Magic Doll Memories
It’s amazing to me how such simple things can bring memories flooding back.
The other day, I took some time to clean up two Magic Nursery dolls to get them ready to sell. (One is on eBay now, and the other one will be soon.)
They were both pretty grungy, and the one with long hair had a tangled mess. Both were in very good condition, otherwise, and we found them for a price that made it worthwhile to try to clean them up.Well, they don’t look like the same dollies today, all cleaned up and freshly combed, so my efforts were certainly worth it.
What always surprises me is how I feel when I’m cleaning and dressing a doll. I find myself cradling and caressing them, just the way I would have when I was a child. I get this fleeting glimpse of that long ago time when they were so real to me. I love that feeling. I wish I could capture it for longer periods of time, but I’m thankful for re-living even a brief moment of childhood’s wonder.
Magic Nursey dolls came out after I was grown and had children of my own, but they help me remember the magic of all childhood dolls.
My mom got me a little brown dog named Rumply for christmas when I was in the 3rd grade the year 1996. I still have him but the tag was ripped off of him a long time ago. I was wondering if I could get some help looking for him on line. I want to find out when he was born. IT said on his tag that it was in December but i dont know what day or year. I loved that little doggy full of beans so much that I slept with him every night and took him everywhere i went. Hes a brown dog with wrinkles on his face.I remember the tag saying something like Full O’Beans or something close to that. He kinda looks like the TY beanie baby named Wrinkles but hes darker and very special to me. PLease help me find him. Help me find my favorite toy in the world—- If anybody has any information about Rumply please email me at WeepingWillows87@hotmail.com —Thank you
WHOOPEE!! I’m doing the happy dance all over the living room! It took a bit of Googling, and quite a bit of luck, but I FOUND it. And you’ll never guess where … on eBay.
The Full O’Beans gave it away. That’s Avon’s brand of Beanie Babies. Anyway, to make a long story short. Here’s Rumply, in all his glory. I’ve already emailed her with the link to the eBay listing, and hopefully by the time you read this, she has the information she wanted.
Gee, this is a great way to start a day!
