She has been on holidays over the Christmas break and decided that it was time to do a big clean up of the garage. Two piles were created - the keep pile and the throw away pile and I ended up on the top of the throw away pile. I stayed there for a couple of days and then I was picked up and looked over. It was decided that even though I was very dirty and my clothes had fallen off me I was to be taken and given a second chance. I was not allowed into the bathroom because I was just too dirty as can be seen below.
So I was taken to the laundry and plunged into a bucket of lovely warm soapy water and given a good cleanup with up a facewasher - whilst I was soaking in the bucket along came another dolly and she was given the same treatment. After we had both been scrubbed we were taken out and wrapped up in a nice fluffy towel to dry off. Here we are all nice and squeaky clean ready for some new clothes.
After a couple of days we were both presented with a new dress each and underwear - don't we look pretty.
P.S We are both over 50 years old but I think that we have aged quite well.

I have a doll just like the big one Karen only mine is blonde, she resides in the top of the wardrobe, saw her just about two weeks ago. Mine is called Ketchen.
I love your story and the dolls both look lovely now.

Pretty dolls with lots of lovely memories.

how lovely that they made it from the 'throw away pile' to the keep pile.
With a wash and a scrub they look beautiful again.
Karen your doll made me think of my 'sailor' doll - she looked like this but her hair was in plaits. You are so lucky to still have her! :)
