I must say that l so enjoyed your dolls you showed. I have the girl doll. She was in the my grandparents basement underneath the stairs. When l would go down the stairs l would see her. I would always say, hello Susie. No one new her real name, but to me she was Susie. One day my grandparents decided to sell their farm and got courage enough to ask grandma if l could have her, grandma smiled ,and said she's been looking for someone to love her. I took her and dressed her in a sweet dress, and a lite pink corduroy bonnet to match her coat. She had her Sunday go meeten clothes on. So sweet. Well her head has a little crack in it, but you would never know with the bonnet on. Her eyes are still beautiful. I must say when l listen to you, you bring back so many memories.😢. I miss my mother and grandparents so much. I lived a good share of my life in the country. All that fresh air! I must say there are times when you really bring a tear to my eyes, but good tears! I live in Oregon. Please keep your channel going.....whatever you talk about l enjoy. Your family is lucky to have you!!😻

I have an electric train set I got for christmas in the early 60s. It still runs. I bring it out about every Christmas and set it up for a few days. I also have a couple of trucks from that that time period. I guess I will still have them if I am still alive when I get in my 80s also. After I am gone I dont know what will happen to them. Keep the stories coming . We love them.

Granny Pat - you were a Godsend to me tonight - well I say tonight, but it’s actually the early hours of the morning. (I never sleep at night) I stumbled upon your Video by chance - and I thoroughly enjoyed your stories and your beautiful Dolls! Your Granddaughter was certainly right when she said that people would love to listen to your voice and your stories - I loved them! (by the way; I think your glasses are BEAUTIFUL!) I have very plain ones myself - which are like me! I love dolls too, but I was someone who was never allowed to have them as a child - and you can probably guess why, and so as an adult I made up for it by buying lots of them! Your Dolls are so lovely, and I think it’s wonderful that you kept and cherished them for so many years. I am very sentimental too and treasure things - but I lost all my treasured possessions in a very cruel and unfortunate ‘incident’. I don’t like to talk about - including a cloth Nursery Rhyme Book my Aunty bought me when I was one years old many years ago. It broke my heart... I know what loneliness is; I am unloved and unwanted, and always have been all of my life - I have no-one, and so I have had to make the best of my life as I can to survive. ‘Things’ (possessions) don’t let you down like people do, and so I have lots of things around me to compensate a very empty life. (but no people) I shall certainly be watching more of your Videos Granny Pat - it would seem you have LOTS of interesting things to tell - and you tell them in the most interesting way; you have a wonderful gift - Thank You SO much, and keep strong and healthy - the world needs people like you! Lots of love and good wishes to you always. xxx

I’m of the Barbie generation. Got the 1st one with the pony tail and striped bathing suit. Had many, many outfits for her and made some for her when I got her.Had the Ken doll too. Got the heavy cardboard house and furniture that was painted on cardboard to put together. When I married and built our own house, moved my things from Mother’s. 3 yrs later here came my baby girl. Couldn’t wait to teach her to sew her doll clothes. We bought her many different Barbie dolls.she kept a few in her bedroom but I had moved all my toys to our basement. I also made my sewing room down there. One day our basement flooded. The drain lines backed up from the city lines because a restaurant Dow; the street didn’t have a grease trap and all their grease stropped up the sewer. 6” of sewer water and rain water came in and got our baby dolls. Plus 2 clothes carriers. Had to throw away. She was able to save some of her other toys and after I divorced and built another house. When I moved in that one we stored a bunch of her things upstairs. I also stored my big canner, and other appliances , Christmas tree and all my window wreaths, etc up there. Few years later, my house was. Destroyed in an F-3 tornado that destroyed most of our town. Everything upstairs flew away with the roof along with. Special quilts I didn’t have room for downstairs. Fortunate my childhood Madame Alexander dolls of the Little Women family were in my China cabinet downstairs. So glad none of us were hurt but glad to have recovered a couple of her stuffed dolls. We still go to look for something occasionally and figure out it flew away in the 2012 tornado. Enjoying your videos and stories.

Just recently got interested in dolls. I crocheted two dresses each with a hoop skirt, pantaloones, n hats. Bought the shoes tho. These were for 18" american doll size outfits. I now have the bed dolls n fashion dolls to crochet for n just recently bought a 24" tall doll to crochet for. I got her for $2 !! She has no shoes n her feet are tinier than the american doll so that will be a challenge. What shocked me was how heavy the doll dresses i crocheted are heavy. But my grandaughters love them, 🥰.

