Wow Bobbi, believe it or not. I once had a lovely black doll for Christmas, with a pink pushchair. An Aunt of mine, who was brilliant at needlework, made me some clothes for her and I called my doll - guess what - Susan !! I agree, happy days.

Haha, what a coincidence , Susie was the best dressed black dolly around for miles as there was a second hand shop locally and I'd spend my pocket money on baby dresses for her , :0)
The charity shops these days are overflowing with dolls, teddies, soft toys etc. It makes you wonder why children don't hang on to them like we used to. My teddy still sits on the window sill, looking through the window.
A doll's house that had working lights. I can still remember how excited I was.

Sadly I don't know where Susie went :0(
a red transistor radio in a leather case with an ear piece xx

Arh Mallyh, I had a little black one and I confess I used to take it to church on a Sunday night and sit right at the back listening to the top twenty ......it's a wonder I wasn't struck down haha
A desk....a proper grown up bureau. My parents said if I had one it would be the only gift that year as it was so expensive. Its only veneered plywood but was the best they could afford and 50+ years later I still have it and use it.

Prudie, I had one of those as well. Both Susan my black doll and the doll's house are still stored at my Mum and Dad's house, where my brother now lives.
Question Author
Like Prudie I had a dolls house ,you turned a handle at the side of the 'lift' put a little doll on the wee shelf and that's how she went upstairs haha
Sometimes I wish I was a kid again - do you Bobbi ?
Question Author
Yes , I had a wonderfully happy childhood HereIam, I still remember the gift I got for my 11th birthday, a Timex watch, I felt so grown up ,haha
Yes Bobbi, like we said before, happy days indeed x
I remember a life-size new born doll that I loved. Also a golly, that I called Peter, and could never understand why my mum was amused by it. I also remember a dolls house she made, which I spent hours with, and many that my sister and I made ourselves from shoe boxes
I wish some people would just think of their own posts, I had someone like you sitting next to me at school, copying my drawing. :)
