Please meet “Snow White” (note the hair)..she is my Tuesday Treasure….she is 47 years old…..I received this gorgeous doll for Christmas when I was 5 years old….she was, what was called, a walking doll..she is 30 inches tall so to a little 5 year old she would have been a very big doll…..this is her original outfit which my Mum had made for her…..
I hope you enjoyed meeting my Snow White……
take care Peg……:>)
Snow White is just gorgeous. You Mum was one very clever lady to make such a beautiful dress for her.
ReplyDeletePeg she's so gawjus, and look at that beautiful smocking, my goodness your Mum was clever!! I've still got my walking doll somewhere, however, mine's naked LOL
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Joy :o)
I love your Snow White and I bet she walked with you lots and lots. Your Mum made a beautiful outfit for her too :) Hugs Vicki
ReplyDeleteWhat a treasure. And such a cute smocked dress. I don't have any of my dolls and feel sad about that sometimes.
ReplyDeleteOh wow Peg, she is GORGEOUS!!!! Look at her eyes and little lips and her blushing cheeks, so wonderful!! Do her eyes close when you lay her down? I have some dolls too, I will have to share them! I got my wonderful package yesterday!!!! OMGOODNESS!!! I just LOVE my folder cover and bookmark! Thankyou so so much!! I didn't expect a folder too! Thankyou!
ReplyDeleteOh Peg, she's priceless. What lovely smocking and on her sleeves too.
ReplyDeleteSnow White is so lovely in her beautifully smocked frock. She does look a little startled by the camera flash tho'.
ReplyDeleteShe's beautiful! I love the smocking on her dress, too. I bet you had lots of good times with her. :)
ReplyDeleteSnow white looks stunning. Your Mum did a fantastic job on the sewing. You have been blessed owning this doll.
ReplyDeleteHappy days.

What a beautiful doll Peg. I can see where you get your talent for stitching from.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness she sure doesn't look her age - she's a stunner, Peg! What a treasure.
ReplyDeleteOh Peg - she is so pretty and I love her dress........... I wish I had her secret skin cream!!! Hugz
ReplyDeleteOh Peg, Snow White looks so good for her age :-)
ReplyDeleteI bet you did think she was the most beautiful doll you'd ever seen.
Lucky you! It's beautiful after all these years.
ReplyDeletePeg, Snow White is gorgeous and I love her sweet face. Her dress is just beautiful too. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeletePeg , Snow White is just beautiful ! Thanks so much for playing .

ReplyDeleteAs much as I love the doll, it is her outfit which really appeals to me...all of that smocking...definitely a treasure :) Happy crafting, Jenny
ReplyDeleteHey Peg! Your dolly definitely doesn't look her age ... so well preserved, she must use Oil of Olay! Tee! Hee! Hee! The outfit your mother made for her is lovely - such neat little stitches in the smocking. Though ... I think I've been to the same hairdresser as dolly a couple of times! Tee! Hee! Hee! Thanks for sharing your treasure!! Bear Hugs!
ReplyDeleteCHEERS!

what a sweet doll, and the dress is wonderful. Did your Mom do the smocking too? The bonnet is so darling - I love the lace. I had a doll similar to that and a very tiny kid sister. As my little sister grew out of her clothes, they fit my doll perfectly. I wish I had the doll and/or the dresses. Mom made them and they were, as I remember, dreamy organdy dresses with pinafores.
ReplyDeleteMy youngest sister also had one of those walking dolls , recognized her straight away , thanks for the memories.
ReplyDeleteYour Snow White has the sweetest eyes!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the dress your mom made is beautiful, I love that smocking!

Oh dear - I still have my walking doll around somewhere - although she's long since lost all her original clothing, I think. She must be about the same age as yours.
ReplyDeleteHmmm.....
Now I have to go looking...
Definitely a treasure! I love dolls and she is so pretty!

Wow, I bet kids dolls these days wont last 47 years!! They are lucky to last two years. You must have a shed full of treasures for Tuesdays! How long will they last??
