A Fascination for Dolls

-
Generations of little girls have whiled away long afternoons happily dressing and undressing their dollies, having tea parties and rocking and cuddling them to sleep. I was one of those girls myself...in fact, I actually recall being given my last Barbie at age 14 with the words, 'this would be the last!' I was thrilled upon the birth of my daughter...because I knew then, that dolls would definitely become a part of my life once again...and believe me...we have had our share of fun with them!
  
Upon Spenser's more mature years, my wise husband commented... "You move from playing with dolls, to becoming a collector of dolls." I like those words...

 Naturally...you can imagine how much fun I had when we were selecting things for the gift area in the tea room...I couldn't resist these charming faces...they're available for purchase...that is...if I don't change my mind! (smile). Their sweet faces bring such a smile to mine...



*Dolls are $35.00 each

"We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!" Mom was the first to get this set of “Cup of Christmas Tea” teacup and teapot. She received them many years ago by a friend in California, Dayna Esquivel. When we moved out here to the country, Mom and I began enjoying tea together in the afternoons. That Christmas Mom found another set of “Christmas Tea” teacups and teapot and purchased them for me! We always get these teacups out at Christmas and sip tea out of them on a regular basis.
