top of her head. You could pull it out so that it was really long or you could pull a string to tuck it back in and she would have short hair. Oh man, I loved that doll. I painted her toe nails and begged my mom to buy me real diapers for her. I’ve even checked eBay once in a while to see if I can find one like her.
December 4th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
My daughter loves her dolls and her stuffed animals. She puts them all to bed before she will go to sleep. Her favorites are tucked into bed with her. Dolls, for her, are only second to coloring.

remember those dollas that had the ponytail that went in and out? want to say tressy doll, well anyway guess I played too hard and when I was carrrying her around the long big ponytail fell out and mom walked up screaming and jumping on a chair thinking it was arat…it was scary becuase I did not know it was the hair…now I can laugh but then I was sad, he hair got glued back in and never was the same.
December 4th, 2008 at 10:03 pm
My daughter has had the same baby doll since she turned one. She knits her hair every night as she sleeps and has given the dollie blonde dreadlocks. Her name is “Special Doll” and she claims she will still need her even when she is 17. She’d love to win this doll bed for her American Dolls to sleep in. Thanks!
December 4th, 2008 at 10:04 pm
My favorite memory is actually how creative my kids are at taking care of their dolls. They each have one American Girl doll (youngest has Bitty Baby) and have come up with the most interesting beds for their dolls. One used foam puzzle pieces to make a bed. Another one used a vinyl coated wire organizing rack for hers.

I have so many but my favorite doll when I was little was a Raggedy Anne doll that was hand made just for me. IT was rough at home and at age 5 I went into foster care and didn’t get to take my doll but I never forgot her. My first Christmas married to my husband he bought me an exact replica of my raggedy anne from when I was little. That is probably my best memory.
December 5th, 2008 at 1:52 am
My favorite doll memory is the Christmas my sister and I got Ginny Dolls. I don’t ever see them any more, not sure if they still are sold or not. In any case, waking up to see that my sister got the blonde doll and I got the brunette meant that I really did have my very own doll. I spent countless hours dressing her.

The only doll I owned when I was younger was a 12 inch GI Joe with a kung fu grip.

My favorite doll memory is when I bought my son a doll. It was a boy doll that was blue. My husband freaked out until I told him that it would teach our son nurturing skills. He looked at me like I was the smartest woman in the world. Ha ha!

My favorite doll memory is of my Cabbage Patch doll. I wanted one of these dolls for the longest time. They were very popular and very hard to get. My parents kept trying and trying. Then, my Aunt surprised me one day with one. I guess because I wanted the doll for so long and so badly, that this doll really left an impression on my childhood. I carried it everywhere and treated it just like a real baby. I now have children and it’s been quite awhile, but I still have my doll. One of the only toys that I saved from my childhood.
Thanks so much and please enter me and Happy Holidays!

One year my aunt took me to see The Nutcracker in NYC. Sitting behind me were girls holding their dolls in fur coats! (the dolls were wearing them). I told my mom about them when I got home. That Christmas, my mom surprised me with 3 faux fur coats that SHE MADE for my dolls. I still have a picture of the dolls wearing them in my living room! It was so great!
December 5th, 2008 at 6:39 am
My grandmother collected dolls and every Christmas she would decorate her giant picture window with an incredible display of her dolls arranged in a Christmas scene. People from all over would drive by her house to see the beautiful window. Every year a newspaper would come out and photograph the window for a news story.
Even now, 27 years after my grandfather passed away and my grandmother moved from her large home to a small apartment, I still have people mention how much they enjoyed our wonderful family Christmas tradition. It’s one of my favorite memories.
We now carry on this tradition in our home, albeit in a much smaller scale. My daughters love it and immediately after Thanksgiving they drag out the dolls, decorations and Santa suit so we can decorate our window.

December 5th, 2008 at 8:31 am
In 1970, I had my tonsils and adnoids removed during the Christmas break from school. My only request was for a BOY doll for christmas. Back then boy dolls were basically unheard of. My Mother searched and searched for that doll. I will never forget how happy I was when I opened that package!!
December 5th, 2008 at 8:53 am
When I was 7, I got a beautiful Madame Alexander baby doll for Christmas. I didn’t really play with dolls because I had the real thing in my baby sister. The next year, money was really tight so my parents asked if my sister could have the doll for Christmas. I didn’t hesitate in saying yes because I loved my sister that much. She still has the doll to this day, not knowing the story behind it.

