Sent: Feb 5, 2010 8:15 PM I sent this to you folks a long, long time ago but I think it is worth repeating. My aunt by marriage lived to be 96 years old. She was a 'keeper.' Her daughter in going through her boxes and bags found a doll fashioned out of odds and ends found around a small southern farm. She said it was the ugliest thing she had ever seen. She found out that her grandmother had made it when she was about 10 years old. My aunt was only 3 months old when her mother passed away, leaving the doll among her personal things. My cousin didn't want to throw the doll away so she wrote a small note telling who had made the doll, dates etc. pinning it on the doll's clothes. She then took it to an antique shop in Atlanta that dealt in 'folk art' pieces. A few days later she got a call from the shop. Seems a lady had come into the shop, went to the doll, picked it up and started crying. She had read the note and kept saying "This is mine, my family." She was a member of the Genealogical group in her County. She wrote an article about the doll and sent it to all members. Now, what led her to that particular shop among the many in Atlanta? My cousin says it was her mother on the 'other side' because she didn't want the doll to leave the family. What do you think?
