Dolls! Dolls! Dolls!

Lori is having a blogland doll party today and if there is anything I love it is dolls! I have always loved dolls.
This is a picture of my very first doll, and Effanbee Baby Huggums on the right. I got her around age two and I loved her so much I tried to eat her! See her sad little hands? That is because I kept putting them in my mouth. Poor baby, but I just can't get rid of her! A few years ago my mom gave me the new, replacement Baby Huggums for my birthday. I love her too, but I don't try to eat her!
My mom gave me one of my very favorite dolls, her Madame Alexander Alice in Wonderland doll from when she was a girl.
She remade her clothes for me, the originals were loved to death.
My mom has always fostered my love of good dolls. She obviously knew I wasn't going to outgrow my love of dolls early on. She made this porcelain doll in her christening dress when I was twelve.
She even made her underclothes and had a dear friend crochet little booties so her feet wouldn't clink togetherI have a couple of fun reproduction dolls, these are my Shirley Temple as Heidi and my Kewpie doll. Think Mom gave me those too!
My mom isn't the only one to feed this habit. My hubby figured out early on this was a great Christmas present for me too. These are some of the dolls he has given me.
Of course there are the dolls I have made myself. All of these except the Christmas one are in my shop. I sure have had fun making these. It has been great to have an excuse to play with dolls all the time. Not that Brittany and I really need one! My newest one, the little nesting dolls with painted faces I just finished today. They are in the shop too. I am working on them in my favorite toile too
And the obsession continues! This is doll corner in my daughter's room. They look so cute because we were just playing with them together last week!

Thanks for visiting with me and my dolls! I am going over to Lori's to visit some more!
