Remember When?

I have been purging in the attic and the things I have been finding are a real trip down memory lane!  I was not a dollmaker like Saundra, and this is the extent of my doll making.  I am guessing these are from the early 80's.  "Primitive" sure has changed over the years.  These are darn near considered vintage 😁


Another "primitive" doll that was gifted to me from dear college friend Wink.  Probably the same vintage.  If you look at the her apron, it says "Lauren, a stitcher of fine samplers".  Back then that was my handwork of choice.

Many of you hookers reading this will most likely recognize the name Sibyl Osicka.  Sibyl is a most talented hooker, teacher and author of many hooking books.  I am just passing on that her husband passed away a couple days ago.  Anyone wishing to send her a card, please email me and I will send you her snail mail address.  I'm sure cards will be most appreciated.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
Pug hugs 😊
Lauren

Oh yes, I remember those vintage dollies. And probably made one or two of those as a starting dollmaker. Sometimes it's fun travelling down memory lane.

I was never a doll maker but I did have (still have???) some dolls like that. (When you're done with your attic, will you come tackle my basement???) ~Robin~

Well of course I remember those dolls.
It is hard to clean out isn't it.
