Santa Clause brought me this doll for Christmas in the mid 1950’s. She was under our tree one Christmas morning. I couldn’t believe my eyes! My parents did not have much money when I was growing up. I had just read the book, “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm” so I named the doll Rebecca. I have so many memories of my little brother and me playing with Rebecca and talking for her. My mama also had made some adorable clothes for her. I remember being so surprised and happy. We didn’t get a lot for Christmas, but Mama always made it special. I kept the doll and the clothes in a doll suitcase until I was grown. After my mama passed away, I had moved out on my own. I left all of my things in the attic at Daddy’s house. He eventually remarried and sold the house. I completely forgot about the things I had in the attic until a few years later. Daddy didn’t get them out of the attic when he moved. It was too late for me to get them, although if that happened to me now, I would go to the house and ask the new owners if they might have come across them. I wish I had. Perhaps they would have still had the clothes. I can only remember what one of the doll dresses looked like. I have no photos of them. I don’t know how I managed to hold on to my doll, Rebecca. This doll brings back so many fond memories to me.

      Your shadow work on the alpha is so great!!!
      I'm sorry your dad didn't ask you if you wanted something before he moved...

      I am tearing up because I want so badly for you to have those doll clothes. My boys are fascinated with my doll collection & I'm the seamstress for all their plushies' pulled stitches. Thank you for telling Rebecca's story. Thank you so much for joining the storytelling challenge!
