When I was little my parents used to collect Madame Alexander dolls for my sister and me. We would get one every Christmas. They were absolutely beautiful and we displayed them in a glass armoire in the dining room. We had lovely dolls that represented different countries- Brazil, Sweden, India, Russia and so many more. There were also dolls from Little Women- Jo, Amy, Marmee, etc. My favorites were my two Cinderella dolls. "Poor Cinderella" had a brown dress with patches, her hair was held back with a scarf and she had a little broom that was attached with a string around her wrist. The other Cinderella was dressed for the ball in a beautiful pink dress with sparkles! For some reason, I loved the "Poor Cinderella" just a bit more. Despite her plain dress, her loveliness shone through.
While visiting a few garage sales, Katie and I came across this "Alice in Wonderland" doll made by Madame Alexander. Katie immediately fell in love with her! Well, of course, she had to come home with us! I told Katie all about my other dolls and now we are on a mission to get them out and display them. We just have to find the right place...

How in the WORLD do you find such awesome things at garage sales? I am sssoo jealous!!! Take tons of pictures of the display when you find just the right place! I can't wait to see!!MJ and I loved reading your story about your dolls when you were a little girl.
Oh my gosh! What a wonderful find! That is something your daughter will keep and hand down to her girls and make more memories! Good Job!
What a sweet looking doll! It is wonderful that you can share your memories and your dolls with the girls, and now Katie has her own too! I never find such good stuff at garage sales.