Hi! Your dolls are precious! I love that you still have your 10 year old stitching on the brother doll's britches! What a great story! Love you met & took a class by the "Barbie Doll" mold creator! I wish I had some of my old dolls! I used to play with Barbies back in the early 60's & I had not only Barbie but her best friend Midge....remember Midge? Anyways...mom made all my Barbie doll clothes....she also made all my clothes...when i got old enough mom also taught me to sew! Not to many know how to sew anymore! I'm binging on all your videos now...i enjoy them so much! I have my mom's original Shirley Temple doll....it needs restrung & she always wanted to do it but never got around to it! I may just have to get that done! Thanks for sharing another great story! Lots of love...Marlene ❤

Granny Pat, your story about your dolls really touched my heart, because I too have always been very fond of my baby dolls. In fact, after my mom and dad passed away, and things were sorted out of the house, other than a pillow, one of mom’s quilts the only thing I got was my two baby dolls. They were the same doll one was just newer than the other. I remember waking up and the older baby, whose rubber arms and legs were attached with rubber hinges, I noticed that my babies arm hair come off because one of the hinges broke. I was eight years old and set up all night, crying over my baby and rocking her telling myself, I would never be a good mom because I had broke my baby. The next day I got home from school and my mama, who was a good seamstress, had sewn my doll a new body with stuffed arms and overalls just like you described, I was so excited and proud of my mom that I took my baby doll school the next day for show-&-tell in second grade. Now I don’t know if the other kids in the class were as proud of the their moms as I was mine, but I really didn’t care because I knew my mom loved me enough to try to fix everything in my life that was broken. That Christmas, Santa brought me the same doll but new. so I understand how attached you are to your baby dolls because I am the same way. Thank you for sharing your story. Good night Granny Pat.

How funny you said "Oops, we're ready for Halloween" when the doll's eye rolled back up! That made me think of my momma's eyes. She had a "wandering eye" sometimes because of an auto accident she was in back around 1956. That wreck knocked her eye socket out of place. That crazy eye was the reason my sister and eye learned to control our eyes and roll them around back at her. My Midge Barbie was still in her attic, until a family member decided to go through and purge things.

I always loved getting to listen to older people tell stories of “the old days.” Now my great grandma had had a stroke before I was old enough to ask her to tell me some stories. She just looked at me blankly when I did. My grandma was too busy to stop and talk. She did when she was much much older, but by then it was hard because I was too busy! So I am enjoying you so much now since you have time to tell me things, and cancer has slowed me down enough to listen! Lol! It’s all in the timing! Thank you.

OH MY!!!!! What a wonderful video!!!!! I have always been very regretful and in recent years VERY ANGRY at myself that I was so stupid not to save a single doll, or for,that matter not a single toy of any kind from my childhood…!!!! I had several beautiful dolls, and also tea sets. I do have a stuffed Teddy Bear that I had growing up…THANK GOODNESS…!!! I had an original, Barbie, Ken, Midge and Skipper and so many clothes for them. Sadly and so stupidly, I gave them all away to a younger cousin. SO STUPID I WAS…!!!! Once I thought I was “grown,” I gave all my dolls and toys away, never giving a thought to the fact I would have a daughter of my own one day who would have loved to have had all the things I gave away…!!! I encouraged my daughter not to ever give away anything from her childhood!!! Her old room is still pretty much the way she left it when she moved out on her own after she finished college. Several closets here in the house are stuffed to the brim with all her early childhood treasures…!!! My daughter, now 42, has been unable to have any children, which has been heartbreaking for her; but she still doesn’t want to part with any of her childhood treasures. Thank goodness she has used more sense than I did…!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this video…!!!! you keep them coming and I will keep watching ANYTHING you post…!!! Sending lots of love and huge hugs…!!!

Granny Pat, hello. I loved your doll video and it brought back a memory of my sock doll named Sag. I was very little, about 5 when I woke up in the morning and realized I’d left Sag, my constant companion, downstairs.i was doing sewing cards at that age so I knew blunt needle and yarn. I saw my Sag on the floor but one of his arms had been chewed off. That is the earliest worst memory I have. Because I normally slept with Sag on my chest and ‘told him everything.’ I think I must have fallen asleep downstairs on the living room rug and got carried upstairs without the monkey. My Mother came into the room and heard me having a complete meltdown. I was so distressed. She wanted me to throw him away. He had many holes everywhere and the nylon stockings stuffing was coming out the holes from where the dogs teeth had been. I refused to let him go. So she threaded a big blunt needle with brown coat thread and I did my best to sew his arm on and sew up the holes. I am turning 70 in July and I still have Sag in my bedroom. One of my granddaughters knows that when I die she needs to come get Sag. He was made by my godmother who was the Catholic priests housekeeper out of one of his socks. My Mother could sew but she wasn’t keen on it as was my grandmother, who was a seamstress, known for her invisible hems. She taught me how to sew by hand French seams. I still enjoy sewing a sleeveless blouse or doll by hand using my grammas technique. My grandmother always made a pattern dress to fit on the women of muslin to get the alterations just right before she ever cut into the beautiful material the ladies would bring her. Sometimes a bankers wife would bring her a whole trunk full of fabric and tell her the basic style she wanted done up in many suits and dresses. I loved to watch my gramma sew and even after she had cut the fabric she basted every seam and they had to come in for another fitting. My gramma had learned hatmaking as a young woman, so she was no stranger to the needle and thread. She did not care to make quilts as she had made many blankets for her family. She did help me make a strip quilt when I was 19 and had many pieces of blue prints. My Mother proved to me she could sew and sew fast, but not quite as carefully, but stylish. . Once she bought a shirtwaist dress pattern with buttonholes and a tie belt and 5 pieces of fabric. I watched her cut out these dresses and sew them up in an afternoon! They were very stylish at the time in the early 60s. I love the sewing stories of making doll clothes and dolls and school dresses. I was allowed to pick out 2 or 3 material when I was about to start first grade. I chose a blue solid polished cotton, and a green cotton with apples on it . Also black corduroy for a jumper dress. The lady named Laura down the street who sewed made me those dresses for 5 dollars apiece. And the work was beautiful. She was about your age. I was kind of a pill and jumped over our white picket fence going into our backyard and caught my hem ripping a long slash at the top of the huge hem. We always had large hems so they could be let down as we grew. Boy did I hear about that! My Mother repaired it with the new fangled iron on tape! Anyway keep the stories comin, Granny Pat!

