New England Home & Garden: November 20, 2009
Antiques: Dolls
When I was 8 years old, my grandmother gave me a cloth doll for Christmas. Neither pretty nor fancy, she was plainly dressed in gingham, with yarn hair, button eyes, and a painted-on smile. She wasn't exactly fun or exciting, and I didn't play with her much.
But long after my other childhood toys had met their fate at the annual church bazaar, I felt compelled to keep this simple doll, well into my adult years. Fact is, I was truly saddened when one day I returned home from work to find that my black Lab, Greta, had shown her enthusiasm for the doll by ripping her face clean off. Bad dog!
