I got this box...
But who is it?
Ooo, who is that under the blue dress?
It is a 1920 Patsy!!
She looks a little startled, but
it would be disorienting to wake up
in a strange place.
She has this sweet outfit made from the
vintage pattern below.
Originally twenty-five cents!
Long ago I made this sailor suit from it.
The collar was made from a
vintage hanky.
(Love that!)
A couple fingers are damaged, but
I doubt I'll look this good when I'm
100 years old!
This is the blue dress she came with.
It is wool and does not fit her well.
I tried on some other dresses.
This is sweet.
Daisy could not stay away. As
you can see they are both the same size.
I like this little sun dress on her.
She is from the same time era as
Helena and Lillibet.
She and Lillibet have the same green eyes.
We already have a "Patsy" in the
doll room so...
What shall we call her?

Oh my goodness! What a cutie!
I will suggest my mom's name, who was born in 1927: Lucy. She was named for her grandmother (I'm not sure when she was born!). My mom's full name was Lucibelle, but she shortened it to Lucy in (I think!) high school as evidently people had trouble with the longer name.
Hi Mary,
Yes she is a cutie! I love Lucibelle! I think we may have a winner. I like how Lucy and Daisy seem to go together. In all fairness I will see what other names come up, but when you know, you know!

Daisy's new sister should also have a flower name, circa 1920: Petunia!! What do you think?

Hi Susan,
That is a good idea! Or Lily?? I am considering all ideas. I will wait to see what other names are suggested.

Hi Brenda,
She is adorable! Going with flower names might I suggest Dahlia. Dahlia and Daisy.
I always look forward to your blogs.

These are the sweetest dolls. A nice find to add to your collection. I like the name Lucibelle. It's unusual. I like the flower names, but Lucibelle... have fun deciding 😊 - Jennifer
Hi Kathy,
Thank you! Oooo, I like Dahlia too. I'm so glad you like my blog! Dahlia and Daisy. AS I said I will wait for all recommendations before we decide.

Hi Jennifer,
They are very sweet. I know, Lucibelle. But I do like the flower name idea too. I will wait another day or two for any more ideas.

If you're feeling patriotic and in honor of our 250, you could go with Betsy or Liberty or America. Just a lower on the list idea. I was trying to think of other patriotic names... when I used to do genealogy, I discovered that people used to name their children America. I thought that was a neat discovery.
Hi Anon,
I like that idea too! Betsy is always cute. I have heard of people being named America, I love that idea. My dad's father was named 'Noble' I wanted to name our son Noble, but he would have been 'Noble Savage' he'd have to be raised by wolves to carry that name off! Haha!

Hi Brenda,
She is so cute. I can see a lot of mischief happening with Daisy as the boss. They look like they will be great friends.
Do you know the MIlly Molly Mandy books? They are my favourites from my childhood. The author wrote a different story Called Marigold in Godmothers house. Marigold is another flower name for you.
I also had an Aunty Violet if you want another flower name. I don't know how you will choose you have so many lovely suggestions from everyone.
