If you were born in the late 60's early 70's then you probably remember Ms. Beasley. She was from the T.V. show Family Affair. I loved that show, and even had my own Ms. Beasley{not sure what ever happened to her} . I've kept an eye out for another one over the years, checking ebay every once in a while~ but she's a collectible and the auctions get pretty expensive $$$. Last weekend while at the Flea Market looking for frames I spotted her!! I almost didn't even ask how much because I assumed it would be a ridiculous amount. So I asked, "How much for the doll"?{like I had no idea who or what she was} he said: "$9" I said: "how about $5"? I don't know what I was thinking because I usually don't do that, especially if it's something I really want!! He said: "fine, $5" What??? Wow!!! Now I need to find her glasses! Me on my 4th Birthday{1971}opening another one of my favorite dolls: Drowsy Baby. I have a slightly different version of my original{above} Now if I could get my hands on a Blythe Doll, I'd be really happy!! I won't hold my breath, I think they're possibly the most collectible doll in the world! But wouldn't I love to stumble across one for $5 :)
I absolutely loved that show Family Affair when I was a little girl! A couple of years ago I sold a Mrs. Beasley doll that I had found at a garage sale on Ebay. I still haven't forgiven myself....
I had a baby doll just like that!! I am visiting this morning via "All Things Vintage Sheets" to locate your tutorial on a duvet cover. :o) Your blog is just adorable!! So glad to have found it and will be a follower as well. :o) Have a great weekend. Sincerely ~ Trish ps. I have a new little page on my blog titled "bartering" where I have quality handcrafted jewelry that I am hoping to barter for fabric. Please drop by when you can. I'd love to have you over! :o)
