Sally


I just realized I never showed you my favorite doll when I was growing up. I named her Sally. My mom gave me a ninth birthday party and this doll. She said she liked it because it wasn't like all the others she saw. (My mom never had a doll growing up) .She asked our neighbor, who sews, to make the doll some clothes. I loved this doll. She was a real baby to me. I made diapers for her and fed her softened cookies. I saved Sally and all of her clothes. I gave her to my daughter Shari because she loved her, too. This dress is not one of her originals, but the shoes are. She has the best hair, which I had to comb out very well when I put her away when I was about 12 or 13. I would like to take her someplace where they could fix her coloring and tell me what to do about the surface of her body which gets a little sticky, slimy. We've washed her but it still comes back. Maybe it's just her age. But, look carefully and you won't find any gray hair or wrinkles on her.