When I was little and we went shopping my mom would let me put my doll in the front of the shopping cart just like a baby!
December 5th, 2008 at 9:33 am
My favorite doll memory is when Barbie was promoting the new blond dolls (they had been dark haired with plastic hair), they had a promotion where you traded your old doll for one of the new ones. Me and my sister both traded for fancy new blond Barbies-we thought they were so beautiful. I wish now of course, that I hadn’t traded because my Barbie would be worth a small fortune!

My favorite doll memory? Does it count if it’s a Barbie doll? When I was 6, I got the Marie Osmond Barbie doll for Xmas. I can still remember the outfit she came in and the teeny tiny microphone she could hold in her hand. She had big 1980s hair too *lol*

My very first doll was from a very nice family I first met when I came to America 27 years ago. I was 10 years old then and it was during Christmas time. I didn’t know anybody and one day a little girl my age came over with her parents and introduced themselfves and the little girl gave me this really pretty doll that her grandma made for her. I was so blessed and humble and until today I still have this doll in my room. I named her Michelle after the little girl’s name. She since moved away and I hope one day I will find her and her family so I can show her how much I aprreciate their thoughfulness. Thank you for this lovely giveaway, my daughter also have dolls and she would be thrilled if I win this for her for Xmas. Thanks.

My sister and I had all kinds of dolls growing up because my dad traveled for work a lot and would bring us new ones back, but the one memory that really sticks with me is how we used to play school with all of them. We had bunkbeds ourselves so we’d put some on the top bunk and some on the bottom bunk while we taught school. When it was time for recess we’d put them all in the carriage and take them outside on the patio. Our poor puppy dog would end up getting in on it too because we’d make him yard monitor while we went in and got lunch. So, there wasn’t any one particular doll that I remember because we loved them all just the same.
December 5th, 2008 at 11:05 am
When I was little my girl cousin and I both received the same doll from our Great-Grandma. Hers was named after me and mine was named after her. My girl cousin lived out of the country and so it was a reminder of us being cousins although we didn’t get to see each other much. Now my doll sits in a special spot and reminds me of my loving Great-Grandma.
December 5th, 2008 at 11:51 am
For Christmas I got a beautiful blond haired walking doll. I was so thrilled with this 18 inch beauty. I braided her hair and had her walk with me. She opened and closed her blue eyes. My brothers thought she was so neat that they decided to see if they could make her walk without moving her head. Of course she broke. The doll wasnt fixable and in the 1960s, money was very tight for a family of six children. I never had a doll this wonderful again and my brothers have still not replaced her for me. LOL

My name is Gina Chen at gchen@syracuse.com
Here’s my doll memory.
When I was a little girl, probably about 5, I had this huge rag doll called, appropriatedly enough Randa. She looked like an oversized Raggedy Anne, but she had a hard plastic face. She had legs clad in white-and-red stripped tights just like Raggedy Anne, but she was taller than my age.
I loved her so much.
Then one day, her face cracked, right near her chin. Stuffing started pouring out. I was crushed. To calm my tears, my mom told me she’d send the doll to the hospital to help her get better.
I was relieved. I waited and waited. And waited and waited. But Randa never came back. One day, about a year later, I found her, stuffed in the top of my closet. I’m not sure what crushed me more — that Randa wasn’t fixed or that my mom lied about it.

I forgot to tell you that we gave Sophia the doll armoire we bought from you for her birthday! You should have seen her face! she absolutely loved it!!! Hasn’t stopped playing with it since. It is perfect! I’ll get you some pictures as soon as I have a spare moment… yah right!
I think my favorite memory was when Sophia got her first AG doll. We went to the AG store in Chicago and she went through the whole process and was so overwhelmed she almost got choked up. It was a really cold Winter day and we had gone though a LOT to get there. She picked out a “Just Like Me” doll, so her doll has red hair just like her. And at the end of the process she named her…. “Sophia” yep, quite original! LOL!
I’d love to win this bed for her doll… Sophia would LOVE it!

