Rachel's Doll Rescue

I love certain dolls no one else seems to want. I found 4 dolls at my last yard sale hunt begging to be taken home. The price was right with the larger 3 dolls priced @ $3.00 each and the smaller @ $1.00! 
 It's as if people were only seeing the one with a broken foot so they passed on the other 3. I love a challenge and took them all. Last night performed surgery repairing the damaged foot. The ceramic pieces were difficult to use with my glue gun yet, like everything in life, it didn't have to be perfect. Just loved. My daughter thought  we should call a doll repair professional like Luel Studio  yet that just isn't in the budget so you have to make do. Plus it was important to teach her a lesson in financing and compassion.You know, since I am the  Know it all Ol' Frugal Wise One.

Here is Catherine introducing her daughter "Tiara"

I named her Tiara after noticing her blue eye shadow  automatically thinking of the Toddlers & Tiara's show  

Lastly, we have the adorable Ashley

I love her fabric

There you have it!

The next time you see a broken doll or heart.... think of patience and love to help make then whole.  

Rachel's Doll Rescue

 This is Elizabeth.

 She was 50 cents.

 I think she is the cutest thing. Her red bow makes me smile and she is really sporting those black shoes. Her hair is priceless. 

She reminds me of my daughter Julia when she was a little girl.

 Have you ever found a doll and wondered her story? Where she came from? What places she visited ? Who loved her? Why she was alone?

 I find myself doing that with people.

 The little girl in us growing into women....

 Do we have a story of  wonderful romance, travel, family and friends ?

 Tales of adventure, mystery,suspense and drama?

Rich with family traditions,good food and company?  

   What is your story?
