Welcome to “Show and Tell Friday!” Do you have something special to share with us? It could be a trinket from grade school, a piece of jewelry, or a treasured collection. Look around your home for something to share; dig through those boxes in your closet if you have to! Share photos and the story that goes with your special item.
Today, I am sharing a very special doll. She was a gift to my mom, from my dad when I was born. Somehow, years later I ended up with her. Growing up, I thought she was so pretty with her extra special touches...
Pearl earrings.
Fancy hairstyle.
Pink fingernails.
And a sweet face! Thank you for looking at my show and tell and have a wonderful weekend!
Remember, that your Show and Tell needs to be something from your home or garden. Please read the Show and Tell Guidelines for step-by-step instructions on how to participate.

I have never seen such a doll, it's really too cute !
ReplyDeleteIf you prefer to have the original version of Mr. Linky which is more visible, I had asked them for my group Cats on Tuesday and they told me to just add a "2" to www. It should look like "http://www2.blenza" then it works. at least it did with my Cats on tuesday. Just give a try. the links are more visible with the original version.
Your doll is beautiful. It is nice to have something that your dad gave your mother.
ReplyDeleteI have a doll on my post too.

ReplyDeleteHi Kelli,
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful keepsake of when you were born. The doll is beautiful. It's so nice that you have her now. Thank you for sharing her.
I remember those dolls-from the 1970s I bet! Yours is in good shape and very sweet.
ReplyDeleteI had a couple of these dolls when I was a little girl and I just LOVED them. I saw one at the thrift store the other day and have been kicking myself for not buying it. It brought back such lovely memories. I always enjoy your blog!
ReplyDeleteOh, my sister and I used to have dolls like that. My mother didn't save anything, she was the total opposite of a pack rat so we don't have them anymore. Ours were pink. I was in love with mine too. Fun memories. =)

Oh, the doll is lovely as the story! What a wonderful gift to give your Mom! At your Birth! Just Love it Kelli!
ReplyDeleteShe's so pretty! I had some Mexican dolls that had similar faces, that my aunt brought me when she visited Mexico. I thought they had such pretty features for a doll. My mom also had one of those dolls that had the huge skirt that sat on the bed and it had a pretty face too. Thanks for sharing such a pretty doll!
ReplyDeleteBe Blessed!
