two cases and another box (with a toddler doll and wardrobe) on my front steps in the evening, and I found them the next morning. Luckily it had only started raining that morning and the plastic of the outer bags and the cases themselves protected everything. My friend is downsizing, selling her condo and following her dream to live by the sea (on an island, in a charming cottage). I'm so happy for her and it's such a wonderful dream come true. She had a condo full of collectibles and art. She had to make some tough decisions about everything. She had visited during the summer, with another of our friends, and did a show & tell of her doll collection then. I was appreciative and really enjoyed seeing them and hearing about her mother's love of dolls and their shared joy with handmade items. My friend makes all kinds of wonderful little animals and sweaters for them. Well, she did, but she is concentrating on her art now. Anyway, she gave me her Barbie and Ken and their clothes, along with a darling toddler doll, with her own wardrobe, which I'll give to a friend with two little girls. I'd give anything to see them with it on Christmas morning! So...here is what she gave me...
