I didn't need to hear that about Kit's cute lunch box. I've been eyeing it on the sale page, but trying to resist.
I think the description says Molly's lunchbox is supposed to be a hand-me-down from Jill? It makes more sense that Molly's family would have helped the war effort by donating the lunchbox for s**** metal and given Molly paper bags for her lunch. But oh well. The metal lunchbox is cool!
<center>That's right about the 'hand me down' story.
I remember walking to school with my bag lunch and picking up pieces of 'tinfoil' along the street and making a big ball of it to donate..
'Course I remember rationing stamps,too.
And my MOm making me really nice dresses from feed sacks (even undies)<blushes>
Am I dating myself here??? [img]graemlins/wonder.gif[/img] </center>

I'm SERIOUSLY into 40s/50s stuff and I am young and have no excuse! I have tons of vintage dresses (that I actually wear) and I am trying to redo my room with all vintage and retro pieces.
The young teens right now don't remember B&W TV or even knew what a rotary phone was, let alone how to use it! (I have both still hehe)
Congrats on Josefina! What a lucky find! I'm just pining to find an AG secondhand!! I found a Bitty, but I want to find an AG!!
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">ROFL I've gotten 2 AGs, a bitty, 2 bitty bears and Penny. I think I stole your luck [img]graemlins/devil.gif[/img] Nah seriously though, if you live in any major city they show up all the time. You just have to wait and keep looking.Originally posted by PrincessRuthie(Laura):

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">That's awesome that you found Josefina in a thrift store. she does deserve to be spoiled. I found my AGT #11 at a yard sale last year. she is very spoiled.Originally posted by bethmn:
[QB]Josefina was found hanging at a thrift store in just her panties and camisia so I think she's just glad to get anything and deserves to be spoiled.

And maybe this would convince her to get a computer.
I have a picture of my mother in third grade (1943-44) wearing a dress that looks almost exactly like Molly's Christmas dress.

Perhaps Molly had her lunchbox before the war started.
Maybe it would be nice of her to donate it to a s**** metal drive [img]smile.gif[/img] (a pretend one of course)

I'll spell it for you, two ways in case the first one doesn't work.
S C ********** R ******A//////P
Second way..
"S", then the letter after B, then the letter after Q, then "A", then "P".
Totally ridiculous.
