Dolls galore


I went to visit a neighbor of mine Virgean who has quite a doll collection-over 300 of them. Interestingly enough she was the mother of all boys. She loved her dolls as a little girl and decided in her retirement years to collect crocheted dress dolls. Buying them at thrift shops and having some given to her over the years, she has filled several rooms of her home with them. Each has a name and a photo plus a description carefully preserved in her doll scrapbook-how she got the doll and why she or he was named. You can bet her grandkids love to visit her-the boys as well as the girls. Take a look.
