What a treasure it is, and also your grandmother's doll!

These are definitely a couple of treasures, and that doll is really a treasure. So glad it was passed on to you, since you have obviously taken such good care of her.

Girl, you're good with spotting these delightful pieces. :-)<br /><br />I could have used an adult version of that fainting couch earlier. I got locked out of my house this morning and had to be somewhere by 11:00. By the time I found someone home and got my housekeeper to come with her key, I was ready for a faint! LOL! But true to the Scarlet O'Hara code, I wouldn't let a little near fiasco whip me. I took a shower, composed myself, and got to the party with a smile on my face and feet that were killing me. ;-)<br /><br />Love to you, Sweet Gloria!<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8700019929330607466.post-38831862022861856492009-05-12T09:04:00.000-07:002009-05-12T09:04:00.000-07:00I love this sweet red fainting couch!!!
