My mom was the teacher and got permission for me to bring her home during the week. My attachment was so great that Mom purchased her from church so "Victoria" could live with us forever. She was my favorite dollie! She was stored away when a girl moves to teenager but I moved cross country as a young adult and she came with. Unfortunately, she developed rubber rot & I threw her out years later. Hopefully, I'll be able to find another one to show my grandkids Nana's favorite dollie. Thanks for sharing her story!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03044793516805230747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-70541126766026478252020-06-11T23:13:18.704-05:002020-06-11T23:13:18.704-05:00You’re welcome!

I was raised in W.Va at the time where blacks & whites were still separated, however, my mother bought me an Amosandra baby. She was my first baby, I loved her very much and took her everywhere with me I don't know whatever happened to her but I do think back to her often, I couldn't remember who she belonged to on the show and didn't realize she had other siblings. Thanks for the info I wish they would bring some of those old shows back.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10358734000614464495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-35232992820008851172019-01-12T08:09:30.377-06:002019-01-12T08:09:30.377-06:00It was sweet of your friend to entrust you with Am...It was sweet of your friend to entrust you with Amosandra.

I am taking notes of my friends kids and grandkids, because I do believe someday she will belong in the right hands ..https://www.facebook.com/messages/t/selena.d.smithAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17773454936292351854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-29376739546216313502018-12-12T05:26:14.343-06:002018-12-12T05:26:14.343-06:00Thank you for sharing your Amosandra story.

It was love at first sight, and when my close-in-age younger brother and I moved to Europe in 1954 (when I was 9), she was the only doll I took with me. My brother loved her too and she traveled everywhere with us--we were her "parents" and made up elaborate stories about our life with her. I learned how to knit to make clothes for her. I ultimately gave her to my now 46 year-old also blonde,blue-eyed niece (that brother's daughter) when she was a little girl! I still have photos of the doll from 1954, but it doesn't look as if I can upload them here!Musicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13179745529081023234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-69914483215668356722017-01-14T03:29:20.255-06:002017-01-14T03:29:20.255-06:00How sweet.

I kept her name. I didn't know any Black people then. The doll was so very cute. Good to read her history here. Thank you.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15235414358995982474noreply@blogger.com