My little girl recently has become obsessed and in love with her doll. She of course wants some fun clothes for the doll, but when we realized the clothes cost more than HER clothes she realized that was out of the question. Anyway, she has begun using my fabric scraps to ‘create’ her own doll clothing. And it’s hard to tell whether it seems all white trash or just plain sweet… but she’s so intense about it. And my fabric scraps are from my designer bags and totes, so they are sweet scraps… but still!
found some inexpensive knock off clothing, and she will be sooo happy to get them for Christmas… but the beds…? Oh my heck, HEAVEN! She’s 7, and seems like this kind of intensity with the dolls won’t last much longer you know?

I got twin (boy and a girl) cabbage patch dolls for Christmas when I was a kid. I had wanted a cabbage patch doll for three years so it was a big deal to me. My mom sewed several matching outfits for them and they were my most loved toys I had during my childhood.
December 6th, 2008 at 1:16 am
From the very moment I can remember I never wanted to be anything but a wife and mommy. I started playing mommy very early and never really stopped. It was a constant responsibility for me. My doll was my baby, to me she was really and I had to care for her every moment of the day. If I went, she went. While at school, which I pretended was work and in twelve years would retire to be a stay at home mom, she stayed with a babysetter. She was always dressed in beautiful little dresses, which were either mine when I was a baby or new ones, both of which were hand made by my grandmother. She had her own crib filled with handmade blankets. She was blessed and so I … I knew that a mom was all I ever wanted to be!

I hope my granddaughter has the same love of dalls as I did, because I want to get to play again

My favorite doll memory is the of the year when times were too tough to afford new dolls for our girls for Christmas. In desperation I took their favorite old dolls, bathed them, gave them fresh hairdos. and used scraps of material to make them new clothing and quilts—then hid them in the trunk of our car because we were headed over the river and through the woods to Grandma’s house for Christmas Day. Will never forget the wonderment in the girls’ eyes the next morning when they found their favorite friends had magically appeared under Grandma’s tree looking grand spanking new! Don’t think they ever loved Santa as much as they did that day!

I Stumbled!
December 7th, 2008 at 7:23 pm
I came here thinking I’d write about my Cabbage Patch doll. As I scrolled down to the bottom of the comments, I noticed quite a few memories listing CP dolls. I guess there are a lot of us out there who remember what it was like…
Cabbage Patch dolls really understood that we little girls wanted to be mothers more than anything else. They came with adoption papers and real names. And they were sort of heavy so they felt like real babies.
I was in fourth grade when I got my CP doll. They were flying off the shelves everywhere so my mother and I stood in line outside of Toys R Us for at least an hour before it opened. Once the doors opened, everyone rushed in and scrambled trying to find the doll aisle. Nowadays, this type of behavior is commonplace, especially on Black Friday, but back then, we were CRAZY to do this.
When we finally found the dolls, it was all out warfare. My mother actually got into a tug-of-war over my doll! And then, when we were in line, the woman in front asked to trade but I said no. I just knew my doll was meant for me.
His name is Pete Len. He came in a blue corduroy suite and his bald head smelled like baby powder (still does). I loved that doll with all of my heart. I had all the accessories and eventually, they were the only toys I’d ask for. I remember eventually only getting clothes for myself and Pete on Christmas.
I still have Pete, his blue corduroy suit and even a white and black Saturday Night Fever suit. My daughter still uses the CP baby carrier too.
I think this memory is so important to me because it is one of the few times my mother “went to bat” for me. She was often unkind and verbally abusive (at least) but that day, she was the mother I wanted. And Pete allowed me to act like the mother I wanted.
December 7th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
My Grandfather worked for Ford Tractor in international sales, and the first year that Cabbage Patch kids were super hot, and nearly impossible to get, he had one shipped to us from England in a crate of tractor parts. When it got here, it was a boy, so they took him out of the box, dressed him in a new outfit, and took out the birth certificate. Until very recently, I thought she came without a name because she was from England. I was at least 25 before I knew the real story behind she being a he!!
December 7th, 2008 at 11:13 pm
my girls will tell you the best doll is a cabbage patch doll and at 28 their now buying their own cabbage patch…ME, I still think their ugly!
December 8th, 2008 at 10:21 am
My favorite doll memory is for sure taking my daughter on her 7th birthday to American Girl Store in Hollywood. She was so amazed that the girls (dolls) can go to the hair salon too! We made an appointment and her doll Julie got her hair done– I will never forget the look on her face! My daughter’s face that is
Thanks!

