Here's one of  my daughters holding my Holly Hobbie doll, which I got when I was 2 and has somehow survived all these years and through all of the times we have moved.  Who else had/has one?  There's a ton of adorable Holly Hobbie paraphernalia that you can buy on Etsy - check this adorable book and collector's plate.  This Holly Hobbie colorforms commercial made me smile- so sweet!

  1. Oh, I still love Holly Hobbie!!! I no longer have my old dolls (I doubt they were in very good shape!), but we have one for the girls to share, to go with the Halloween costume they each wore they were one. I had a Holly Hobbie bedroom, and Colorforms, and stuff I can't even remember! I have a plate now, and some books. LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!!!

  2. Your daughter is beautiful! I don't have any of my old dolls now, I sometimes think I will start collecting them, but the problem is I have so many collections already - and there is only just so much room. Love the Holly Hobbie bag and plate.

  4. Thats amazing the wonderful condition of your Holly Hobbie doll!!! I never had a doll but we had some adorable Hobbie framed artwork decorating my bedroom... I wonder what ever happened to that? I also had Holly Hobbie paper doll that I loved until they fell to pieces. Your daughter is so sweet, she's a dolly too!
