I don’t really have many things from my childhood but I’ve collected some pretty dolls in the past 15 years.
The shelves above the doll crib have some of my favorites.
The little armless doll in the pink crochet dress in the bottom left of the photo below and the cloth doll sitting down are mine. (and I did the bunny cross stitch years ago)
And in this photo the old bear in the baby carriage is my old bear.
I’ve spent a lot of time wandering down memory lane this week.
This is a special Wednesday Wee Ones. I’m dedicating it to my dear Aunt Margaret who shared my love of dolls and passed away a few days ago. I sure will miss her. The world lost a beautiful lady but heaven gained a most precious angel.
Aunt Margaret and Uncle Charles
Thanks to all of my wonderful blog buddies who share my happy and sad times. What would I do without you…you are the best!

I am sorry for your loss, Diane. It is wonderful that your aunt shared your love of dolls. What a treasure. Your photos make me want to go play!
Very sorry-- cute collection though.
The doll in the yellow dress is just like one of my dolls from childhood. My grandgirls enjoy playing with it now.
I'm sorry about your aunt - such a special lady in your life.
I love all the dolls, so many cuties - and the old teddy is priceless.
I am so sorry for your loss. How wonderful to have a family member who shared your hobbies and love of dolls. No one in my family cares a hoot about my hobbies- so you were indeed blessed! You have a wonderful collection of dolls- I love the older ones.
oh I am so sorry to hear of your Aunts passing, its lovely you shared her love of dolls, you have such a beautiful collection, I hesitated to say collection because they seem far more than inanimate objects they are almost like family, I know you love your dolls,
I'm so sorry for the loss of your aunt. Take it easy this week Diane. Thanks too for sharing all of your dolls. I have only 2 bride dolls and 1 raggedy ann doll from my childhood. So glad you made up for it and started your own doll collection. Take care and hugs.

Diane, I so enjoyed your lovely dolls. Sorry for your loss of a lovely lady. But I'm intrigued by your bear....looks like he has lots of hugs!
Diane, I just realized I forgot to give you my sympathy on the death of your aunt. I lost one of my favorite aunts back in October. It is hard.
Thankfully we have our good memories to help through the loss of a dear loved one. I am sorry.
I'm so sorry for your loss of your precious aunt. It's wonderful you shared a love for dolls and you will think of her each time you tend to your sweet collection. Hugs.
Sorry to hear about your loss, the dollies are sweet...Hugs Francine.
Diane, I am so sorry to read of the passing of your beloved aunt. It breaks my heart to hear of our older relatives passing. I only have one aunt and uncle left. It is sad to lose them, they are holders of our history so many times. I only have a few stories of my parents. I need to write them down for my grand children. I loved seeing your dolls. I have nothing of my childhood, we never had much to start with. I think when someone has something they have loved for so long it is a blessing. I hope you know you are loved. xoxo,Susie
Oh I'm so very sorry for your loss sweet friend. May God give you peace and comfort in remembering your dear aunt. I loved seeing your sweet childhood things. I too have little from my childhood. It all went to my nieces years ago :) Blessings, saying a prayer for you ♡Hugs
Sending you hugs. It's so hard to lose family members. She sounds like a great lady. I love seeing your dolls. Memories are a comfort to us.

Your dolls are precious and such a sweet post in honor of your aunt.
Sending a gentle hug because I know what it is to lose a much loved auntie. What fun that you still have some of your childhood treasures...your version of The Velveteen Rabbit.
I'm new to your blog, visiting through Stephanie's site. I LOVE your dolly photos and your old teddy bear. They are all so cute. I'm a love of dolls and bears too, and have a lot of dolly pictures on my blog if you would care to visit.
Oh my friend, I am so sorry about your loss... you are right, heaven gained a beautiful, kind woman. Please know you are in my prayers.
Your doll pictures were a joy to look at. My sweet grandmother gave me an old wooden doll last month and I thought of you because I know you love your dolls :)
Hugs to you, my friend! Thank you for sharing this at Roses of Inspiration.
Such delightful dolls & bears! I'm reminded of those Edith and the Bear books. :-)
Sending prayers your way.
It is special to take time to go down memory lane. Thank you for taking us along.

Diane... Sorry for your loss. I know your sorrow...in the last few months, I had an uncle pass away, then my aunt...his wife passed away and on Christmas Eve another aunt passed away. My two aunts were my dad's sisters.
Sending hugs,

Diane, I'm so sorry to hear about your Aunt Margaret. It sounds like you both had things in common. I'm always delighted to see your doll collection. They're sweet and I'm sure each one has its own special meaning to you.
I wanted to ask you......if you ever find a link to your last follower, please let me know, as she just followed me as well. I wanted to tell her thank you and possibly follow her back. Thanks, Diane.
love, ~Sheri
So sorry to hear about the loss of your dear aunt. So lovely that you both shared a love of dolls. Your collection is beautiful!
My grandmother made dolls, and I have a sweet memory of being a child and watching her and her sister giggle over the cute pantaloons they'd made their dolls (peeking under dresses to show off the lovely lace and embroidery)!
I'm so sorry your aunt passed away.
My grandmother shared my love of dolls, she always made doll clothes for me and my sister when we were little girls.
Your dolls are SO cute!! I love every one!
So sorry for your loss of a special loved one. I hope your memories will be a great comfort to you. How great that you and she shared a love of dolls. Your collection was such a delight to look at. I regret that my Mom tossed most of my treasures from my childhood. I'm sure they were in bad shape, but I would LOVE to have a couple of the dolls I absolutely LOVED growing up and have looked for them at times on the internet. Your collection is wonderful!
I am so sorry about you losing your Aunt. I had wonderful aunts and I miss them all. WE are blessed to have such god memories of them.
