A BIRTHDAY GIFT

I will start at the beginning...I had a doll similar to this when I was a small girl. One day a friend of the family came over our house and ruined my much loved Chinese treasure. For over thirty years I have remember her and the vandalous child.
Recently while scurrying through an antique shop with family in tow, I spotted this darling. Because we were in a hurry I was not able to stop and paw her. Weeks went by and I passed that antique shop everyday to work and everyday I still thought about her. I finally stopped one day and decided to buy her for a birthday treat to myself. I panicked at first as she was not in the cabinet where I first spotted her but eventually under a pile of other dolls there she was. I love her. Men buy little red sports cars in mid life crisis's, I bought a memory.
