Goodbye, Miko

This is Miko.

I often check out the dolls
in a department store.

Miko really got my attention.
I waited until she went on sale.
I bought her.

We were building a house.
There wasn't much money
lying around.
I had a small allowance
or a part time job,
I don't remember which.

Miko meant something to me.

BUT
Miko has been standing
in a box of dolls
gathering dust.

Sooo...

I sold her on eBay
and sent her off on Monday.

Goodbye, Miko.
I hope somebody enjoys you.

Now I have made a proper
goodbye and I won't be
sad for long. :)

For being such a good girl,
I printed out this paper doll
in color.

Do you like paper dolls?

They will never take the
place of dolls, for me,
but I do like them. :)
