Made in Haiti

Last night my friend Dana came over for wine, conversation and working on "Wreak this Journal". She also brought over some of her soft sculpture art work to show. Wonderful stuff this talented lady makes! Well, it got me thinking about a doll I had bought years ago. Couldn't tell you where I got it from. Some place local, I'm sure. It's one of those "topsy-turvy" dolls and I'm sure I got it around Valentine's Day. I pulled it out to show to Dana and it's little tag fell off in my hand. The tag said "Made in Haiti". WOW! Pray for those affected by the earthquake and do what you can to help.

Stuffed doll.

I've had this doll since I was a baby. I don't know where it came from. Maybe I can ask my mom and fill in the details later. I always thought it was an "Eskimo" doll. Isn't it wierd how we save certain things and not others?

Ginny or Apple Blossom Doll?

OK. I thought I would add a couple of posts based on a few old toys that I still have.

On the off chance that someone might read this post, I thought I would ask if anyone knows what kind of doll this is?

I called her "Susie" and I believe I had one before her that was similar. For some reason, I had in my head "Apple Blossom dolls"; but I haven't been able to find anything on them online, so I'm probably wrong there. She would be from the early to mid 1970s and she was my favorite doll in the whole wide world! She has vinyl legs, arms, and rooted hair and a hard plastic body. She is about 5" tall.
