My latest hobby

Yes, I know I said I was going to post more often, and, yes, I know I haven't.  I am just coming down off a major flare; long story short, I have been kinda out of commission for a while.

At any rate, my latest hobby: Dawn dolls!  I had them as a child in the early 70s. Man, were they awesome.  You know, those 6 1/2" fashion dolls manufactured by the now defunct Topper Company?

I found that they can be had on the cheap if you look carefully and pick and choose.  Today, I received the lovely Longlocks in the mail.  She is the doll that I have wanted to most.  She was my favorite as a child.  That brings my doll total to 11 - 12 if you count my headless body also!

Fort those of you that don't know of the wonderful world of Dawn, here is a link to a great introductory article.  For those of you who are, well, it will be a stroll down memory lane.

  1. Yes! I had a Dawn, or two... I think my Barbies survived, but Dawn didn't. SHe lost a leg before I even had her package open. But she was neat! Keep writing Mel!!!
