Get ready for a blast from the past!
Aren't they so cute? I found these guys at a toy fair, in bad need of cleaning. I had given away my childhood Strawberry Shortcakes (all three of them), and was happy to find these guys. They are all the same height - the group shot has a wacky angle to keep the faces well lit.
I did keep something from my childhood toys though - the basket, cat, sleeping bag, pillow, nightgown, and party dress that my mom made my first childhood dolls (whom I now think was a knockoff). I am quite sure that she found the doll at a garage sale, naked. She made a pet - she knew it should be a pin cat with white spots, and I think she had seen the "sleeper" dolls in the store because she made a strawberry sleeping bag, pillow, and a little blanket.
Moms rock.
I am very sorry for all the red! The fabric is very, very red…
