And they'd get together and make dolls and their accoutrements on their front porch and sip sweet tea.<br />Going to look on Facebook to see if I can find Littlest Angel.

And congratulations, too, on the Audiofile and Earphones awards. With the delicious creepy factor of the dolls, it will continue to be in my favorite reads. The cover is wonderful, and I would actually delight in a blinking eye, and a clicking sound, perfection. I'm so glad that your neighbor told you about her mother's doll making and dealing with the house full of dolls and doll parts. And, isn't her mother's name just the quintessential Southern name, Blanche. <br /><br />I do wish that I could share the picture of myself as a kid with my Littlest Angel and the wonky eye. I've used it as a profile pic on FB before, and I get lots of comments about the creepy doll, because of her wonky eye. She's actually a sweet, adorable little doll.

The toy store where I got my Ginny doll and others had "parts" to buy to do your own repairs. I think Mom bought a wig to replace the original on my poor doll. I don't remember if someone at the store glued it on or if she did the job herself.Pat Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12732230586783432052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1001156153899984046.post-11845823440565252392018-03-23T11:49:31.246-04:002018-03-23T11:49:31.246-04:00Congratulations of the paperback release, Hallie, ...Congratulations of the paperback release, Hallie, and on all the awards!
