Day 2 of 365 - Doll

The flea market was over.  I glanced under a table and saw this in a box.  Twenty five cents!  I can imagine a grandmother sitting in a rocking chair, seventy five years ago, crocheting.  Even the undergarments are crocheted.   In the purse is a quarter from 1945.  I smile whenever I look at this work of love.

    I inherited one very similar to that!

    It is remarkably well preserved for its age - it has obviously been looked after.

    I've seen that doll before but never thought about its history until now.
