Madame Alexander Dolls

I recently received some 1950s Madame Alexander Dolls from their original owner.  The dolls were stored in a red metal truck and included some wonderful doll clothes.

This large doll is not a Madame Alexander doll.

The Burwell-Goss Home Sparta, Georgia

Recently my niece purchased the historic Burwell-Goss home in Sparta, Georgia. My sister and I had the opportunity to visit and help get started with some cleaning for her open house on December 13.  Hopefully over time it will be restore to a elegant and vibrant home. I expect no less from my niece.
