Although a bit damaged, she is still almost complete, and has a bottom half too
She was standing in front of a window and scared a lot of nosy people looking in
I loved those toys, we had dogs, and they loved those squeaking toys even more
I saved a few, and have a whole collection of new ones now...
My first teddy, the one on the bottom was mine
He still has a spot in my bedroom
A birdcage where we kept 2 small birds for a short time
A porcelain decorative egg we never ever could touch back then... :)
Handmade holy water font, origins are unclear, but it's quite possible my grandfather made it
My great-great grandmother's silk baptisms dress
A 3 faced (creepy) porcelain doll my mother gave me when I was 7 ot 8. I never played with dolls, it was meant as a decorative element in my room.
Creepy doll, she gave me nightmares...
She's in a closed box right now...
A silver bottle stopper
The crystal wine decanter broke years ago
