I am happy I was the chosen one. It's a touching story. <br /><br />When I shared photos of Joe and Louise on Facebook, two other collectors shared (and one with picture-proof) that they own Joe. They now both want a Louise for their Joes. :-) <br /><br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-83758036134591360582017-10-23T22:53:52.216-05:002017-10-23T22:53:52.216-05:00They are gorgeous!

As Fran noted, a puzzling statement that Joe & Louise were an inappropriate pair to be owned by a white family, especially with their history, but perhaps in these times it’s a difficult topic, and perhaps a daughter is looking with 2017 eyes on the two dolls. I just think it’s so generous of AF to work hard to find her beloved dolls a new home. Really touching actually. No, I did not maybe tear up thinking about her choice. I’m so glad you have them Debbie and you have restored both their dignity and given them pride of place in your collection. ❤️Julius Maloneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08006134062866647709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-19986246190216586112017-10-23T12:28:04.509-05:002017-10-23T12:28:04.509-05:00Niceness to the extreme was AF's gesture.

Rather than keep them boxed up, I respect AF's decision to find a new home for them. I have another photo that I will add to this post soon, which illustrates where they are proudly displayed. <br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-2265113678774287542017-10-23T08:25:41.176-05:002017-10-23T08:25:41.176-05:00Congratulations !

I am a bit puzzled and saddened by the daughter saying Mom should give them away though, since they were loved.
