There are quite a few (newborn( dolls for sale on eBay... some very expensive, but others very reasonable. Maybe you can find one there to buy. Here is a link that might be useful: newborn dolls on eBay

Terrific, I love the delicate little mouth and the almond shaped eyes. Very nice job. I keep saying I want to try this. I think I would not want to part with them when I finished.

About 20 years ago my granddaughter's other grandma sent a picture of her into some company that makes those dolls. It scared my granddaughter and she has not liked dolls since.Recently when they moved,they had to take the doll out of the attic and it's eyes had turned purple and it really freaked my granddaughter out.She didn't even want the doll brought to the new home. I love dolls and offered to take it,but my daughter wanted to keep it. I think they are beautiful when they are so lifelike.

From OP: "She pointed to the table and chairs and I went to speak and noticed a bassinet in the corner of the kitchen. I immediately lowered my voice, apologized if I was too loud and sat down. I asked "Babysitting the Grands today?" She walked toward the bassinet and with her finger motioned me to come over. Soon as I got to the bassinet she put her index finger to her lips and did the 'ssshhhh' very quietly. She pulled the blanket away and told me she wasn't babysitting but his was her baby, Joey and that Joey's sister was napping in the other room. Long story a bit shorter --- she showed me Joey's sister, dressed in a really soft, fluffy sleeper, sucking on a pacifier." This is a person blurring reality and her "collection" You don't have to be quite (finger to lips shhhh) if they're dolls. Bread, wine bottles and grapes are not exclusive to vinyards. In fact I have all three here in my little rental hovel and normally have all three in my own home, and we don't grow grapes. We have friends who do own a vinyard, and gosh darn it, they have the same three items in their home. Now to blur reality with fantasy you would need to offer your guess a slice of plastic bread, or maybe sniff the air and wax poetic over the scent of the plastic bread, but just having it sit around isn't blurring reality. Much like doll collectors who have dolls on display. They are enjoying the beauty of the dolls. If they then take them down and have a tea party with them (and they're over the age of say 12) they're having some issues with reality. Now off subject...Organic...DANG YOU!!! Did you beat me to something? :oP I have two of the lovely chocolate ribbed coverlets for my master bedroom. I love them...but must admit, the cats do too and they're getting furry :( I'm going to have to buy something else (but it will be seffra! cuz you've ruined me for anything else). Now I'm going to go talk to my sheets! :oP Back to your regular (goofy) programing ladies!
