Today is World Doll Day, it is on the second Saturday in June and was established in 1986 by a lady called Mildred Seeley as a day to not only celebrate dolls but also caring and nurturing love.
It is a day when people can give a doll to a child or person to celebrate the importance of dolls in early childhood to both girls and boys.
You can, of course , celebrate it however you wish. I thought I'd share these photos from last years Chat n Snap, which display was a toy shops Christmas window of all types of dolls, you can see many Sasha's but also lots of other dolls.

I'm hoping to add a photo here before the end of the day of a selection of my different dolls hopefully I'll remember to take it!

Perhaps it's a good job that I didn't know about this special DOLLS day before now as might well have been tempted to buy/give myself a doll instead of strictly keeping to my downsizing rule.
ReplyDeleteLoved seeing all these Chat n' Snap photos again...especially as I wasn't able to attend there myself on this occasion.
If only I'd remembered sooner I may have treated myself to something small in the doll department!
DeleteIt's nice to see the range of dolls that came along :)
Doll Day - what a great idea! That was a truly amazing display. It's a shame that stores don't do things like that anymore.
ReplyDeleteIt is ! Everyone was great to bring along such a range of dolls for the display.
DeleteWouldn't it be nice if we could turn back time for a day and we could go to one of these wonderful old toy shops and SHOP! :)
Oh I wish I'd realised, I'd have given myself a gift of another new doll LOL! Actually I did get a new doll for myself the previous Saturday when in Barcelona but by the time I got home I realised she just wasn't for me so she has already been adopted out!
ReplyDeleteI love that big display of different dolls, how lovely to see so many types all in one place! Thanks for sharing Dee :)
