I warned him about her, even though he was always on his best behavior in stores, and showed him her sign, ect. She loved him, and even sent him home with a present. I'll never forget that. We have to look hard sometimes for what is truly inside a person's heart.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147259175811183482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315747.post-55815315089399147782010-07-08T15:18:52.690-04:002010-07-08T15:18:52.690-04:00What a lovely doll.

We used to have one like that nearby. All my friends and I loved it, but sadly, it is gone now. We used to talk about it a lot at craft night because the woman who owned it was a real character, and could be very grumpy. She sometimes yelled at her customers, and she had a sign on the front door that threatened to hang little children who touched things! For some reason though, she truly liked me and would talk my ear off at times. We all kept going there, because she had things that we couldn't find anywhere else. I miss the store, and surprisingly the owner too. I think, she had a difficult life at sometime. Her husband was a Norwegian fisherman named Olaf and I had the sense that he died when her children were young. Anyhow, what memories you've brought back. I'll be thinking of Annette all day today.<br /><br />It's going to be in the 90's here today. It will feel very warm after what has been a very cool start to summer so far, in our part of the world.Lenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147259175811183482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315747.post-48268836989376168582010-07-08T08:41:01.169-04:002010-07-08T08:41:01.169-04:00I love that doll.

I think I was 10 or 12 when I first saw the pattern.<br />Lucky you. And to top it off the silk flower store. It looks like a treasure like the old Ben Franklins used to be.<br />sandySewManyDollshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17892559405525453393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29315747.post-10719982466997101952010-07-07T21:44:33.836-04:002010-07-07T21:44:33.836-04:00Love that doll.

It hasn't been as bad this week because it has been cloudy, and we had a good rain yesterday. But today, the heat plus the moisture in the ground, it was absolutely steamy today. I can hardly wait for fall.AngelMchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14987158429794291348noreply@blogger.com
