Hi Randall,
I have Dusk to Dawn, and I just love her. I have a thing for red heads!
It is a very pretty set, and the only silkstone set I sprang for. Share
when you get the Cissy. I would love one, but I just can't see me EVER
spending that much.

On the subject of Madame Alexander ( well, sort of LOL) Does anyone
know of a good site for id on the older dolls? I got my MIL a beautiful
little girl doll marked Alexander. She is 23 inches long with a compo
face, fabric body and vinyl legs and arms. She is really pretty, but I
would like to find out how old she is. I was so proud of myself, as I
picked her up for $35.00 cause her legs and arms had had the vinyl
plasticiser sort of swet out of her, but I have most of it cleaned up
already. I am now done with my MIL Christmas shopping! It was a great day
when she decided to collect dolls!

P.S. Cute story about the Alexander doll. When I got her I had her
sitting in the corner of the truck when I picked up my son from Grandmas (
I never take him to the estate sales, too much pressure!) When we got home
I brought the doll in and laid her on the table. Grayson looked at her and
said " She fell asleep in the truck!" He had never seen a doll with sleep
eyes! It was too cute.
