FINALLY!!! It has been a long time
coming. The first Saucy Walker and only Saucy
Walker lovingly given to me by my parents (http://saucywalkercorner.com/MOM-DAD/A-Mom-Dad.htm)
so long ago. An IDEAL 22" Saucy Walker
between the years 1952 and 1953. Her is her story: When
my Mother finally gave her back to me in 2007 after I
begged her for years to return her to me so I could
pass her on to my own daughter. The feeling I
had when I saw her again was that she brought back
many memories. Here is the way she was as I
remember:
 |
I had no
idea that my mother still had her original
pinafore as Dr, Hubby and I accidentally ran
across it in our attic one day. I sat
there and cried as Mom had lived with us
before she passed and we must have mistaken
the box for one of ours and stored the box
without opening it while she was still with
us. Just to see that pinafore in perfect
condition once again for the first time in 56
years was overwhelming. I was so
grateful in my heart that she had stored it
away safely. |
We have restored many Saucy Walker
dolls and all the while I kept telling my own doll
that one day she would be next. We had her all
dressed as our Logo doll as we started this business
selling fake foods only. However she had never
been fully restored. Then when a lady wanted the
Posie doll in the Happy Birthday Image below it gave
me an idea to begin selling Saucy Walker Dolls.
Then on to the restoration for all the little girls
that played with their Saucy Walker dolls in the
1950's as I was doing myself. We all want to get
the dolls ready to pass on and that brings up another
fact. My daughter is more or less
like me, we do not want to collect dolls, only the
dolls that mean something to us personally. So I
thought Shawna, my daughter would not really want my
doll and because Madison, my granddaughter, is the one
who had more interest in the dolls we repaired my
Saucy should go to her. Not So it seems...Today
I found that it is Shawna who really wants her and she
wants her restored back to the way she appeared as our
Logo doll in which so many dolls were ordered from us
to look just like her. So that we will do. She
wants memories of this business that we started when
she was living with us a few years ago. We had
put her Logo doll things on other dolls and now we
will go back to the places we purchased her things and
do it again. This restoration may
take some time but we will eventually, once again,
have our own Logo Doll Look back again on her in the
real. We pray that Shawna will one day display
her along with this story and share her memory with
many young girls and know that the little spirit I
once thought my Saucy Walker to have when I was small
will live on eternally. Thank
you for your Interest and watch for Updates on this,
her web site.
