Now, when I have started earning, and our financial condition has improved, I bought <a href="https://dollfan.club" rel="nofollow">the finest collection</a> of Barbie doll for the small kids living in an orphanage, and we often play together.

At a community center near us, a dollhouse is on permanent display. It's under glass, so you can't move anything around, but I enjoy looking at all the little pieces. <br /><br />I remember going shopping for dollhouse pieces when I was a child (my grandfather made a dollhouse), and it was such fun. It's how very wee they are that makes them seem as though they are part of another (alive) world.

I closed the lid on them. I went upstairs. I couldn't do it -- I rushed back down and took them out again -- they couldn't breathe, couldn't see what was going on in the world around them! They are sitting on the shelf in my (childhood bedroom) closet to this day.<br /><br />Left brain says, "They're just dolls. What difference does it make if they're in a trunk?"<br /><br />Right brain says, "They were alive when you were a child and therefore they are STILL alive."<br /><br />Hmm...I think I know what I'm going to write about today...Mary Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078793537148794310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-68574049804323783652013-01-25T18:09:47.116-05:002013-01-25T18:09:47.116-05:00Hi, Amy.

We made them blankets, clothes and food (out of clay). I like that motor sound in the poem, too.Author Amokhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13636391982938592789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6343349006357324362.post-20148763192872462502013-01-25T17:02:49.834-05:002013-01-25T17:02:49.834-05:00Yes, they are real.

I have a raggedy Ann & Andy in a cradle for the "grandgirls" to play with at my house. I keep thinking I want to have a dollhouse my self someday, something for creating all those wonderful miniatures-very enticing!

I love the line:<br />"Beneath my hands<br />they come to life."<br />It's what she does as often as possible.
