Tiny Kitty memories

Sometimes I don't think of how I will feel in the future when it comes to these dolls.  I think that's bad because when you start showing off pictures of your dolls on or when you see pictures - you begin to get a little sad.

       I had forgot all about these beautiful dolls.  I remember the first time I saw one.  She was outside in her owner's backyard, wearing coveralls and was upset because her owner expected her to clean up after the dog.  Because she took her owner's credit card and spent all the money on it buying clothes!  It was too funny!  So, that was how I was introduced to this doll.  She's poised, old fashioned and humble.  Her name is Dottie, and she was friend to Kitty Collier, who incidently was made as an 18" doll.  Later she was also made into the 10" doll I've come to  know as Tiny Kitty.  She was very sweet and she had her own style.  Kind of set back into the time where women wore hats and gloves.  When I first got her, I let her keep her name because she was the first one...

 When she first came to my home, I took her right out the box!  This is Dottie.  

I combed out her hair and redressed her right away.  She's wearing a Barbie inspired outfit.

I always take pictures of them before I remove them from the box.

This is the third doll, she was renamed Juliette.

My second Dottie, she was renamed Thea.  

                                                    Here's Dottie again.  I really love how she looks in Barbie's outfits.

I can't remember what I renamed this doll, but she became Juliette's BFF!

Tiny Kitty memories.  I don't even have any photos of her on my other blogger.  I just took pictures, got them developed and put them in a photo album.  I am such a bad mother!  I had forgotten all about them.  If I hadn't seen the photo album......

Anyway, after all these years later, finding out that Robert Tonner had stopped making these dolls, now trying to find them and buy them will cost me a mint!  They're just so expensive!  I did find a couple of them on Ebay, but I don't have the funds to get them. (Bummer)  I'll just have to hang in there until I have enough funds to at least buy one.  Someone on Ebay made me an offer on a doll that I was watching.  From $88.00 to $82.00 - wow! What a price difference!  And for a used doll at that - even though she comes in her original box.  I found one store that still has at least 4 of them (I'm not posting it here!).  If I can hold on until the end of October, I might still be able to purchase her from the store.  Of course, I'd love a Dottie or a Juliette.  But I'll just start with who I saw.  I also found a person on Ebay, who crochets similar outfits for Tiny Kitty that I'll need to buy.  I like my dolls dressed in regular clothes.  

All for now!  Stay safe, protected and STAY BLESSED!
