She's such a lovely example, in her satiny finery and well-kept coiffure.<br /><br />You've this minute inspired a blog post---a memory of a much larger, more modern half-doll who lived on the bed in my Mammaw's spare bedroom. She wore a beautiful crocheted dress, in variegated purples and violets and white, and had a small velvet hat with a sweeping garden-party brim.<br /><br />Her skirt just spread upon the pillow and bed, and she was made to be lady's stash-your-gown convenience. The minute I arrived for a visit, I whisked my pajamas out of my little travel case and folded them neatly beneath the swirl of her skirts. That was such a civilized, ladylike thing to do, I thought, and you've kindled a wonderful memory.<br /><br />rachel<br /><br />RachelDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204947567574886675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6632038172107497222.post-4744219400967797492014-04-18T19:48:05.668-04:002014-04-18T19:48:05.668-04:00She is lovely.
