Good Ole Molly Olly

It was too nice of a morning not to take Molly outside and get some photos.

She's still so "typical girl"! Even after all these years.

Is it just me, or does she look a little chubby and photos?

Then again the Pleasant Company dolls were chubbier than American Girl dolls.

Meet Molly

Molly McIntire is the oldest doll in my collection. I received her for Christmas in 1987. She was the first doll any of us had ever seen with light brown hair and blue grey eyes which was the closest any doll ever came to being my twin as a child. 

Molly has a beautiful Grey eyes with just a hint of blue. She's also the only doll to date to be issued with glasses.

Molly has the very first white muslin body which was only used for a few years. If you look closely, you can see the white muslin poking out of her button-down shirt. Yes, those are real buttons!

Molly will always hold a special place in my heart for the memories I made with her and the way she helped me grow as a child. 

Meet Felicity

Felicity is my second oldest doll by about five to seven years. Maybe more! I received her from my grandparents and aunt in 1991 - just months after she was launched. I'm not sure you can see in any of the pictures, but she has the beautiful soft eyelashes characteristic of Pleasant Company/Pre-Mattel dolls. 

She is the doll i first fell in love with for her pure beauty. Her story is by far one of my favorites. 

Look at those eyes!

She is a true carot-top and has the spunky personality to boot! She fights for what is right. Even if her methods aren't always "propper". Besides her love of justice, Felicity has a curiosity about the world she lives in. She is growing up in a time of great change. Yet she is wise, compassionate, and genuine beyond her years. 

Even as a child i found Felicity's collection special.

The detail amazes me to this day. She is a doll worth cherishing.
