Message:: [QUOTE="judy, post: 4330482, member: 965"][USER=13874]@lizjewel[/USER].......... Replacement parts for dolls happens all the time. Long ago, right now and will continue to be the case into the future. My own doll was taken to the "doll hospital" for something or other.........can't remember the problem, but my mother knew I loved the doll (can't remember which doll), and sought to have her fixed. I still have at least 3 of my original dolls, and time has changed them somewhat, but they are still in good condition. When I see the condition of some dolls, I wonder who owned them.............why the poor condition. Worn from too much loving? Perhaps. Or, the owner passing into another phase of life and the doll is then "tossed" aside? I guess I can owe the fact that I still have my childhood dolls to my mother. She loved dolls, and had only one in her lifetime. She placed that one doll somewhere where her mother advised against.....near a door that opened inward......sure enough Mormor was correct.........the door hit the bisque head and broke her. How I would've loved to have seen that doll......I wonder who made her......probably German....French would've been prohibitive in cost.

You know a lot about the dress of many Countries.......even my little doll's hat in my Avatar............[/QUOTE]
