I'll probably take it and judge by her reaction if I should leave it.<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-6869457828348153132011-11-29T19:08:04.729-06:002011-11-29T19:08:04.729-06:00LOL, just two or three more - isn't that how A...LOL, just two or three more - isn't that how ALL of us end up with our collections?

Taking this approach will allow me to clear out unwanted larger dolls and babies that she will find acceptable to use as décor. It would be too difficult for me to buy a doll for her unless it was one that she specifically requested. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-25451117452552537322011-11-28T13:03:54.340-06:002011-11-28T13:03:54.340-06:00Lol, this is a cute post indeed!

I usually do give...Two... no more than two Vickey. I usually do give in to my mother's wishes, but often not immediately especially when it comes to something as personal as my dolls. <br /><br />Non-collectors fail to realize that asking someone for one of their dolls is like asking a mother for one of her children. <br /><br />To gift my mother with dolls would probably not be the right thing to do, unless it was with a doll that she specifically requested. In reality, she never really has liked dolls or considered them much more than playthings for children. Maybe as an octogenarian, her feelings about them has changed. <br /><br />It's wonderful that you have such a grand relationship with your mother. I have tried to establish that type of relationship with my daughter and I believe I have. <br /><br />Sabriam and Margaret, of course I'm going to be the dutiful daughter and redress two babies in Christmas attire and take them to her house probably as soon as next weekend. I am also going to take that trip that I suggested she take to Dollar General or another dollar store to find chairs for the dolls to sit on, but she won't know this until I am standing at her doorstep with the dolls and chairs in tow.<br /><br />Vanessa -- I am glad or maybe saddened that you understand. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-72604820468159759612011-11-27T10:53:29.305-06:002011-11-27T10:53:29.305-06:00Now the solution to this is one I've been usin...Now the solution to this is one I've been using for a while. My mother lives with us and used to 'borrow' my dolls without warning. They would be sitting on standing in place when I went out and have vanished when I arrived home. <br />She's almost 90 and I hadn't the heart to take them back, so I introduced her to Ebay and she now buys a doll every few weeks and enjoys dressing it to her own strange taste.<br />There's nothing Mum likes better than finding a forlorn little doll and giving it a new life.jenannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00321001863688006661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-79686627062780583322011-11-27T10:24:00.019-06:002011-11-27T10:24:00.019-06:00Wow, this is such a sweet post.
