Saturday will be the last day for the showing of the Doll Show at the library. I took a gazillion pictures and will post some of them in a later post..the dolls are incredible, they had almost a show 100 dolls and I even let them show my Topsy Turvy Doll(I call her Scarlet and Mammy) and there isn't another one like it in the show.
She's the one that has a white doll attached to a black doll. Depending on which way you turn her she's one or the other.
The Doll show will be ended with a Tale Tellers show called The Lonely Doll and will include snacks and crafts and is free for all children. This would be a great time for you moms in West to take the kids to the Library. Especially little girls.
