ReplyDeleteOur daughter is almost 18 yrs old now, yet she held a homemade dolly so dear, that it's now in her cedar hopechest. Someday she'll pass it down to her children. She also has a teddy bear I made and in the garage loft she has a cradle Daddy made for her one Christmas.

ReplyDeleteI hope to pass along hope chests to our two daughters and thank you for the reminder to save the handmade dolls.
Suzanne,
Thanks for the kind words.
