Oh what a wonderful book Vintagemad . I love it ! I have done a few articles on Shirley Temple dolls . I think it goes back to my Mom she wanted me to look like her and when she was small she really believed she lived by Shirley Temple and would wait by this little shack for her to come out :-) I saw the house as a adult and laughed when I told my Mom She would never have lived in that little ole house in Wi :-) I don't think a child has ever compared to ST in talent again
Thanks for sharing the book ! I wish I could reach in and turn the pages on it :-)
Love it !!!!!
I think we all wish we could say we were eight. Thanks for all the loves.
Okay -- I am a closet fan -- the movie Heidi put me over the edge when I was 6yrs. old.
