I may seem like the grandmotherly
type. "Aunt Lou" may conjure
pictures of a cookie baking,
children's book reading
doll collector
who thinks of her dolls as children
and tries to see that they
have a good home
when they have to move along.
Well, this is true, somewhat.
I seldom bake cookies, now,
as I eat too many of them.
I still love children's books
and love to read to my
nieces and nephews of the
next generation.
-The first generation is
all grown up.-
I do hang on to too many dolls.
BUT
There is a dark side to my
doll gathering.
I buy porcelain dolls just
to rob them of their
clothes...
...also their wigs.
THEN
I take them to a local
flea market where they
are sold for 25 cents
to help out...
...I forget what.
That is, the lucky
ones go there.

I decided it would possibly get too much attention from an element I don't wish to attract, so BEWARE! was selected to warn away poor little dolls whose clothes are nice because they may end up in the flea market -- or worse! |
