I had a smaller version while a kid in the late 1970s, except she had a pink dress (of course, this one has an ORANGE one - orange seems to be confronting me at every thrifting turn these days). Hopefully my little gal didn't end up in a landfill. If my memory serves, I'm pretty sure Mom donated our plaything castoffs to school sales and whatnot.
I didn't buy her. Sometimes the thrift shop can be the place of sweet memories. Oh how I loved my little doll like this, in the hot pink dress and hat (I can still remember the pattern!).
Hello my wonderful "Grunge Queen" -- the doll certainly brings back memories. Mine was a porcelain Victorian (2' feet long) wearing an extravagant satin ruby dress. It was given to me at the age of 9 when I immigrated to Canada as a welcome gift from a relative. I really don't know what happened to her ??? It would have been a true treasure if I still had her.
