If you've ever wondered whether or not you have too many dolls there's a simple way to find out. All you have to do is decide to move and then pack everything yourself. Actually, that's not entirely true. My son has been helping me pack up the doll room. However, we've spent hours and are still not done.
These pictures were taken last week and we've actually gotten quite a bit more done, but we're still far from finished!!!
I'm moving back to Friendswood, Texas where I lived for 23 years before moving to the Clear Lake area of Houston a little over 9 years ago. It's only about 6 or 7 miles from here, but I missed all of what Friendswood had to offer and decided before the pandemic that I wanted to move back. Then the pandemic came along and I didn't want to be moving then so I waited. It took a while to find a house. Now I'm having some work done on the new house and then hope to quickly get moved in.
Until I started packing I actually didn't realize how many dolls (and doll stuff) that I have. Oh dear...I have way more that I ever realized. The fun part of packing is that I also have discovered things that I've completely forgotten about. I've made a vow to count all my dolls as I unpack. Right now I can't even take a guess as to how many dolls I have.
I'll definitely be hit and miss around blog land for a while. There's just so much going on.
I never had a chance to put up the last Ginny doll from the group that I won on eBay a while back. She's been finished for a while. This doll needed a new wig. Her hair had been cut, but I happened to have a wig with braids. I'm not 100% sure it's a genuine Ginny wig, but I think so.
And here she is now.
She's a 1954 painted last walker. I had this dress from my childhood and decided she was the perfect doll for this outfit. I still have the felt hat, but moths must have been hungry.
Here she is with all the other dolls from the group that I won. They've all been cleaned up and restored.
I like to think that they all lived happily ever after.
I'll be back (in hopefully the not too distant future). Betty
