The cake topper is cute.Thank you for sharing your dolls and memories. It is so nice to read what you have to tell us.
But the one doll of all that I know too here in Germany is...Barbie !!!

Hi Jessi! I LOVE Barbie too! I love the fact that you have your first doll still!! I wish I still had mine. My first doll was called Lolly Doll, lol! She was all pink. Hmm, maybe that means something for me too. Thank you for sharing your beautiful dolls with us! This is so fun :)

Jessi, love all your dolls. The cake toppper is SO COOL!!! Love all your family heirlooms. I was a Barbie collector for a while, but I ran out of room. Still have a bunch in my closet, along with some of the first Fashion Avenue outfits that came out. Love your great paperdolls too. Thanks for sharing your great collection!!!
Jessi- this post is SO you. I knew I'd see something great and crazy and you didn't disappoint. I never had Barbie but my friend did. When you showed the Barbie case, I could smell the plastic immediately. Thanks for the dolly memory!!

Hi honey! It's Erin and Tiffany, up in MN!
I love your blog - I had the Dressy Bessy, too. I carried it everywhere, but it didn't help me much with my fashion sense. Or lack thereof.
Tiff, of course, has NO IDEA what a Dressy Bessy is.
Hi Jessi,
A doll showing her dolls, how cute!
Dressy Bessy is adorable; I love your Barbie Wizzard of Oz collection. And the doll figurine passed down to you from your grandma and mom is a treasure. The paper doll display in your craftroom is really neat!
Huggies,
Rosa
"Oh I love your collection you have shared." Very stunning to look at. They are so beautiful!!
I hope you stop by and see my collection for my daughter;-))
Hugs,
Jeannene

hehehe you kind of remind me of Barbie! :)
Anyway, I love your very first doll. It's cute! And, the family heirloom topper is amazing. Kewpie cute.
Jessi, Your collection is fantastic. I love the heirloom pieces, they are so special. And, of course Barbie, I do have one Barbie down in "the box", but it was given to me to use as a dress form when I was crocheting dresses. I look forward to see more of your Barbies
Karen
I had Barbies growing up and cloth dolls but I dont think any of them were saved, except for a Russian doll and Princess Diana doll. That's wonderful you still have your first doll! I love the paperdolls..I think I enjoyed playing with tose even more than my Barbies growing up:) Thanks for sharing!!

This was just wonderful ...
I so enjoyed my visit here to see your treasures!
What a grand idea for displaying your paperdolls ... I might use that idea in my studio! Really. Very cute idea!
The google-eye cake topper is one of the nicest little toppers I have ever seen. Maybe it's the story behind it that makes my heart sing ... It is wonderful.

Jessi, Oh my how I love that cake topper!!!!! Yes I love my Barbies too! Great paper doll collection! When I was age 2-6 I was in a series of body casts for a hip disease, I remember my three greatest loves, cut-out, crayons and Barbies!! They saved my life in those sad times!!! Love,Lori
I love your paper doll collection! and what a cute way to display them so that you can always look at them!!! Fun!
Wow! These are fabulous! I love all of them, but your paper dolls and Lolly Dolly are my most favorites. :)

Jessy, you made me tear up looking at the Dressy Bessy doll. My grandfather passed away when I was 6 but a year before that he had taught me how to tie my shoes using my Dressy Bessy doll. Thanks for the memory.
