As a child, I loved dolls, and I had a lot of dolls.
I probably had more dolls than any other kind of toy, and I liked playing with dolls more than any other activity.
My sister and I had dolls of all shapes and sizes, including paper dolls: with tabs, magnets, and even dolls we cut from catalogs.
Some of our favorite dolls were Liddle Kiddles. I even had Liddle Kiddles coloring book.
I also had a list of dolls I never owned but yearned to own. That includes most Kiddles (the line had so many, it was nearly impossible to own them all), Crissy and Velvet dolls, Rosemary from the Rock Flowers, and most of the Dawn and Barbie dolls.
My favorite Liddle Kiddles were the Kiddle Kologne dolls. And the one I most longed to own was Rosebud.
And she recently arrived in the mail for me.
You see, one day I was showing Rebekah some of the vintage dolls I once longed to own, including Rosebud. So without telling me, Rebekah found one on Etsy and ordered it for me.
It was a lovely, sweet surprise.
Rosebud even still has a faint rose scent clinging to her.
My two granddaughters fell in love with her and wanted to play with her. If I had more (including the colonial dollhouse I once has a child, along with some period furniture), that would have been a grat option.
And thanks to the internet, not out of the realm of possibility.
Rosebud is currently sitting beneath a small Christmas tree Joshua and Timothy bought me, which Timothy set up on one of my dressers (one that used to belong to Ron's mother) late at night on the Feast of St. Nicholas.