One of my favorite doll memories is of my little girl. My grandmother gave her a Bitty Baby doll w/ brown hair and brown eyes. About 18 mos ago our former dog chewed the fingers off one of Bitty Baby’s hands. I offered to see about getting her dolly’s fingers fixed and my daughter, who was then 5 yrs old, said to me, “No. I want her just the way she is.”
Another favorite memory is when my oldest son, then about 3 years old, tried breastfeeding his stuffed animal after seeing my daughter, then not quite 2, breastfeed her doll.
December 8th, 2008 at 8:13 pm
I still remember a doll I had when I was 4 years old. Her name was Janice and I took her everywhere. We took a trip to Kansas City and I left her in the hotel. I think I asked if we could go get her for about a month.
December 9th, 2008 at 8:12 am
I have twins and they would LOVE the bunk beds for their dolls!
My favorite memory is of a doll that had red hair (like me) and I named her the Janine doll.
Plus, you could pull a string on her back that would pull the long hair up to make it short, and then pull the hair out to make it long again. I loved that. I remember just wishing so hard she’d turn into a real little baby.
Thanks for taking me down memory lane…hope I win!

My favorite doll memory…
One christmas I got the “Cher doll”. She had the most gorgeous lon black hair and I use to swing chers body around so her hair would swing too.
One day I wanted to see what the “real” cher would look like with short hair so I gave my cher doll a haircut. I was so said because I realized her hair would never grow back and I couldn’t swing it anymore.
I also got the Donny and Marie Barbies. They were both in purple and me and my sister use to sing “I am a little bit country….I am little bit rock and roll”. I was the youngest and my sister always made be the boys like Donny or Ken. LOL!
My daughter loves her babies and would absolutely love this bunkbed. It’s gorgeous and matches her bedroom furniture.
Happy Holidays.

My favorite memory was when I was about 8. For Christmas my sister and I got a large box from my aunt, filled with hand made clothes for our dolls. We played with those dolls and clothes for years. That was 1967.
I have 3 girls and love sharing dolls and fun with them too. Santa is bringing my 8 yr old clothes for her American Girl doll this year.
December 10th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
This may sound silly but I had a GI Joe. I loved horses and had this wonderful collection but the Barbie doll’s legs didn’t have joints so they couldn’t sit on the horses. GI Joe was fully jointed so he could ride to the rescue!
December 10th, 2008 at 7:18 pm
I had four sons so we didn’t have a lot of dolls except for one time. My 5 year old wanted a Cabbage Patch kid back in the 80′s. My husband didn’t want his son playing with a doll. I got one anyway. It looked just like my son-wore sweats, had curly blond hair and blue eyes. My 7 year old stood the doll up and my 5 year old couldn’t get the doll to cooperate. The 5 year old then puched the doll in the stomach and my husband felt much better about his son. That son is 27 now and is great with kids. They love him
December 11th, 2008 at 12:16 pm
Mine is when I got my Cabbage Patch Doll for Christmas. I wanted one so bad but they were hard to come by. My parents had already told my sister and I that we wouldn’t be getting one because Dad wasn’t able to find one any where.
Little did we all know that my Papaw had decided that his grandbabies were getting what they wanted. He gave his nephew who was a truckdriver, some money and told him to try to find us one. While going through a small town Bill (the nephew) stopped for gas. His wife noticed a little gift shop and decided to run in and look. They actually had some CP dolls! She borrowed the phone and called Papaw. After describing the dolls they had, he told her which one to get us.
Boy, were we suprised when we opened up our presents and found our dolls. I still have mine, too.
December 11th, 2008 at 5:49 pm
My daughter has a pair of nearly identical baby dolls that she received shortly after her younger brother was born. Even now, nearly three years later, she loves to play with them, make them dance, and sing songs to them. She has always been a little shy about singing in front of other people – usually I can hear her best when she doesn’t know I’m listening. And I treasure these overheard moments, particularly one when I was driving down the road and overheard her singing “Jesus Loves Me” to her babydoll in the back seat.
I Stumbled!
December 12th, 2008 at 9:30 am
I remember when I was like 3 or 4 and Mom and Dad got my sister and I matching dolls-one blue and one pink. My sister was older than me and she cut the hair off her doll and it was ugly. She tried to get me to trade dolls with her I remember but can’t remember if I actually did it. Those were beautiful dolls, too.
December 12th, 2008 at 9:47 am
My favorite doll momment was my mom’s friend made my sister and me Mrs Besily Dolls. I will always remenber this doll. It was my favorite because she was a rag doll like raggie ann. I druge her all over the place. She was my security blanket.

