I had three daughters and my sister Bobbie had three sons. Since she didn’t have any little girls I decided to give her a pretty little F&B doll.

Over the years we were each very busy and I had forgotten all about that doll until after I was 83 years old and moved from Florida to Salem ohio and she was 89 years old and brought that doll to a Rockhold family reunion and presented it to me for my doll collection. What a lovely thing for her to do.

It had straight long red air that looked quite skimpy and it needed to be restrung. You know! The rubber band inside the doll had gotten weak with age and its head, arms and legs were all floppy.

In the yellow pages I found an add for doll repair and took it to this ladies home. As she held it up to look at it she remarked “It’s hair is all cut off. I could have washed and set it.” Then she followed with “Some times we do this when we are little”.

I said “I cut it off yesterday!” You should have heard her laugh!!!!!!! Then she restrung this pretty little Old F&B doll.

This is how she looked in the new wig I purchased, glued on then cut the ends off and set it in these old fashioned long curls.

Then I designed a little new old fashion dress, cut a pattern to fit her and here Is my finished old fashioned F&B doll as part of my collection.

HOW YOU LIKE??????  More of my doll collection at another time. STAY TUNED!!!
