It's unexplainable.MYMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17679094659957098225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27283804.post-36710815735727475292008-10-23T06:08:00.000+01:002008-10-23T06:08:00.000+01:00I'm loving this! :)I really enjoy all these storie...I'm loving this! :)<BR/><BR/>I really enjoy all these stories.

I regret getting rid of a lot of things I used to have as a child. <BR/><BR/>I was never into dolls for some reason - Barbies and Kiddles (I think that's what they were called but heck, it was back in the sixties) I played with a lot but not other dolls. I did have an old rabbit I called 'rabbit-san' (not a very imaginative kid) and kept it until I was 35 when I moved to the mainland and ended up throwing it away. It was old, worn with flattened ears and I couldn't justify shipping it with all the other things I had, including the Barbies. Too bad, since I could have made a fortune on eBay selling Barbies and accessories. Mine were in excellent shape and vintage Barbie items bring in some good money, apparently. Ah well, hindsight.Music Wenchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06004584461266777776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27283804.post-969888398987232482008-10-22T22:52:00.000+01:002008-10-22T22:52:00.000+01:00My mom was like yours, if you didn't have your han...My mom was like yours, if you didn't have your hands actually on the toy, it would be given away.

I agree with Snarkangel, I don't know that I could have resisted the urge to buy back those dolls. But now - like you - I would only be wondering where to put them.<BR/><BR/>I love the castle pictures.

I, personally, probably would have taken it as a "sign" that they were trying to make their way back to me, and therefore probably would have bought them, whether the memory of them was enough or not. But then, I tend to be somewhat foolish and sentimental about such things. If only there was a "Vincent" or "Bobby Goren" doll.
