I do not remember my first doll, but one of my very favorite dolls was Chatty Cathy that I got in the early 60's. My sister & I each got Chatty Cathy's for Christmas with extra outfits, coats, etc... We LOVED those dolls!!

Another of my favorite dolls was an 8" Betsy McCall, she was so sweet! I was very careful with my dolls, but these older Betsy McCalls were pretty delicate. Her head seams separated and her leg kept falling off. I still loved her to pieces, she just had to wear tights all the time after that poor little thing.

My sister & I also played Barbies. We had ponytail Barbie, bubble cut Barbie, Midge, Skippers, and Francie dolls. We had the old cardboard Barbie Dream Houses w/ the cardboard furniture, and two seater convertible cars for our dolls. We had so much fun!!