Such a cute Toy. My daughter has recently fallen in love with dolls. Not quite prepared for this, we’ve been using Megabloks for “beds” for her dolls. I love her creativity and the thoughtfulness she has for her baby dolls! I tweeted about the giveaway, too!
December 12th, 2008 at 10:55 am
I just tweeted and stumbled for you
My favorite doll memory is from Christmas when I was four years old. I remember wanting the wash-a-bye baby doll Sooooo badly. My parents kept telling me that I wasn’t going to get it, but when I woke up Christmas morning she was under the tree. I still have that doll and now my girls play with it
December 12th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
I remember getting Chatty Cathy when I was a child from Santa and I actually thought the doll was named for me!
December 12th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
In 1983 my stay-at-home dad stood in line for hours with all of the moms to get me my first Cabbage Patch Kid. Her name was Elizabetta, but I changed it “legally” to Elizabeth by following the proper Cabbage Patch Kid adoption paperwork. No, I really did.
My grandmother made a front carrier for her and a ton of clothing, bedding, etc. She slept in my mom’s old doll cradle that her dad had made for her. She still lives at my parent’s house – I’m not quite ready to give her to my four year old. Maybe in another year. 
Wonder if I’ll have to file more paperwork…..

I remember one Christmas I was dying for a the baby doll that peed and pooped in its diaper–don’t know why and Santa brought it to me. I can’t remember many Christmases as a child, but that one I remember vividly. I used to wrap presents for my dolls and have a Christmas with them when my family wasn’t looking!

My mother tells the story of when I was about 2 and it was Christmas. She was so excited that Santa had brought me a doll. After I opened it, I passed it to her and said “Here mommy, you can have it.” She was crushed. I always preferred stuffed animals to dolls, but….I have daughters and our youngest girl loves dolls.

When I was 6, my mother bought me a newborn Cabbage Patch baby, the one I had begged for all year. One day she caught me throwing my doll againt the ceiling over and over, and she asked me what I was doing. She seemed really upset. She then said, “If you keep that up, I’m going to take you to court and your dolly will be taken away from you and given to a new little girl who won’t abuse her.” Well, after that day I adored that doll, and now 20 some years later my two kids play with her. Looking back, I just crack up remembering how scared I was that I was going to have to go to court! lol.

I remember as a child my niece and I used to have 2 dolls, one with pink hair and one with green hair… We played with those dolls and took them everywhere. They even had swim suits! I miss those dolls

My favorite childhood memory is the year that my parents got me a Barbie Townhouse. I was looking for something under my grandmother’s bed and found it about a week before Christmas. Then it showed up under the tree as being from Santa. My parents had some explaining to do!!!!

This is about my daughter. She will be five next month. We had the talk about being careful talking to strangers and always staying with mommy and daddy. We also had the talk about what to do if someone tries to grab you (scream like crazy). About 3 weeks later, we went to the library and she insisted on brining her doll with her. We walked out without it. We got home and about an hour later she realized she left it at the library. She started flipping out. She said “I really hope no one tries to take her. Her mouth doesn’t move so she can’t yell for help like I can.” Luckily, they found the doll and set it aside. It was sad and so cute at the same time.

My favorite doll memory was my cabbage patch doll. I carried my doll everywhere. To the store and all. I would wrap him in a blanket and carry him like a real baby. I even had people convinced I was carrying a real baby. I used any extra money I got to buy new outfits, diaper, and bottles etc. I guess I was a little over the top. Now my two daughters each have a favorite doll of their own that they play with. I’d love to win this for them.

My favorite doll memory is that one Christmas when I was about 5 years old, I came down the stairs and immediately saw under the Christmas tree the most beautiful large bride doll in a beautiful fancy white dress and veil. She had strawberry blonde hair (like mine) and beautiful eyes that opened and shut. She was my very special pride and joy, and that was one of my favorite childhood memories.

