Perhaps it was the cute little shoes that I was attracted to first.
Or perhaps the darling details on the dress that she was wearing.
It could have been the little wave that she gave me each time I passed her.
Perhaps it was the adorable little bow detail on the back of her dress or the tiny old fashioned silver key that wound her up.
She did give me a sweet sideways smile...
Perhaps that is why after seeing her at local antique store a few weeks ago, I finally decided she need to live at my house.
Perhaps she came my way just to make me happy.
Happy Day.
That's such a nice doll. Does the windup key still work? Great find.

This sweet looking girl does look like she belongs at your house with you! She fits right in with all your other vintage goodies :-)
I'm sure she's happy too!

This sweet doll looks so familiar. I think my grandmother had saved my mother's and we used to play with her in the basement of their house. I'll have to share this post with my mother and ask her. I'm glad she found a good home.

I can see why you had to bring her home. She has a very "happy" look and makes one smile. She will enjoy her new home!

She is adorable! I am not a doll person the only one I have is a vintage Buddy Lee I received on my first birthday. Somehow she looks like the perfect little friend for him!

She is so totally Magpie Ethel-ish that she just had to eventually go home with you!
