Just a note to "Anonymous"

 Recently, while off on vacation, some individual 
(or robot spammer according to my husband) 
left a comment "I want to die" written over 
and over about a hundred times.  

I deleted the comment, but felt I needed to
 respond even if it was a robot spammer.  

In case this was a real person I want you to know 
that there are people who care for you. 
Many of those caring people are readers of my blog. 
I and my readers will be holding you up 
in our prayers and thoughts. 

 I can only conjecture what would make someone 
come onto a doll blog and comment something like this, 
but whether this was a cry for help or 
an attempt to gain attention, I want you to know
that there are people who want to help you.
I am praying for you that you will 
find the help you need.

Any more comments of this kind will be 
deleted ASAP, since commenting here is not 
helpful, to you or anyone else.

However, If you truly want to talk with me, 
my email is:
thesavagedollblog@gmail.com

Why the image of the gloves?
As we all know, a glove is made in the image of a hand.
A glove is made for a purpose, but it is just 
an empty vessel without a hand inside it.
In the same way we are made in the image of God. 
We are empty and have no purpose
until we have God inside of us.  
You, my friend, are made in God's image, 
you are precious to Him and He is eagerly 
awaiting your request for His help.

Very sincerely,

Brenda

Thrift Store HAUL!!

 I spent the past week thrifting with my best friend.

We thrifted in California, then came out to Utah and thrifted some more!
I had the BEST doll haul of all time!
In one particular thrift store, someone had been thinning their
collection.  I found boxes and boxes of doll items!

I picked through everything and took all this.
Mostly bloomers, slips and stockings, but
a couple other cute items.

There is a blue pinafore, a Christmas 
hat and scarf, a pink gingham
playsuit and green 8" dress.

Lots of stockings, bloomers and slips.

Six pair of doll shoes and some more stockings.
I know bloomers and slips don't seem very exciting, 
but when you need some they are nice to have.

I also found this baby doll clothes pattern.

The playsuit fits Sally Ann
and the lace slip and collar fit
Charlotte.

There is a beautiful lace apron that fits
my 10.5" dolls.

And this green dress fits my 8" dolls
but not very well.

The blue pinafore doesn't fit anybody, yet.
I'll keep trying.


BUT!

BEST OF ALL...

I found ANOTHER Ruth Gibbs doll!
She is the 12" Mother doll.

She has the painted gold necklace
and her original dress and bonnet.

Here she is next to my 7" Ruth Gibbs.

Such sweet faces.  I will refreshing her original dress.
I also may be making her a new dress
that matches my smaller doll.

 SO!
I am actually leaving in the morning for
a vacation with my DH.
More when I return!