Mom, I have Wanda’s doll with a light blue crocheted outfit that Mamaw made. It is in safekeeping. I also have Jessica’s doll. I’ll bring them over. And I agree about the clicker…I laugh every time. ❤️

Thank you for sharing your dolls. They are both adorable. The story of the sister doll made me feel sad for your little self. That would have been terrible. I remember trying to sew doll clothes as a child. Every doll had an elastic waist skirt.😂 Your brother doll clothes are very special!

Oh you’re a seamstress! That’s one skill that at 50 I have yet to learn. Always dreamed I’d make all those items you mention. How sweet for your daughter and granddaughters, also.

Lovely chit chat, lovely crazy eyed doll.... LOL! Your video's caught my eye about a month ago, because you kind of look like my mother. She was born in 1924 and passed in 2002. I have always liked to listen to older adults talk about the old times. So, your channel is right up my alley!! I still have one of my dolls from childhood, i named her Mary Jane and her hair is a total wreck with bald spots everywhere!

Keep sharing with us, Granny Pat! I love history and learning what life was like back in the day. I like to think we’re all sort of like pen pals getting to know you and one another by watching and listening to your videos and commenting together. Your stories are fascinating and you are simply wonderful!!🥰

It is like you are taking us into a magical Twilight Zone. Your dolls are soo sweet. There is a saying, you can not put an old head on young shoulders. Some times we do not realise until it is too late and our loved ones have passed on. I pretend you are my grandmother and take the time to listen to you. You have a very soothing voice which makes you more engaging than most story tellers. Thank you Pat, keep sharing your stories . . you are loved🥰

I got my first doll yet. She lost a finger n she wears a feed bag dress. I also have 3 other dolls I sit on my bed to decorate my bed. I only remember getting one doll at a little store in Pottsville Pa n I can still picture the bin it was displayed in. She was like 24” tall. I loved my doll so much. I am 71 years old now so my first doll is 60 some years old. And I won’t get rid of it even though she has gone through the mill so to say.I just love dolls.Lots of memories with that one doll I got when I was a little girl. We didn’t have a lot of money back then.

Pat, I am 76 years old and I have a collection of dolls, including one from my childhood in the 1950’s. I have two composition dolls that I love including my first dolls. I’ve bought several other dolls over the years that I just liked, and a couple of designer dolls. I display my dolls around my house and they keep me company, as I, too, live alone. My brother gets freaked out about dolls, so when they visit, I have to move my dolls out of the guest bedroom. I think it is strange, but many people have doll phobias! I have many collections, so I have been enjoying seeing yours. If we lived close we would have a lot to show each other. Keep making videos, they are very enjoyable. Annetta

I understand about the doll phobias. I have a doll painting that created a phobia for my BIL. He said the doll kept following him when he moved across the room.

You seem like such a loving mother and grandmother. The reason you are doing the videos is the reason I am watching them. I have one son and he is busy and I live alone. I do love to read though and often feel like I have new friends after I finish a book. Are you holding your mouth the right way when trying to click? Too funny.

Loved this segment you presented on dolls! Boy how times have changed and toys have evolved and changed over the years!! There's history behind those dolls. So fascinating to hear your story about your mom helping you with the sewing of doll outfits and the course you took in Calf.!

Love the dolls. Quite remarkable that you have kept them all these years, and in such beautiful condition. Loved hearing every detail about these dolls and their story in your life. And *yes*, they are exactly right: your voice is very engaging and commands attention, while at the same time soothing. I want you to know, I sent your video with a friend, and she loved it and replied: i love her speaking, she sounds just like Mister Rogers. Yes, that’s a compliment! ❤️
