What a lovely family treasure to find!
a fantastic family treasure ! Great collage !
lovely story...
like this one a lot... :) cool "collage"... and well - old things sometimes keep old secrets...
Treasures from the past and an excellent story to go with it. There is much history that doll could tell you about the playful days of your grandmother. Very Moving. Aloha
This lovely photo carries away with my fantasies long long back in time. Wonderfully captured. What a treasure to find!
A beautiful collage, Kimmers --- and a heartbraking story... Its always wonderful to be reminded of a good childhood - here your grandmas one - and to have some "souvenirs" of that ancient time... like the photo quite a lot - even if dolls of this kind always scare me a bit... dont really know why, but its a fact...! :-)
What a wicked found Kim!!! I'm so totally fascinated by old things like these!!! I wish u would have shot the newspaper on its own as well so we can see more details of it! The dolls is such a treasure too!! Great challenge entry darling!!
The composition was really good. Great photo. You should be proud.
Nice colage wih the old doll, and the papers are great, lots of story in this. Very nice, !!!!!!! Lina
This is so special,thanks for sharing a photo of this old Doll! She is such a pretty one too! It is nice to look at such an old piece and to hear the stories behind it. Wonderful capture Kimarie! Hope the kids get well soon! :)
Thanks for sharing story and pics...nice presentation.
Kimmer this is just fantastic, what a find, i can almost feel the excitment you must have felt when you first saw this treasure, the history and the Memories, all wraped up into a safely tucked away package, totaly bueatiful, and thank you for shareing this with us............V.....John
That is amazing!! Finding old stuff like that is facinating. My grandma had a Shirly Temple doll, too! I have it in my cedar chest. She got dropped so her eyes need to be fixed, but her clothes and hair are all still attached. This is a wonderful and sentimental shot. Very well done. :)
Great find kimmer. So nice to find things of they pass like this and from your grandmom too makes it even more better. Thanks for the story about it.
(singing) I remember it well) Yes my grandmother collected those real dolls not made of fake plastic real dolls,when my sister passed she had one of grannys dolls also: This is so wonerdful of your grandmother to take care that it was wrapped up however it would be nice to fix her up again afterall she is not humpty dumpty she is a treasure to share: lovely photo!
Ooo! That is sooo cool! I once found some old newspapers in the wall of an abandon house, but they only dated back to the 30's. 1918!!! That is so cool!! Now flatten them out and scan them! ;)
You find a lovely family treasure here! Great collage Kim and v!!

Beautiful picture, very well presented too. I love the compo. Excelent work. Have a good day :O)
Memories which lies in our soul. I love this shot for what he mean (we mostly have such image in our memories !) Great and sensitive shot ! I deeply love it !
Wonderful work Kimmie. This is really one helluva composition!!!! Very cool subject for one, but also the light and colors are simply dead on. Excellent work indeed!!!! You should definitly be proud of this one. YAAAAY FOR YOU!!! Have a wonderful day buddy!!! #:O)

WOW... what afind! Fantastic disply, Kimmers! *****
Thats am amazing find and a wonderful treasure of memories to keep!..nice photo.
This is indeed a very special treasure you found- it seems that dolls and other precious playthings hold the spirit of the owner that can be felt - how grand that you shared the experience and this wonderful picture with us. :o) CC
Wow Kimmers! This is really somethin'! It's awesome to have a link to your family's past! This doll and the paper are something to treasure!
a wonderful find and story.i like this image very much. great mood.excellent done,Kim. * vote * #:O)
What a fascinating pic and story! In a sense, the papers you found in Peggy's head are the thoughts and memories of the doll herself. Seems like she's dreaming of a pair of new shoes! Peggy would have been an expensive doll when new - lucky Grandma - and so makes it quite a valuable antique today. I hope Peggy comes out of her closet one day and is restored to her former glory! Thanks for a very entertaining posting!
now that a find . bet it worth some money now . but it was your grandmothers so keep on to it. super job and you had fun too
