Of the dolls I did have--I loved the squishy soft ones--the ones I could cuddle, so much more than the hard plastic ones (I got a Chatty Cathy once.)Kathryn Albrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00133422500061876841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6908284284859079079.post-24353502381835762122015-11-12T08:29:21.602-08:002015-11-12T08:29:21.602-08:00I loved Raggedy Ann when I was a little girl.

The first picture here is actually one of her Raggedy Anns.

As a major history buff, I can't find all the information by myself, and love when others share such great pieces. <br /><br />I was given a ceramic head doll by relatives of my great grandmother. It's still around somewhere, but I've yet to take possession, since my mother loved dolls and wanted to keep it.

I was never into dolls when I was little--I was into horses :-) But my mother mentioned recently that this year was Raggedy Ann's birthday and I thought such a doll deserved a special blog.

I'd never paused to consider the history of such a beloved bit of Americana history.
