The 1937 movie Heidi starring Shirley Temple inspired this doll. My friend has a vintage doll collection. I photographed her dolls in 2015 and had a jigsaw puzzle created from one of the photos.

They creep some people out.
Others collect and display them.
Did you have a special doll?

Yes! I still have some of my favorite dolls. My Sweetie Pie Doll comes first. I called my grandchildren Sweetie Pie’s a lot when they were little. I also have other dolls my mother saved for me. Sweetie Pie went every where with me.
Awww I’d like to see a photo of Sweetie Pie.
I did have a special doll. Don’t know what happened to it but it did creep my kid out.
Maura is a precious doll in the above photo! As a kid I was more keen on stuffed animals than dolls. I don’t have any dolls from my childhood, but do still have a few treasured “stuffies”.
