We plotted and planned exactly how we would purchase our favorite historical dolls and all of their accessories.
In the end we didn't buy a single thing. I think we just couldn't justify buying an $80 doll when we could buy books and jewelry instead.
But yesterday I got an urge to go look at that doll that I desired so much for 3 summers.
And what I found was a tragedy.
The doll that I had picked out was discontinued last year. I couldn't believe how sad I was hearing that no other little girls would dream about having their own victorian Samantha doll like I had.
No planning or saving,
no wishing or hoping.
Sniff, sniff.
If I really wanted, I could buy her on ebay for probably $150. But if I wasn't willing to spend $80 as a yound girl for her, why would I want to spend more now?
I guess the dream is often sweeter that the reality.

Let Alaina pick a new dream for you.
Did your school library have the books? I checked ALL of them out, thinking each doll should be MINE. In the end, I didn't have any either. :0)
I did get Brenna one for her 6th b-day. It's not a historical one though. It's the Just Like Me doll with sandy-colored hair and hazel eyes, just like her. I think I'm as excited about that doll as my Brenna is. :0)
Great post!
