I found this much-played-with doll of my youth stuffed into a suitcase at my niece’s house. She had found it in my sister’s attic. I thought it had been lost forty years ago when a tornado hit my parent’s house. Unbeknownst to me, my sister had removed our old toys before the tornado hit. She’s a bit the worst for wear after being played with by two more generations of little girls after me, but her hair, in time’s dreadlocks, looks more up to date than her former perfect curls.

The memories must have poured back as you found this treasure. What a surprise, when you thought she was lost in a tornado!

And the dollhouse and some other dolls as well. My grandmother’s and mothers spoons, all mismatched patterns, that I brought home to serve cat food and dog food with..My old books. Like a little treasure trove.

Oh, what fun! I’m in process of downsizing in preparation for a potential move — am finding small treasures here and there, but no large group like that. Each one is a treasure, though

Not really anything I can show — I’m mostly going through old paperwork, and finding things like a receipt for 85 cents for pork chops.

I see these photos and can’t help but imagine a woman playing with her very old doll, collecting cats, muttering to the universe ….

Ha!! How many cats do you see in her future? And is she at a friend’s house rifling though hoarded treasures in his garage to find her hoarded suitcase?

Right now she is under the bed at Forgottenman’s as I couldn’t bring her home with me. I already had two full suitcases!

The big doll is in a suitcase under Forgottenman’s guest room bed. I keep meaning to bring it back here but always have too much luggage and I can’t get him to fly it down for me. The Bonnie Braids doll is at Karen Bossart’s house.
