The puzzles are over 30 years old now, and ,y grandchildren play with them and love them. The puzzles of today are not made with the quality of the puzzles that I have, therefore, if I see them in good condition, I buy them.

However, my biggest obsession is composition dolls from the 20's and 30's. I could spend myself into poverty on them. I have named them. I dress them in real vintage baby clothes and have them sitting around my house in little rocking chairs, old doll carriages and even a child's high chair from the late 1800's that converts into a rocking chair. I can't help myself!<br /><br />I love your blog and am so glad I discovered it!<br /><br />Molly McGuireAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
