PROJECT
F: THE LOFT 14
As
promised, the contents of the trunk are revealed.... Yes, I am afraid
it is even more dolls! Allow me to unpack these soft toys for you to
view....
A tall
rubber cat toy and an ancient cloth dog - the latter of which I
recall used to occupy me at my grandparents house. A pink teddy bear,
cloth dog, plush owl and....another bloody doll! This humungous
creation was made by my mother for me one Christmas and I called it
Sally. My mother was worried that it had thin hair, but I added it to
my collection of dolls and bears to rescue from the waves when I
played at being a lifesaver and fire when I pretended to be Gerry
from the Skippy TV show....Both water and fire were created by a
satin sheet!
Left to
right, we start with a strange blue toy I do not recall. I think it
is some type of homemade teddy bear. My old wig is in front! I recall
wearing it to class one April fools day.... The next bear along I
think I called Sandy.
Next is
a green thing - supposedly a rabbit - my mother made. I think when
she made Humphrey for me to unpack when on vacation in France, she
made another one.... A very old - & alas motheaten - doll
follows. I think this would have been either my mothers' or one of my
two aunts' dolls. It seems to be from the 1920's or 30's... A plush
dog finishes this group - but there is more!