My favorite was when I got my Cabbage Patch doll. They were really popular and hard to get so I never thought I would get one. I woke up on Christmas morning and opened all my presents, no doll. Then my mom says “Oh Wait there’s a little box here.” Inside was a little note, to go look in the mailbox. Then inside the mailbox where there was another little note and so on until I found my present, my Cabbage Patch. I loved that doll and was so surprised and excited to get it!

This is adorable! My favorite doll memory would have to be the Christmas I recieved a Barbie picnic set, with a little grill, hamburgers and hotdogs, picnic table, the works. I spent the whole day with my dolls outside. They picnicked in a foot of snow, poor dears.

my parents had bought my sister and I these beautiful dolls in italy when I was 5. they were about 11 inches tall and had pretty glass eyes and hair you could brush. This was my favorite doll for a long time and I don’t know if I have ever seen such nice dolls since.

The crazy year that Cabbage Patch dolls came out, I was 11. I didn’t even dream I’d get one, but Regina Beatrice was under the tree! My mom had thought they were cute and ordered one months before the craze started.

My daughter has an AG doll. For Christmas 2 years ago, she got matching outfits for her and her doll and I braided her hair and her dolls hair into matching styles! Sweet memory!

I remember the year that I so desperately wanted a Cabbage Patch Kid. They were sold out everywhere and my parents were on a waiting list for a long time. I had pretty much given up hope that I would get one for Christmas but on Christmas day I got one! Santa delivered!

My favorite doll memory is Raggedy Ann and Andy, learning how to undo all of their clasps, zippers and buttons was a lot of fun.

My favorite doll memory was building a real dollhouse with my dad in the basement when I was a kid. I recently lost my dad and boy what I wouldn’t give to have that back. I’m not really sure what happened to it, I’ll have to ask my mom!!! But I don’t remember too much about the detail of the house, I just treasure the time alone with my dad because I had 3 other sisters, and he was always working so hard. I miss him so much my heart hurts everyday!!!

My favorite doll memory is linked to a certain doll I had. She was a “My Child” doll, and I received her for Christmas when I was six years old. I named her Rose. These dolls were similar to Cabbage Patch kids in that they came in different hair & eye color combinations. She was the only doll I had ever seen that looked like me, with almost the exact same shade of light brown hair, and green eyes. I took Rose everywhere with me, and she always slept with me at night. The dolls even came with a little locket that had their picture in it, which I wore all the time

My daughter got a baby born and was thrilled!

My favorite memory having to do with my doll involves me being the teacher and all my dolls being the students. They were terrible students, by the way.

My favorite doll memories included my best friends dolls and learning to sew by making their wardrobe. These sewing times helped me to be ready to sew for my very own live baby doll who is now 7 (only girl out of my 5 children) and her own babies who need a bunk bed to sleep in.

My favorite doll memory was of my Drowsy doll. She had a sewn in pink polka-dotted pajama set on and blonde hair. At some point, I decided she needed a hair cut so I gave her a trim with my kid scissors when I was about four! She had a string that made her talk if you pulled it. I still have her in safely my bedroom closet, and I’m 41! Her string doesn’t work anymore and her hair is a little more matted from the years, but she’s still my very favorite. The special memory I have of Drowsy was when my own daughter was 18 months old in 1999. We were strolling through a store and she was giggling and laughing. I looked up and there I saw a brand new Drowsy doll with beautiful blonde hair, all clean and shiny in her package. I almost cried! I had no idea they still made her. I told my daughter all about Drowsy (not that she understood much at the time), and then picked up the box. I knew I had to get this doll for her, too. Drowsy doesn’t come with the string anymore, probably for safety reasons, but she still talks in the same sweet voice I remembered! Hearing again after all these years brought back so many memories. The tradition lives on!

I remember waking one Christmas morning to a pink doll bunkbed with a note attached. The note said ” This bed is made only for dolls, not for little girls. Enjoy! Love, Santa”. The bed had been made by my dad and my mom had made little quilts & pillows for it. It was enjoyed for years.

My favorite book growing up was Little Women, I read it yearly. One year, my mom had me pick out pictures of my favorite dresses from the story, without telling me what she wanted this information for. Months later, for Christmas I was given 4 Little Women dolls. My mom had found a porcelain doll kits. She assembled and sewed the dolls herself and a very talented friend of hers was able to duplicate my favorite dresses from the book. It was the best present ever!! Now my daughter is 10 and reading Little Women. I can’t wait to pass these down to her.
