I still have my Raggedy Ann, although I had to redress her after she was left outside for a while and her clothes got moldy. But, she is over 50 years old now and she lies in my Cedar Chest hoping for the day when a little girl will play with her again!<br /><br />- Momma CatMomma Cat https://www.blogger.com/profile/09994734996246559246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647790914647612650.post-88187377720734111072016-11-14T15:03:19.501-05:002016-11-14T15:03:19.501-05:00Thank you so much, Isabelle!

She was a sad little doll, no hair left, fabric so old her arms and legs kept falling off. I loved her more than any other doll I ever had. One day mom put rag-rag in the wash one too many times and she came out a mess of threads and fluff. So at the ripe old age of 7 I learned to make dolls trying to replace my much loved doll, I have made many wonderful dolls, but now at age 44 I know none will ever replace that wonderfully bedraggled doll.
